Saleswoman: The handbag: Once, a modest black weight. Now, a loud, proud symbol of the excess burdens women must bear! The supplies...the remedies...modern women aren't afraid for the world to see the sacrifices we selflessly make to shoulder the caregiving of the universe!! Cathy: Why don't modern women just insist on clothes with a few pockets? Saleswoman: Where would we hide our stash of "thin mints"?
I believe that the reason pockets are sewn shut prior to purchase is to keep them from opening and getting misshapen, as they often do with a lot of use.
You are supposed to pull the thread and open them before you wear the garment.
