Trends come and go. And frequently, those trends come back again.
Such is the case with the fanny pack. After becoming ubiquitous in the 80s and 90s, these convenient, fun bags went from being everywhere to falling out of favor. And then they came back into vogue, but with a twist. Today, the trend is toward custom sling bags that can be worn around the waist or across the body. It’s a fashion-forward accessory you’ll want to wrap your brand in.
A short history of the fanny pack
Although we might think of the fanny pack as a fashion from the last century, its history goes back much further. The first documented fanny pack was a leather belt and a pouch for tools. It belonged to Ötzi, a man who lived between 3400 and 3100 BC. The accessory evolved over centuries until the 1980s, when the fanny pack became a hot fashion item. The accessory became so popular that Adweek® declared it the hottest product of the year in 1988.
Today’s fanny pack
Today, fanny packs are back in a big way—they currently make up 25 percent of accessory sales growth. They’ve been spotted on the fashion runway and worn by stars like Kendell Jenner. Many styles have lost their front zippers and synthetic material and instead resemble purses made from luxurious materials. This updated look is just one reason the fanny pack is back. Fans of this accessory also appreciate its gender-neutrality and convenience.
It’s what makes the promotional waist bag a fun, fashionable choice for sharing your brand.
