They keep your hands free and are fashionably current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138711 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:01:32 +0000 yublocka 138711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was given a bum-bag in the 90s and didn't like it then. Maybe because I have no waist. Ugh anyway I'm still not a fan sorry!! If you find one that you love please post pics and try to convert me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138672 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 07:44:40 +0000 Louise 138672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Annagbe i can't wait to see your coach one<br /> bella- love carrie's designer one though i bet she'd make a flourescent pink one work!!<br /> San and Tanya thanks for the reality check<br /> cciele- those are real statement pieces x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138660 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 04:23:28 +0000 cciele 138660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I think you should keep yours for gearish-type uses, Louise.</p> <p>I have to admit, I actually have two fanny packs that I wear occasionally (sometimes it's really good to be hands free with two kids). They aren't the traditional fanny packs though. One's a Tokidoki canguro:<br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-LeSportsac-TOKIDOKI-FORESTA-CANGURO-BELT-Bag-Sandy_W0QQitemZ380213494224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item58867d81d0" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-LeSpor.....58867d81d0</a><br /> (I can't believe how much they're selling that for; makes me want to put mine up!)</p> <p>And the other is a Hayden-Harnett Pompidou (mine is purple):<br /> <a href="http://haydenharnett.com/index.cgi?action=detail&#038;style=POMPIDOUIND" rel="nofollow">http://haydenharnett.com/index.....OMPIDOUIND</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138575 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:00:39 +0000 Tanya 138575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with what the others have already said- looks to much like gear. But I am sure some cute ones will appear soon if they are trending again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138558 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 22:03:56 +0000 Anonymous 138558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo now that one is cute Bella.<br /> I am still burned out on the regular ones from last time around. The only time I used one was for going to Vegas when I needed hands free and safe keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138551 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 21:50:07 +0000 bella 138551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a soft spot for fanny packs since Carrie Bradshaw wore a Gucci one many many times during the fourth season of SATC. </p> <p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aqDXNO5K5M0/SEOJZRWRg5I/AAAAAAAAAOA/Pwy0Hzu9J6E/s400/carriebradshaw+fannypack.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aqDX.....nypack.jpg</a></p> <p>But this one looks too much like gear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138544 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 21:06:40 +0000 annagybe 138544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I inherited a black leather one from Coach. Maybe I'll try the look when the weather warms up, ie when I don't have to wear a coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138535 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 19:44:05 +0000 Louise 138535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your honesty and keeping me from a fashion fate worse than death!!! Maya i did try the look last summer but alas the one i tried was WAY too big. I'll ditch this one and keep looking x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138529 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:51:50 +0000 Maya 138529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the others. Too gear-like. Though I seem to remember you getting a more fashion-y one at some point? Or trying to get the look to work at least. </p> <p>I think I've got enough of a tummy pouch as it is, so no thanks. I'm finding it rather unflattering even on the slender, flat-tummied model. Makes her look like she's got a leather beer gut with spikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138527 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:31:21 +0000 marianna 138527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the one you have looks too much like gear and that will be hard to disguise. I wouldn't put any effort into sprucing it up, honestly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138525 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:26:23 +0000 Dusty 138525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd scrap that one and wait until they come out in the stores. I really kind of doubt the look will ever really take off - it's just too much "old lady tourist," ya know, but if they do, I think it'd be in leather or something, not nylon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138522 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 17:47:55 +0000 Dashrashi 138522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen these a couple of times, and I think the only way they look current is if they are in a more structured style and/or a more...I don't know, grown-up material (like leather or pleather). I don't see the nylon, less structured ones coming back as fashion and not gear. On the other hand, I don't even love the look in a structured leather style, so maybe I'm not the intended audience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-or-just-plain-naff#post-138516 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:58:09 +0000 Louise 138516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumbags, fannypacks call them what you will they've always been see as a bit, well naff! I do however have a soft spot for them and i note that they have been seen on the catwalks thanks to Marc Jacobs. Supposedly M &amp; S are bringing one out in May <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6999133.ece" rel="nofollow">http://www.timesonline.co.uk/t.....999133.ece</a> till then i dug out this <a href="http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt22/loulou4022/YLF/Questions/Moonbag/001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i594.photobucket.com/al.....ag/001.jpg</a> old 'gear' one from my 'hiking' phase which like the bumbag lasted 1 weekend!!! As is it's a bit rubbish but i have a vision of customising it- perhaps some sort of patch over the label perhaps sequins or biker? and some leather tasselly zip pulls? Any ideas or should i just wait till they come into the shops or should i take a reality check and stop having such ridiculous thoughts??!!
