Fanny Pack

HISTORY 

 

 

A fanny pack (American English) or bum bag (British English) is a small fabric pouch usually secured with a zipper and worn by use of a strap around the hips or waist. The American and British names derive from the fact that they are often worn with the pouch above the buttocks, for which "fanny" and "bum" are the slang terms in each country respectively, although they may also be worn with the pouch at the front, when the British meaning of the word "fanny" is correct.

The modern version made from synthetic materials came into use in the 1980s and they were especially in vogue in the 1990s, but are now often considered old-fashioned. Their use was satirized by the American humorist Weird Al yankovic in his song White & Nerdy.

In 2012, calling them "belted satchels" or "hands-free bags", several designer labels sought to bring the accessory back by offering stylish and expensive designs selling for as much as $1995.

In other cultures they are known as belly bags (in Germany) and banana bags (in France). Variations include the wrist pack, which is essentially a fanny pack for the wrist.(Wikipedia ).

Nowadays fanny packs are actually quite stylish and cool, almost if not every one is wearing them. You can style the Fanny pack or bum bag with any cloth u can think of...look at the images above as they are.
