Concealed pocket system

Abstract

A concealed pocket system is described herein. The concealed pocket system has a concealed pouch assembly disposed on a clothing garment. A concealed pocket of the concealed pouch assembly is disposed within a hand pouch and has at least one access point to a storage area of the concealed pocket. The concealed pocket system enables users to securely store items in the clothing garment, while effectively hiding points of access to the storage area (i.e. the interior pocket compartment) of the concealed pocket, thereby providing an additional layer of security.
