A small bag with two compartments for useful little things. Adjustable strap for wearing on the waist or on the shoulder.

 

Handmade in the island workshop of Drasvi Venn in Moscow.

 

Historically, keys, money, combs, a handkerchief, candies or gingerbread, and other small items could be carried in such a bag.

A treasury bag can hold a phone up to 6.5 inches, a passport, or other small items that a modern person needs every day.

 

Historical background:

A treasury bag (aka lakomnik) is a small bag or pocket hung on the neck, or more often on the belt. Worn over an apron or under it - to protect against theft. An element of traditional Russian costume, it was widespread. Men's were often leather, and women's woven. Internal pockets on clothes appeared relatively late, on men's clothing - in the 18th-19th centuries, and on women's clothing even later - in the 19th century, so there were external ones made of fabric or leather. Festive variations could be decorated with embroidery, beads and lace.

 

This is a piece from the Oreka collection (oreka in russenorsk means river or nut), which presents the author's vision of women's accessories.

Limited drop in sunset pink color.
