Tudor Mint
Elizabethan bags, pouches, carry-alls?
What was the Elizabethan equivalent of a backpack? I’m looking at the nobility in the Tudor era, which I guess most times wouldn’t have to carry their own things (no research on that, though). But what range of bags did they use to carry person items with them (journals, needlework, breath mints (HA!), etc.) ? I’ve seen people with little ‘pockets,’ but that’s about it, and I’m pretty sure they must have had something a bit larger.
During the Elizabethan era, when women’s skirts expanded to vast widths and men’s dressing become increasingly ornate in nature, girdle pouches of the previous century were worn concealed. Women wore them beneath their expansive petticoats, and men wore leather pockets, or “bagges,” inside their breeches.
Peasants and travelers wore cloth bags diagonally across the body.
Aristocrats began carrying “swete bagges” filled with sweet smelling material to make up for poor hygiene. Swete bagges also were stored with clothes and linens to freshen them.
