Fanny packs have become one of the greatest “bag” fashion trends of recent times. They were mostly used in the 1980s, but then greatly popular in the 1990s. Today, they have become one of the hippest accessory trends in fashion. You cannot walk a mall or see a fashion catalog without a fanny pack somewhere in sight. But how did fanny packs become so popular today? Keep reading and find out why.

Fanny packs were originally used by tourists to put their money in and not really about the fashion. Same goes for Japanese labor workers in the 80s who wore fanny packs across their body, which is part of the style we brought back today. It became out of style after the late-1990s. Fast forward a few years and luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel started producing fanny packs because they had the idea to turn things that were out of style back to the forefront of fashion. But they did not become popular immediately. Fashion and streetwear did not become relevant until 2005, when Hypebeast and sneaker culture became popular. It was then when streetwear enthusiasts were looking at the past to bring back retro-styled outfits and accessories and thus the fanny pack became one of them. With the help of luxury brands and the hypebeast streetwear scene, the fanny pack train gained momentum.  Want to hop on the fanny pack train? Here are six places to buy some cool fanny packs.

StockX

Stockx.com is one of the best places to buy cool fanny packs. This site is one of the most popular websites to buy sneakers and clothing. Everything on here is 100% authentic because they are first verified by “legit checkers” which are staff at StockX who know how to identify fakes versus real products which makes the website a safe and secure place to buy authentic fanny packs. StockX has all a wide variety of fanny pack brands such as Supreme, Bape, Kith, and more.

ASOS

ASOS is like the amazon for fast fashion. It is a UK based fashion website where you can buy a fanny pack that fits your style, available for both men and women. They offer hundreds of selections and carry brands like Nike, Adidas, The North Face, and even carry their own branded ASOS fanny packs. ASOS carries minimalistic graphic designs to complex and quirky designs on their fanny packs. There are no retail stores that offer ASOS fanny packs because they are only available as an online retailer at the moment.

Grailed

Grailed.com is a reliable place to buy second-hand clothing, bags, or sneakers.  This makes it a go-to website to buy fanny packs. There are fanny packs from vintage-styled to high-end designer fanny packs on here you can get for a low price. Be sure to check sellers and their reviews to make sure they are legit and reliable.

eBay

Looking for something more affordable but stylish at the same time? ebay has a bunch of sellers from wholesale dealers that sell cheap and cool fanny packs.  Some carry unbranded designs which are good for simple outfits, others are second-hand from sellers. Although I wouldn’t recommend buying high-end or high-costly fanny packs on eBay because you don’t have a way to know if the item is authentic. Nevertheless, this will remain one of the cheapest and best places to buy fanny packs if you’re on a budget.

Local Thrift Shops

Fanny packs are based on the retro and vintage look. Another affordable way and trendy thing people are doing is shopping at thrift shops like Salvation Army, Goodwill, Working Wardrobes, and others to find cool fanny packs. You never know what you can find at these places, but you’re most likely to find cool vintage styled items at one of these locations for a low price including fanny packs.

Zumiez is a retailer like ASOS only their fashion is aimed at a slightly younger demographic. Zumiez is US based and carry brands like Fila, Champion, Nike, and more. This is a skateboard clothing shop, but they carry great amounts of trendy clothing. It makes it a good place to buy fanny packs with its diverse and unique designs.
