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!
