Handbags are for wallets, mints and toys. Not sure that I want to add these bumps anywhere on my person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-designers-the-point-of-pockets#post-1040648 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 09:06:38 +0000 Deborah 1040648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't use my pockets, and I don't put my hands in them, so I don't mind so much:). Occasionally I might put my phone in my jacket pocket if not carrying my bag and if that fits I am happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-designers-the-point-of-pockets#post-1040469 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 23:54:03 +0000 K. Period. 1040469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guh. So true. I just bought a pair of trousers and they had fake pockets that were like 2" deep. Not just fake slash pockets or welt pockets on the seam. Real pocket, pockets. But 2" deep. In (kinda) the words of Derek Zoolander: What is this? A pocket for ants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-designers-the-point-of-pockets#post-1040453 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 23:19:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 1040453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've learned the hard way. <br />Now I check the pockets &amp; washing instructions on everything&nbsp;&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-designers-the-point-of-pockets#post-1040452 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 23:02:31 +0000 Marlene 1040452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that teeny pockets are silly.&nbsp; Also silly...jacket pockets way back on the side seam.&nbsp; My arms don't bend that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-designers-the-point-of-pockets#post-1040307 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 18:57:41 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1040307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hands? Mine are used for whatever my 2 year old asks me to hold. Yesterday it was a small plastic horse, spare hair clips and a sticker.</p> <p>But YY to useful pockets. Items with faux pockets should carry a warning so that you don't walk out of the shop before discovering this fact. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dear-designers-the-point-of-pockets#post-1040247 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 17:47:55 +0000 lyn* 1040247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee hee.

They're clearly placed to allow me to put my hands in them, so why the heck are they so stupidly short and small? &nbsp;Either put in a pocket,or don't! &nbsp;Sheez. </p>
