I have never understood the obsession with people drawing bag-pouches in high fantasy settings.
Nobody wore bag-pouches! It's literally the worst possible shape for carrying shit!
It's always been a cartoon trope. Even in fucking 1197, carrying a loose sack full of cash was considered a joke trait.
The oldest coin purses I've seen are from thousands of years ago and guess what they're shaped like? A FUCKING PURSE.
This is because ever since we invented stitching, we stitched purses.
