A medieval money pouch differs from a simple purse in its elongated, tubular shape, usually with two separate compartments, and is worn looped over a belt. A simple purse, on the other hand, is typically a round pouch with a drawstring. To care for it, the leather should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and treated every few months with colorless leather grease or balm. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and heat from radiators to keep the material supple and prevent it from becoming brittle.
