In a century's time, the purse was given much clout as a status symbol, and much of the more elite individuals at the time were wearing them as a sign of their place in society. Paintings of the day reveal that many treasure purses were flat pouches gathered by tasseled strings, and by the end of the century; most women were seen preferring to hide their pouches under their skirts as fashion went undercover. All of this would change with the years, and pockets were turned inside of breeches. By the eighteenth century, men had discarded the purse as a necessary item of use, and women could not keep the pouch of the treasure purse because their attire had become too delicate to conceal the "pocket". Instead, they were using the reticule, as they were denoted then, which later became the purse we know of today.
