During the Middle Ages clothing had been regarded as a means of concealing the body. But with the Renaissance came the accentuation of the human form. With the lavish dress of this time tailors were required at court to make lavish and exuberant clothing or costumes. While doing a fitting he would need several tools which he would carry in a large bag just like the Suede Master Tailor Renaissance Suede Bag. It would have needed to be large enough to carry sewing tools such as needles, pins, scissors, snips, shears, thimbles, needle cases, pin cases, reels, awls, and lucets. This richly colored bag is both suited for men and women. It is constructed of suede with a drawstring closure for easy opening and closing. Tie on your person and complete any period costume.
