It’s coming…
The rumblings started around 2011 when Hermes walked this one down the runway..
Givenchy did a little number too.
And the odd street style star picked up the vibe.
But this year the noise is getting louder..Spotted at The Row’s Pre-fall 2014 Collection..
Tory Burch SS14, did it more than once..
And now Chanel?
Maybe it’s all been about branding…’Bum’ bag is really such an ugly word. But ‘hipster’ ‘Belt bag’? Far more class..
Mine is permanently attached to my side whether it’s cross body or as a belt bag. Not just because I like the look..but it’s just so practical as well..Compared to the eighties we’re now in the land of miniature and everything fits in perfectly.
All hail the return! Long may it last!

Reblogged this on Life! When did it happen? and commented:
The return of the fanny pack… #highfashionstyle #rebirth #workthatfannypack
Bum bags not so good for oversized bums though 🙂
Wow–I’m not sure I would’ve predicted this! The examples you show are super-stylish–not at all what I remember from the last go around!
No way – I did that back the first time. But definitely ok if it’s a cross body. Not the waist.
Love them all except Chanel…..too close to the horrors of before. Practical and fashionable? Well I never!! Xx
I love both types of bags on other people. I can do crossbody, it is tough depending upon where it lands and the proportion. But when you have a heavy duty hourglass figure — the bum bag is a nightmare. Add more to the hips? hide the waist? make a tummy? add more to the back end? No, Thanks — there are other options available. XO
My apologies, but I live too close to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and seen too many tourists wearing HIDEOUS versions of the “fanny pack” (complete with water bottles?!) to ever embrace a return of the trend;-)
Yours is definitely my favourite one !!! xxxxx
I always have a problem looking at women’s fashions because I focus on how skinny the women models are and I just want to sit them down over a couple of pizzas and help them eat!
Hallelujah, I love the new take on them, not that couture will be in my student specials collection, but high street versions will follow for under a tenner and then I’ll be in. At last I can go to a gig without carrying everything in my bra!
You are so right. It’s a tricky thing to make cool, but I love how you did it.

The evolution of the fanny pack! Nice post!
Lol…oh agree, the royal “they” are trying so desperately hard to get us all to bite on this one…
but even with its high score for practicality, fanny packs “were” and “are” style nightmares…
but crossover mini-bags–a stylish dream and far more chic!!
Fabulous post Kate~ xo
I’ll take that first hipster belt, please.
I’m in love! My fav’s are 1st, 2nd & 3rd and I can’t tell which I like best, I guess I’ll have to take them all!
hermes, please.
