THE FORMAL BUM BAG

So we've had the sporty bum bag and here is the formal bum bag - characterized primarily by the oh-so-sophisticated use of material - namely snakeskin.


I predict the snakeskin / sporty combination as the next big thing in bum bags /fanny packs. They are already fairly dorkus so why not go the whole hog.


Combined with a floral shirt... apparently anything goes.


And all you designers out there- if you are not sure whether you choice in snakeskin is formal enough, just add a bow tie.

DESIGNER BUM BAGS

ITS OFFICIAL! Bum bags are back a la mode. This time its not the touristy geeks with high waisted chinos sporting these practical little hands-free numbers, its the fashionistas!



Marc Jacob's tongue in cheek bum bag labelled "Marc Jackass". A good thing he took the piss out of himself before anyone else got the chance to.


This flatter fanny pack construction is pretty cute. Minimalist graphics and the silver utilitarian zips makes this style pretty nice. I'm still not sure whether i'm a convertee or not but i would give it a whirl depending on my outfit.


These sporty nike bum bags are lots of fun, they are not so "oh my god that person is wearing a bum bag" because sports naturally lend themselves to bum bags, ie running with your ipod / water inside. Sporty people are more typically likely to wear a bum bag so this would be a good place to start.


Now, here is a cute little number. The Chanel quilted bum bag is SO on the money. Its very much in the style of the 2.55 right down to the gold detailing. I don't know whether this is actually real or not. I found it on this cool vintage website called Decades Inc.



I would really love to get my hands on one of these, I love the signature chain waist band with the interwoven leather and the gold detailing. I only wish i could get a closer look at the zip pull.

Bum Bags

I really love these belt bags, a cross between a bum bag, ammunition holder. The leather construction also remind me of workmens belts carried by electricians and plumbers in the olden days.

Bill Amberg 'Gun' pouch

Bill Amberg is all about using amazing materials in simple, elegant constructions and this 'gun' pouch is no exception. Its a beautiful money pouch or 'bum bag' made in great quality cow hyde

I can see it being worn over an oversized t-shirt dress as a belt, a modern day bum bag.
