Embrace the nostalgia and convenience on International Fanny Pack Day - let's bring back the 90s in style!
Get ready to retro-rock your favorite hip accessory on International Fanny Pack Day this March 9! Fanny packs, also known as bum bags or waist packs, were a fashion staple in the fabulous late 80s and early 90s. They are making quite a comeback these days and we are here for it! This incredibly practical and brilliantly simple accessory was invented by an Australian woman named Melba Stone in 1962. Since then, fanny packs have seen a roller coaster of popularity - from being a must-have item, to a fashion taboo, and now making their big-time comeback as a fashion-forward accessory. So, dust off your bright neon fanny pack from the back of your closet and wear it with pride for International Fanny Pack Day! We're excited to reminisce about the good old days and embrace the revival of this handy and useful hip bag. Let's snap those buckles and bring the 90s back in style!
