Many thanks, keep up the good work, Lynn

    1. Thank you for the compliment about my site! I wish I could help you with the leather purse, but it is not my specialty. There are two books you might be interested in, called Purses in Pieces by Olaf Goubitz and Dress Accessories 1150-1450, by Geoff Egan and Frances Pritchard. These can give you a clearer idea of the styles of leather purses in use at least in the northern European areas, during the medieval time period. Best wishes.
