"People have more than one mobile phone now. That’s why the bag has two compartments, for two of them."
"This pocket is ideal for frequently used cards."
There’s tool-belt inspiration. There’s also a nod to Helmut Lang-esque ’90s minimalism. What is clearly not there: the “ugly-cool” factor; the kitsch, sporty or street association; a gazillion logos or embellishments; and being too basic, too pretty, too trendy – everything that has plagued most designer bumbags. The Fendi Belt Bag comes in two colours, in calfskin, from $1,850. - RT

"The bag covers the waist when it’s a waist pouch, and the chest when it’s used as a cross-body."
