Designer Belt Bags

For those of us who remember the original iteration of the 1980s fanny pack, seeing them embraced by luxury brands as inspiration for designer belt bags came as a surprise. Then, surprise quickly yielded to desire. Also called a designer bum bag, luxury belt bags should be worn with the pouch at the front and off-center as a stylish accessory with contemporary appeal. It’s a casual look that can be elevated by the specific waist bag and ensemble combination. For an edgier look, wear it like a shorter-strapped crossbody bag over one shoulder, with the pouch sitting just above or below the bust. But the best part? Hands-free convenience and a fashionable accessory to tie your look together — it’s a win-win with flair!

Many of the top names in fashion offer designer waist bags. Hermès, Chanel, and other luxury bag designers like Louis Vuitton, Christina Dior, Fendi, and The Row have created stunning interpretations of the humble fanny pack, infusing their styles with sophistication and panache.

Designer Waist Bags For Sale 

Luxury belt bags are sometimes crafted like designer fanny packs — the original shape of the 1980s bags rendered in premium materials and leathers. These can offer a retro vibe to your look, while others, like a rainbow ombre lambskin number from Chanel, add a whimsical wink. However, other styles embrace the luxury belt bag as a new style all its own. We see adorable mini bags with decorative chain straps worn like a belt as a fashion statement. Others are crafted as highly versatile handbags that can be worn in several configurations, including as a waist bag.

Once purely utilitarian and appropriate only for very casual outings, designer belt bags have elevated the fanny pack to a chic, modern accessory for most occasions.
