Haven't you noticed how incredibly expensive these vinyl " Vegan Leather " bags have become . They no longer have competion with those other 2 brands Adhorned and Charley Was Here .

IHKWIP bags begin $69 and go up $89 and on

That looks like a fanny pack from the 80's or 90's.

@SaveTheTurtles I thought the same thing! Fanny pack!

If I was graduating I don't think I would want a Fanny pack of vegan aka fake leather.

That used to be called a fanny pack. Belt bag, hah!

The first time I went to Vegas with my siblings, my brother scoffed at my fanny pack. "What," I said, "I'm hands-free and I won't leave my wallet anywhere." Later, while we're walking on the Strip in the broiling sun, he says, "Hey, can you hold this?" "Oh, so you like the fanny pack now." 😄

Yes, these sling 'waist bags,' do look like fanny packs. And, they do have their value, even if a blast from the past.

I have one similar and use it every day. I have to have hands free when walking my 93lb dog, but also need a place for my ID, keys, phone, poo bags, treats and pepper spray -- just in case.

Never know what we'll run into. All this just for a hike, or walk. These bags are a necessity for me, and for many others for certain outings, or tasks.

Oh, good grief ~ that's ridiculous and I would never pay that much.

Actually, most grads are going to want the Lululemon belt bag, and they're worn like this. They start at $38, I believe.

They don't try to market it as fake/vegan leather. It's nylon, thus easy to wipe clean.

My 11 year old granddaughter has that lululemon bag and wears it that way. Looked so strange to me wearing it like that but it's a fad now.I imagine most high school grads already have several!

Agree, @Catch71 . But if someone were insistent on purchasing one for a graduation gift, this would be the brand to buy.

I still have my beautiful soft black leather fanny pack from years ago.

I don't need a plastic fabric one. It's so funny to me how at one time, the younger folks laughed at these fanny packs and at people who wore them.

But, now they got a new name and are worn across the body and are so fresh and young. How exciting!!!!

You are so right! Sadly, teenagers go by brand names and IHKWIP is not one they are following. Qvc watchers know this brand well but my teenage grands probably never heard of it. Sounds ungrateful, but that is just how it is today thanks to influencers.
