Handbags

Is this what we used to call "fanny packs"?

Am I the only one that thinks it looks ridiculous to carry these belt bags across the chest?

I am larger busted and I would look absolutely awful!

@4kitties I'm a bit on the larger side too and wouldn't feel comfortable wearing the bag like that.

I wouldn't even use it if someone gifted it to me. Too small to even be practical. It is an unattractive style, but they seem to be selling well.

I've seen them on teenagers & they look ok. Totally looks ridiculous on women, unflattering on where they hit & accessing it isn't convenient or comfortable.

A solid no for me too---- not enough room and what's with wearing it nearly under your armpit? That is as dumb as the stupid front tuck thing??? Just my opinion--of course...

I guess I am in the minority but I like a "fanny pack". I agree, I don't like the cross body version. But, the bag is actually too big for me. I walk for about 2 hours at a time and like to carry my phone and  keys and some cash, this one is just too large for that. 

I'm still on the lookout for the perfect size "fanny pack" but this will be a pass due to size. Well, the price was a little too high as well.

Patricia Nash will have a show soon . I'm holding out for that deal and it will be on at a decent time. They're

hitting all the brands, you notice.

First it was Dooney, now it's that Amy K, my girl is up next. Yay !

I don't like pants with pockets, so I do use a "fanny pack" bag.  I have a bunch of them - and believe it or not - I have received positive feed back from other (mostly younger) women.

When all I need is my keys and cards .... these bags hands-free and convenient.

I never thought about using it cross-body.  Definitely will give it a try.

 Agree with you maybe  for teenagers think it would make a nice holiday gift or even  young  mothers having their  hands full holding their children's hands but cannot see older women wearing this, that is why I think the Q is trying to get a younger audience with items like this.

@cjm61 I agree!  Sometimes (often!) hands free is wonderful!  No straps, nothing to slip off, just walk without a burden!
