Bum bag, belt bag, fanny pack; call it what you may, this practical accessory has a long and varied history. Last seen in the 80s in a splash of neon, sitting high on the hips of roller skating teens, the new incarnation has taken a phenomenally fashion-forward turn. Bringing the hands-free bag into the luxury realm, design houses have introduced premium materials and timeless shapes, meaning the newly invigorated piece is as practical as it is pretty. A luxury accessory that is deserving of its second coming, we’re welcoming the bum bag back with open, unhindered arms.
