The fanny pack, also known as a waist bag or bum bag, has made a fashion comeback in recent years. Even before then, fanny packs were always extremely popular. Sure, most traditional bum bags have a geeky feel to them, but they are a practical bag solution for when one is on the move and also needs their hands to be free. Luckily, the fact that fanny packs are a big trend at the moment means that there are loads of options to choose from. We’ve gathered a list of the best fanny packs out there with a mix of practical, stylish, high-street and luxury options.

Michael Kors Fanny Pack

Michael Kors offers a good range of waist bags, and we especially love the Peyton belt bag which features a quilted finish and polished silver hardware. This Michael Kors fanny pack is extremely versatile and can also be hand carried via the adjustable strap or across the body. It features a zip fastening, a back slip pocket on the inside and a back zip pocket on the outside.
The Clear Fanny Pack
Price: $12 / €10.50
We’re not quite sure why, but clear fanny packs are insanely popular. They are often made out of PVC or similar plastic materials, which makes them waterproof and ideal for any aqua related activities you might have planned. If you require a plastic, clear fanny pack, you can up your fashion game with our favourite pick – this holographic fanny pack from Etsy .
If you’re going for a more sporty look that is still cute, we also love this clear waist pack from Adidas.

The Louis Vuitton fanny pack is as on-trend as it gets with its LV monogram canvas and gold hardware detail. It has one main compartment on the inside and an exterior pocket at the back. Even though it is a permanent part of the Louis Vuitton collection, it sells out very quickly and is often re-sold at much higher prices.

There are also some very hip, leather printed styles and plenty of older, pre-loved versions which are no longer produced.
