Type 10 Bells
Exclusive purses with a brass decorative hanger or frame.
Popular in the Middle Ages, especially in the 14th and 15th centuries, these handbags in various sizes were often used by both men and women. Their shape resembled a bell, and the handle was a metal frame, most often made of brass or bronze. The closures and handles of the bags were often richly decorated, and the bag itself was made of various materials, including fabric, leather, and metal accessories. Leather elements could be decorated with geometric plant patterns or sayings, which added elegance.
