Poland and the original wording is "kołczan prawilności".
The "righteousness" in question is a calque from the Russian adjective "правильный", meaning "correct, right, proper" and originates from prison slang. I believe the equivalent English term is "Original Gangster".
The term is of course used in jest in reference to how man-purses, out of all things, are normalized among people associating themselves with street culture, especially that my understanding is that those items were initially just fanny packs worn differently.
