With grocery runs being the most essential of activities of late (and the only reason you should be stepping out anyway), wanting a bag that’s fuss-free and easy to wear would be key. You want to wear it tight and close to your body (you don’t it swinging around and picking up you-know-what), you want it to hold your bare essentials (cards, cash, keys, you know), and you might (or might not) still want to look good while doing it.

And if you feel like that’s missing from your closet, here’s a great selection which you can consider. From the super affordable to the indulgent splurge, the choice is ultimately yours. And it is pretty diverse too, starting from the basic fanny pack from Patagonia and leading up to THE bumbag from Louis Vuitton. Also, all 5 designs can be easily slung across the body (or worn at the chest for the bum bags), which is the whole point of this post to begin with.

On MRPORTER you’ll find the Jacquemus La Banane Belt Bag (SGD408), a new addition from his Spring-Summer 2020 collection. Then there’s the Ultralight Belt Bag from Patagonia, which is a total steal at just SGD55, for that bright mix of colours on a solid nylon body.

The next three designs can be found in the ladies section of the respective luxury brands, but frankly they are as unisex as it gets. Burberry’s Small Horseferry Crossbody Bag (SGD1450) opens via a row of studs, revealing a spacious compartment fashioned with an additional zip pocket to keep you organised.

Loewe’s Heel Bag (SGD1250) is a full-fledged version of the brand’s popular lanyard/pouch, coming in an easy-to-use format that opens via the magnetic closure right in front. The bag’s furnished with 3 card slots to save you the need for carrying a wallet, and will come in 4 colours comprising Black, Tan, Vermillion and Yellow. Last but not least, Louis Vuitton’s hot-selling Bumbag (SGD2210) which recently restocked online, one that measures 37 cm by 14 cm, making it the biggest of the lot. Aside from Monogram Canvas, the Bumbag also comes in Monogram Empreinte, the latter priced a tad higher at SGD2650.

Steal? Or splurge? You decide, but stay safe as well.
