I have some stock left over from doing a couple of markets this summer, so they are all up for online sale now until I next book any markets. Albeit most of it is viking styled, but most can be worn in normal circumstances and you wouldnt know it was 'viking'. They are also up for sale on Etsy, but I like to offer a little discount on BCUK 
All prices include UK postage, which is 1st class recorded delivery. Add £5 for overseas shipping.
Please PM me to secure.

4. Waxy Pull-up birka pouches £65
More birka style pouches. I have two of these which are totally identical. These are made from 2.2mm trail waxy pull-up leather which is impregnated with oils and wax making them fairly decent water/weather proof. When you squeeze or flex the leather it goes lighter in colour showing a beautiful rustic texture, which will return to its original colour afterwards. These have the same twin belt loops and braided closure strap. All saddle-stitched. Dimensions: approx 6 x 5 x 2 inches.
Note: I also have another one of these which is the same style as the plain brown birka pouches above with the single plain strap/belt loop. It's a little cheaper at £55 so let me know if you would be interested in one of those instead. EDIT: Picture below

9. Valknut Sporran sold
Typical sporran style pouch, but much larger than usual with dimensions approx 8 x 6 x 2 inches. Made with thick and durable shoe suede which has a great rustic look and feel to it. The Valknut has been gouged out. I originally filled in the carving with antique paste but noticed when taking the pictures some had come out, so i have re-dyed the valknut with black dye so it looks much cleaner. Hand saddle-stitched for durability.

11. Waxy Pull-up Haithabu bag. both now sold
Made with trail waxy pull-up cowhide which makes this bag fairly decent water/weather proof. The leather shows a beautiful grain and colours when squeezed or rumpled, but will always return to it's original colour making it a rather unique hide. All hand saddle-stitched.
These bags are based on the historical hedeby/haithabu bag finds from the viking period. The wooden frames atop each bag act as the closure system. The leather strap is fed through the frames, which open along the strap. When the bag is released, the weight of it pulls both frames together and closes the bag. Because the closure works with the weight of the bag and tension of the strap, it is incredibly difficult for anyone to get their hand in the bag without lifting it up to release the tension. Therefor, it is reasonably pick pocket proof
Dimensions are approx (excluding wooden frame part): 9.5 x 9.5 x 3 inches. The frames add 2 inches to the height.
