A fold-over security pocket is provided herein. The fold-over security pocket includes a panel having a first portion including an inner-facing surface that is overlaid with fasteners, a second portion including an inner-facing surface that is overlaid with complementary fasteners, and a hinge portion separating the first portion from the second portion. At least one of the inner-facing surfaces has a slit opening which extends into an interior space, so that an item may be inserted into the slit opening and stowed in the space. The hinge portion is flexible and enables the first portion to be folded over onto the second portion so that the inner-facing surfaces meet, and the fasteners mate with the complementary fasteners, thereby securing the pocket in a closed configuration as well as any item inserted into the space via the slit opening.
