We know, we know—a lot of you guys are not big fans of fanny packs. You’ve made that clear every time I’ve written about them in the near-decade I’ve been working at PurseBlog, which happens every couple years when designers try and make them happen. Well, they’re finally happening, just in time for summer. (Which, really, is the most appropriate time for a belt bag; lots of hands-free activities happen during warm weather.) Louis Vuitton sealed the deal for us.
If you needed any proof that now really is the time for fanny packs, just look at any of your favorite retailers and check out the huge diversity of designers that are making them this season. And that’s exactly what we did today, and we picked out the best, in case your feelings about the trend are starting to soften. If they are, you’re in luck—even the designer versions of these bags tend to be inexpensive, compared to the rest of a particular brand’s line, and we found plenty of super stylish non-designer versions for less than $200.
