Why We Love Fanny Packs
Fanny packs are back and they're one of 2018’s must-have items. They were spotted all over the runways at New York Fashion Week and in the glossy pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
Everyone is wearing them!

Celebrities love them too. From Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Kim Kardashian West, to Bella Hadid. Even Leonardo DiCaprio was papped wearing one on his recent trip to Thailand.
When you think of fanny packs, you might have flashbacks to the 1980's or your grandparents' retirement community in Florida. But no more! Once a fashion faux pas, the bum bag (as the Brits call them) or the belt bag, is now a cool statement piece. And fanny packs are even more awesome if you're a mom.
Here's why.
The Statement Piece
Vogue Magazine voted it the must-have spring/summer fashion accessory for 2018. Plus, Gucci, Prada and Marc Jacobs all featured them in their Spring 2018 collections.
The Practical Accessory
Its pockets are easily accessible and it's the perfect middle size for days when a backpack is too big and pockets are too small. It's just big enough to fit a diaper, some wipes, your wallet and a snack. Plus, wearing one gives you the ability to wear your baby in a ring sling or carrier at the same time and have your hands completely free all day. Bonus!
Plus, fanny packs come with an adjustable belt you can cinch at the waist. They suit every body shape or size. You can also sling it over your shoulder or wear it cross-body. The belt turns it into the perfect stroller bag too.
The Year-Round Handbag
The award-winning and innovative Tiba + Marl fanny pack is exclusive to Poppys Collection in Canada. It's available in sporty black and sexy silver and can be worn any season of the year.
The Traveller's Best Friend
Fanny packs are also great for travelling. Take yours for a stroll on the beach or a hike up a mountain. It's perfect for any trip!
The Twinning Combo
Fanny packs come in mini sizes too. Perfect for the littles to carry around their own stuff for once!
And that's why we love the fanny pack! You can wear them sporty or glam, or whatever way suits your mood. Just throw one over your shoulder and you're ready to go! Now that's an easy and versatile accessory for any mom. You're welcome.
