We know this name sounds a bit like a plastic toy, but Lucy Locket is a real ‘thing’, not just the name of our short. Taken from the 19th century English nursery rhyme of the same name about a girl who loses her pocket. Fictitious she may be, although there was talk that she was inspired by a celebrated courtesan of Kind Charles second. There you go. Back then a pocket was a pouch worn by women, around the waist on a ribbon, and their skirts had a slit in them for access. Quite like the idea of that. Seems a straightforward way to carry one’s purse.Made from a soft, fairly lightweight cotton loop back sweat shirting. Elasticated rib to waistband and rib detail to pockets and cuffs.95% Cotton, 5% ElastaneMade in Portugal
