Eighteenth-Century Women Tied Their Pockets around the Waist as Separate Garments｜十八世紀女性的『口袋』可以是另外綁在腰上的一件衣物

The Met describes an eighteenth-century woman's pocket as a separate accessory tied around the waist, used to carry everyday items such as keys, thimbles, handkerchiefs, spectacles and coins.

此類 detachable pocket 的可見性、取得方式與社會使用因服裝層次和階級而異；不能把一件館藏概括成所有女性都同樣使用。
