Designer's Note
Sometimes at my 'real job' I wear clothes that don't have pockets, but I still need to have my mobile phone close enough to me so that I can feel it vibrate during a meeting. This litle pouch stays hidden under a jacket, and doesn't add bulk. Choose feminine pink, or wild self-striping colors that only you will know are there. Enjoy! —Brooks Jones
