Fanny Packs

Remember clicking one of these around your waist before heading out for the day? That satisfying snap of the buckle, the soft rustle of nylon as you reached for a stick of gum, a few crumpled bills, or maybe a disposable camera. Before backpacks shrank and purses had zippers for everything, this was your hands-free hero. It went with you to theme parks, flea markets, and family hikes. Whether you wore it front and center or casually off to the side, it kept your essentials close—no pockets required. Still have one stashed in a drawer or hanging on a hook by the door? Snap a photo and share it with us—or start a new thread and take us on a tour of your on-the-go time capsule in our forum!

I still have my first fanny pack made from old blue jeans! Love it! It’s perfect for me and I can keep my cell phone dry and at the tip of my fingers. It holds my lip moisturizer. Sunglasses in the summer too. What’s no to like? 👍🏼
