Back at home, a Google search revealed that the correct term for the accessory is now 'belt bag' or 'waist bag', but it's still the same thing with a different name.
Years ago I had several fanny packs. Eventually I got rid of all of them but one, an orange and black nylon model with two zippered compartments-the large main section and another thin one on top. It comes in handy to hold my cell phone when I do yard work.
I'm rarely on the cutting edge of fashion, but if I wear my fanny pack out in public I guess I would be.

I love them, hope they are back.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat the convenience of carrying things hands-free.
DeleteAnd just recently I read a snide "How 80's" remark about fanny packs.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe this new trend isn't everyone's cup of tea?
DeleteI love my fanny pack and use it when I go walking. I understand it's not called a fanny pack in England because "fanny" in England is the other end of a woman's body.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how each area of the world puts its own spin on ideas and phrases.
DeleteHmmmm ... that's what I thought when you called it fanny pack.
DeleteGod bless.
Victor, I hope you weren't offended.
DeleteMoi? Offended? Mais non ... pas du tout!
DeleteGod bless.
I enjoyed your post, it brought some fun memories of wearing my own fanny pack back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI've thought about it recently when I took Grandson to the park and I had to figure out how to have my id and car keys handy without carrying my purse.
I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!
Anything that lets you carry your things hands (and purse) free is great to have!
DeleteWhy haven't I ever thought of using my FANNY PACK (lol) to hold my cellphone while I work in the gardens?! You are so smart, Kathy! Now to figure out which storage tub it's in.... :D
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings to you! ♥
I still have one of those 80's fanny packs. I knew it would come around again! Now I can wear it with fashion pride!
