Secret hiding spots are no longer exclusive to impenetrable safes, swinging bookshelves, or hollowed-out tree trunks in the middle of the woods. Clandestine storage solutions have gone mainstream — meaning we can now shop portable, wearable, and displayable options that will easily conceal all of our most valuable stuff — and help camouflage some of our clutter.
We hunted down 16 of these modern hideaways in an array of unique fashion to homeware styles. So, until we master the Regina-George art of hiding secrets in our big hair, we'll need to rely on the alternative devices ahead for stashing our most personal belongings. Scroll on to discover your new favorite stowaway spot for keys, medicine, money, entryway essentials, a big 'ol pile of your kids toys, love notes, flasks, and whatever else your secret-storing hearts desire.
