Fanny Pack for the Future

by Erin Flynn

That’s right ladies! Remember those fanny packs that were unfortunately so popular in the 80s and 90s? Well…let’s face it. We still see some today.

Secretly we all liked them a little, right? I mean they were conveinent. You could fit about anything you wanted in them,  and we also can’t deny that they were ideal for tourists carrying around snacks, a camera, or small children. (maybe not the last)

Anyhow…the point I’m making is the trend is back but in a more glorified fashion. Don’t worry because this time we won’t be carrying them around our waist with a strap buckle, but instead across it. It’s known as the cross body or saddle bag, a.k.a the messenger bag.

We’ve seen them on our mailmen for years! What do you get? Style and Comfort.

Now if only we could say that about everything else we wear.

Whether you’re in school, going to work, or traveling the messenger bag can give you the look of chicness without the “I’m trying too hard” stamped on your forehead. Best of all, they’re affordable! So next time you’re lugging around that giant bag of yours with who knows what inside, try the messenger bag.
