I know what you're thinking. "Those are fanny packs, and I'm having nothing to do with them." But hold on!
These new designs are much more stylish than ones from the past. Not only that, but they are just so practical; they keep your hands free for riding a bike or shopping, and your valuables securely held close to your body.
Just don't even think of hauling out your old zippered nylon jobby from the 80's. The latest styles are now jazzed up with buckles and studs and made from materials like organic leather and denim.
