the bum bag, fanny pack, belly bag, buffalo pouch or the hip sack, call it what you wish but im sure it conjours up the same images for us all: oap's holidaying it up in benidorm or small children at disney. yes we've all owned one at some point but it's one of those items that we've buried deep deep deep into our fashion pasts with not a chance of a revival...until maybe now that is. designers went bum bag bonkers at the ss10 catwalks with louis vuitton, d&g and ashish all sporting the mini bag. fear not though, think less beige and khaki canvas styles currently loved and adorned by grandpa and ma but more acid brights covered in studs ala. ashish or tan leather with colourful fringing courtsey of louis vuitton (see above).
infact, the more and more i think about it the more and more i realise that the bum bag is a gypsetters perfect companion! it's ideal for festivals, allowing its wearer to stress less about pick pocketers and free up both hands for those euphoric sing-a-long moments. wonderful! as much as i would love to purchase the vuitton one (have you seen those tassles?) i think mr bank would love me much more if i settled for this tappestry urban outfitters version instead (see above).
suddenly the summer festival season cannot begin quick enough!
