Baby Got Back

Bumbag
I had nightmares about bumbags coming back into fashion.  They really should be left to marketstall holders and safety-conscious folks on SAGA holidays. Why a young fashion store like Warehouse are flogging a disgusting quilted version for £16 is beyond me. Even Carrie Bradshaw didn't get away with the bumbag, for crying out loud! And then there's the hilarity and confusion that comes with American name for them - fanny packs. Needless to say, the word 'fanny' refers to a slightly different part of the female anatomy here in Blighty (ironically, one which is much more apt, considering these bags are usually worn at the front, not the back).

    I hope this is just a one-off thing. I have never seen a bum bag (fanny pack..) which I've liked - ever - and this hits a new low. And quilted??? There's nothing else to say, really.

    I don't like those saggy bumps. But I loved the one Samantha SATC had on, a sparkly violet one. It wasn't a real bum bag but a flat one, perfect for the lipgloss! But I can't find one for me.. :(

  • I remember Carrie Bradshaw did wear a fantastic LV Damier belt purse one episode - that I fell in love with! I do think she pulled that one off, but it was quite slim, and didn't really look like a fanny pack.

    Although I'm shocked and disgusted at the thought of bum bags (quilted ones, nontheless!) coming back into fashion - not that I think anyone with half a brain would actually buy it, I'm quite glad because a referance to a fanny pack will always have me in stitches for hours.
