Sac banana to wear at the waist or as a shoulder bag
The bum bag is worn at the waist or across the chest, like a shoulder bag. Compact, it keeps your phone, keys, cards and headphones within reach, leaving your hands free, whether you're in town, at a festival or travelling.
A crossbody bum bag replaces a small hand bag for going out light.
How to wear a bum bag?
At the waist, just like at the start, it adjusts around the hips and stays flat at the front or on the side. Across the torso, the bum bag worn crossbody slings over one shoulder and sits on the chest or back: this is the most common way today, in the city as well as when travelling. Just lengthen or shorten the strap.
What size bum bag to choose?
A compact model holds a phone, cards, keys and a lip balm. A larger bum bag, with several pockets, can also carry a wallet, sunglasses or a small water bottle. Before choosing, check that your phone fits in the main pocket. A zipped back pocket, against the body, keeps what needs to stay safe.
Why choose a bum bag?
It keeps your hands free and your belongings close to you: a plus in crowds, on transport, at concerts or while travelling. Lighter than a handbag, it forces you to only take the essentials. It can also slip into a larger bag to act as a pouch.
Canvas, nylon or synthetic leather?
Canvas and nylon are lightweight, durable and easy to clean: these are the materials for everyday and travel bum bags. Synthetic leather gives a more dressed-up look, to wear with a coat or jacket in the city.
What to wear with a bum bag?
Worn crossbody over a sweatshirt, t-shirt or denim jacket, it has a streetwear vibe. Over a long coat, it accentuates the silhouette like a belt. A black bum bag goes with everything; a bright colour becomes the focal point of the outfit. When travelling, worn under an open jacket, it is more discreet.
How to maintain a bum bag?
Empty it and shake it out regularly: crumbs and dust accumulate in the bottom of the pockets. A damp sponge and a bit of soap are enough on canvas and nylon. Let it air dry, pockets open. Avoid tightening the strap too much, as it wears out the buckle.
What other bags to pair with?
To carry heavier items, the backpack; for the evening, the pouch. Two other small and large bags to alternate.
