GUCCI’S BELT BAG: A FANNY PACK THAT’S ALSO A BELT + A BAG

The revival of the “distasteful” bump bag is not new, and we have seen (and worn) the original and its many incarnations.

The revival of the “distasteful” bump bag is not new, and we have seen (and worn) the original and its many incarnations.

But this version – a belt and a zippered pouch – like so many retro reboots from the wicked mind of Alessandro Michele, is nothing short of “someone finally got it right”. When the two are combined, they become a fanny pack that sits just above your hips, around your waist or over your shoulder.

Priced at $1,450, in the colours you see here – black, and a dusty-pink nude.

The Shiny

The warmer weather will leave you choosing either to dress down or dress light. This is where sparkling accessories, like the ones here from Jimmy Choo, become the gobetween for both: make casual look less casual, and dressy, dressier.
