There is a bag that doesn't have a bag, when the bag's mouth is just as deep as the fingertips. What is their purpose?

You may also realize that on your clothes and dresses, there are always strange bags - thought to be fake but real.

At first glance, it is a bag, but the mouth is closed or the mouth is just deep with the nail.

You think, this bag is for decoration purposes only? But nowhere because hidden behind the bag of the fake is a secret that surprised you.

The mouth of the sealed bag or the mouth of the bag is just as deep as the nail.

The secret behind the bags seems to be "fake"

There are two ways to know that the closed mouth bag is real or fake. The first is based on the thickness of the fabric: if the bag is thicker than usual, it is most likely a real bag.

Or try pulling the mouth of the bag a bit strong. If it is a real bag, the mouth of the bag will have loose stitches and pull it out immediately.

After determining whether it's a real bag or fake, you can cut it and open it with a knife or scissors.

Why is a real bag that stitches the mouth like a fake?

The main purpose of this is to keep clothes in shape when storing them in stock. Or when hanging in the store, the opening of the mouth can make the shirt look messy, so sewing is necessary.

However, when did these bags exist? Turns out, behind it is a long story.

In the 17th century to the early 19, coat pockets and pants pockets never appeared. Instead, removable cloth bags, attached under baggy dresses. With the same bag, they can attach to many different dresses.

The loose bags are hidden under the skirt in the 17th century.

In the early 19th century, fashion began to have a strong transformation. The skirt of that dress was thinner, more compact and more compact, making it impossible to insert a removable bag underneath.

It is also the time when clothes are added with a pocket, pants pocket, to help women 's skirts have a more convenient part.

But by the middle of the 19th century, fashion was once again transformed. This time, the bags are still there, but are often stitched.

According to Sarah C. Byrd, a fashion historian from the Institute of Fashion Technology (USA), the reason is that fashion has started to "embrace and dress the wearer". And if so, the opening of the mouth of the bag will cause the figure to be deflected, no longer as the designer intended.

Byrd said such bags are like a "reminder" that the wearer should not open it.

"As a designer, you don't want people to stick their hands in their pockets, causing the seams to deviate," Byrd said. "If you want to be stylish with a luxurious look, don't open it. But if you want to use it, just cut it."
