  Fanny packs are back in Germany for a few years now, but nobody wears them like a fanny pack, they were them across the chest.

    Aren’t those crossbodies then? Uniqlo has a really popular line of them, and they’re pretty if you don’t need to carry that much

      It’s an evolution of the fanny pack.

    I wear one like that in New Zealand and nobody seems to think it’s weird or anything, or maybe they just don’t care cos I’m old now 😅

    I sometimes move it to around my waist if I need to take my jacket/jumper off, or if my shoulder gets sore from the slight extra weight, or to wear it with a backpack as well.

    I used to use a satchel but found it’s often a bit too bulky and makes my shoulder sore sometimes, however I’m finding the fanny pack is a bit too small, hence adding a backpack.

    I’ve never been to Germany, but… I am glad that at least somebody, some people agree with me.

    I’ve worn a fanny pack like that before, like a very small messenger bag… it was a social faux pas, for some reason, despite being incredibly practical.

      Oh, I have a laptop bag that reminds me of a messenger pack. I carry it around my shoulder, pretty neat for my S10 FE+

  Unless you have pockets with zippers, fanny packs are great for riding roller coasters if you’re only carrying a fanny pack’s worth of things. Especially one that can sit unnoticed under your shirt, since staff will sometimes make you take it off if it’s obvious.
