Wow, this was such a fascinating journey through history 💯 I had no idea that women originally carried pouches tied around their waists or that perfume bottles, chatelaines were once not just fashion but practical tools and status symbols. It’s incredible how WW1 shifted women’s clothing toward functionality by adding sewn in pockets.

Your family photos from the perfume museum add such beautiful context, they bring the history to life. Thank you for blending history, culture and personal memory in this post. I learned something new and meaningful today.
