the LV you posted is a really bad fake, as are all on ioffer (not the same as ebay). i don’t think they ever made that, it just looks like the gucci fannypack but in lv material. also, fannypacks are gross

no, no, no. there is nothing THAT important that you need to have secured around your waist. (unless its the arm of a loved one). seriously just say no. i’ve seen the fanny pack trying to creep back in but i’m hoping people shun it because its really ugly and does nothing for anyone’s body type. not even twiggy back in the day or kate moss back in the day could pull it off!

There’s a load of those lesportsac/tokidoki fannypacks on ebay. I don’t know who wears them, but they seem popular enough.

i have lately been thinking of getting one, too. i thought it looked fab on carrie bradshaw and i don’t understand what’s so ‘gross’ about them but they certainly get a bad rap! i think part of my motivation in wanting one is just to, like, sarotirally piss people off.

when i was in budapest last summer, there were bunches of booths at concerts selling cute little diy fanny packs. should’ve gotten one then but i didn’t think they’d be making a comeback over here.
