The Post of Bumbags

They have been around lately for a couple of years, after being very popular in the 1980s, but now they are out in full force. I am talking about bumbags, or bum bags, that little  pouch that you strap above your waist and it is so handy when you are at a festival or travelling because you can keep your most important essentials ready for you, but also when you are out and about. Now bumbags are a complement to our outfits, so that you can store money, keys and mobile and have a tote bag for your gadgets, umbrella and everything else. Every designer and high street chain have put something nice on the market and I have picked a nice selection for you.

This red metallic leather bumbag by Bimba Y Lola is gorgeous with its bright colour, a metallic detachable chain and zip details. Perfect for dancing the night away in a club without having to care for your handbag, it also available in gold or silver. www.bimbaylola.com

*Pre-Order*  This Happy Belt Bag is by Hill & Friends and it is made of calf leather with foil embossed logo and adjustable belt. The material is very soft and silky and its blush colour can match any outfit. It will be available in Mid October, but you can pre order it so that you can have it as soon as it will land in store.  www.hillandfriends.com

I love Andy Warhol and I find all of the collaborations so right  for both the brands and the Foundation.

I love when fashion and sustainability meet, because it means that something is happening that will help our Planet. Tumi has created a capsule collection of luggage and accessories made with polyester taken from recycled plastic bottles and recycled nylon. The Kelley Sling Alpha Bravo  has got zipped pockets and a quick access back pocket with hidden magnetic strap. By purchasing one of the items from the recycled capsule collection, Tumi will donate 1% of the sales to Waves 4 Water. www.uk.tumi.com

 Denim is timeless so investing in a Valentino  Denim VLogo Belt Bag will give you an accessory that will be always on trend. It is made of dark denim with leather detailed logo and zip pullers and palladium - finish hardware.

This bumbag is another example of sustainable  and eco conscious fashion. From the capsule collection with Shepers Bosman and Pinqponq we have this example made using scrap of fabrics from the Pinqponq production. As you can see there are different materials sewn together for a patchwork effect. All the scraps of fabric are made of 100% recycled plastic bottles making the bumbag water resistant too. www.pinqponq.com
