Viking Hedeby Bag

Made with an unknown but very unique leather; thick and tough, but also soft. The sides of the bag are made with cowhide, and they are laced up with high quality calf skin. The wooden frames are Oak, secured with sturdy copper rivets. The strap is natural hemp rope bag dimensions (excluding wood) measures roughly 27cm long, 25cm wide, 10cm thick

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 rope strap is fed through the frames, which open along the rope. 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 rope, 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
