The Ray Mears Leather Spice Pouch is based on a traditional Sami design just like our coffee and dry food pouches and is a beautiful and practical way to protect, transport and store smaller quantities of powdered and granulated food stuffs or other small items. Ray has been using a larger version of this style of leather storage pouch for many years in his travelling brew kit and often in his expedition camp kitchen.
Made from a fine grained, tactile calf skin in a rich dark chocolate colour, these small pouches are perfect for taking sachets of salt, pepper, herbs, spices, baking powder, stock cubes and more into the woods for some outdoor culinary action.
The rounded shape of the pouch aids access to the contents – less rummaging in corners. This size is just big enough to get your hand in but won’t swamp the sachets that make up your mobile spice rack. These luxuriously soft pouches are also more packable than hard canisters, squashing down to the size of the contents to avoid carrying unnecessary bulk. The flexible shape can be packed into convenient gaps and pockets.
The neck is closed by way of the attached 'self-gripping' twisted leather cord, more effective and easier to use than a flat leather tie. The leather swing tag carries the Ray Mears 'snowshoe' logo and is left undyed on the reverse to allow you to write on the pouch contents if desired.
Please store your foodstuffs in plastic food bags within the leather pouch (grip seal bags are particularly useful for smaller quantities); the hide helps to protect the contents from punctures and spills.
All of our leather and canvas goods are hand-made by Woodlore's resident leather worker Becky Brewster, a craftswoman with decades of experience. For an insight into Ray’s ethos on our leather goods, please view our Leather Goods page.
