“German Rose” Ring Purse

16th Century Belt Bag

Our “German Rose” Collection is full of simple yet stunning pieces that use strong shapes and flawless construction techniques to give a sense of understated luxury. Inspired by the 16th century, we have used historical images and sources to design items that are mostly historical, with usually just a touch of fantasy. In most cases, the fantasy we apply is practical aspects such as better materials, or more robust construction methods to help our items survive life in the modern world.

This bag is built around a metal ring, which was a popular style in the 16th century and can be seen in references being used by a variety of different people. Though there are many extravagant examples, we chose to go simple with ours and design something that doesn’t take away from the rest of your costume in an extravagant way. Instead, it kind of blends in and supports the natural beauty of the rest of your kit.

The good news about this bag is that we haven’t found a phone that won’t fit in it! We understand the struggle of trying to conceal your modern items, and it can be hard to find a bag that will fit larger phones. This purse gives you plenty of room to hide your phone, keys, wallet, and other essentials, so you can carry your modern conveniences on your with ease. The bag closes in the middle of the ring with a drawstring.

This bag is buttery soft, made from Nappa leather, a material we usually use for gloves. Nappa leather is very thin and drapes beautifully, making it the ideal fabric to use for a luxurious purse. The inside is lined with flax linen, which will keep any of your belongings safe. Because of the high-quality leather and simple design, we can imagine this bag being used with modern fashion as well! This belt can be carried by a loop at the top, which has the same stunning nappa leather on the outside, with a slightly more rigid leather underneath to stop it from stretching. This loop can also be used as a belt hanger - it is easy to thread your belt through.
