@sewingnapoleon: Chatelaines were the OG “utility belt” but I never understood them. For example, are you really gonna need a tiny notebook and a pencil? Probably not. But TikTok is centering style in the chatelaine conversation. What if it’s not just about utility, but also making a fashion statement? The tiny wax sealer has the same function as the pastel blue puff ball: it’s cute! Weigh in and yell at me in the comments: is this form, function, or somewhere in the middle? Videos are from @Smilekennedy and @Taylor Timinskas and used with permission. Chatelaines I almost got rights to are from @newmexicohistorymuseum and photos are from the met and the sf museums of fine arts.

It's older than the Victorian era by at least half a century.

I've seen lots of late Victorian skirts with huge pockets, don't spread misinformation.

pockets are like a big thing I think, also not needing to have a purse on you, I have a carabiner I clip unto everything, and my phone has a little hanger so I can also clip that to it
