Anyone else OBSESSED with the Gucci GG Marmont belt bag? If Instagram has told me anything it’s that amazingly, modernized fanny packs with a spanking new name can make a comeback. You bet that I really wanted to get onto this trend but on my budget. Sorry, Gucci.
The endless Internet search began and luckily, I found some from a few of my favorite brands!! The best part – most are 10% or below the big designer price tag. My absolute favorite is the below $50 belt bag by Baublebar. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a well-constructed belt bag from Baublebar. I honestly didn’t know they had other types of accessories. Its beautiful quilted leather design makes it the perfect designer dupe.
Finally, can we talk about how awesome it feels to be completely hands free? Last year, it was all about the mini bag and minimizing what I carry along with me daily. It’s incredibly freeing to be able to move around without worrying about my hair getting caught on the strap of my bag, my bags slipping of my shoulders, or even having one hand dedicated to holding my minuscule bag. It was so convenient to have both hands available while still being able to carry around the necessities.
