Worytki

Worytki is a Polish word referring to small, traditionally handmade bags or pouches, often made from fabric or leather. These pouches served various purposes throughout history, primarily for carrying small personal items such as money, tobacco, or small tools.

The term "worytki" implies a degree of simplicity and functionality over ornate design. While some worytki might be decorated, their primary characteristic is their practicality as a container for everyday necessities. They are distinct from larger bags (torby) or more elaborate purses (torebki). The size and material of a worytki could vary depending on its intended use and the resources available to the maker. Historically, they were a common item used by peasants and laborers.
