The history of the money cat
If you are looking for a historical storage option for your coins, the beautiful coin purse is the perfect choice. The purse, which was widely used in the Middle Ages, was a safe way of storing coins. The coins were stored in both ends of the pouch. The functional accessory was worn folded over the belt so that the coins were always to hand. Money pouches were widespread until the 19th century. Originally, they were made from the elongated bellows of cats.
Moneycats from the 19th century onwards
In the 19th century, it was a pouch made of leather that was sewn in a tubular shape. Alternatively, numerous models were also knitted and crocheted. A characteristic feature was the elongated slit, which served to prevent the coins from falling out unintentionally. In some models, metal rings were also attached to serve as a clasp. As paper money became more and more widespread as a means of payment, the coin purse increasingly fell into oblivion.
Product features of the medieval purse
If you opt for a coin purse, you can store coins as well as a check card or keys in it. This model measures 13 x 35 cm and offers plenty of storage space. You can wear your accessory around your belt and don't have to rummage around in a bag for your wallet. This model is characterized by the supple nappa leather, which has a fascinating surface structure.
The brown-beige wallet is equipped with an artfully designed slider that serves as a clasp. You can open it by pulling the slider to the side. As soon as you gently swivel your historic wallet, your coins or cards slide into the middle and you can easily remove them. Alternatively, you can choose the color combination black and brown. This medieval model is also available in red and green as well as black and red.
