It just doesn't look very functional to me. Maybe if it had a top or back opening, as well. I just feel it would be cumbersome to lift the flap and put stuff in it, especially considering the stiffness of the canvas.

I agree. I was a fanny pack user back in the day. I had a few but the only ones that seemed to work had a zipper that was secure but accessible from the top or front. Basically you unzipped, reached in and you could grab what you need and then quickly zip things back up. Otherwise you just couldn’t get into the bag.

I visited Prada today, they are in stock, and apparently also selling fast. I think I spot a trend...

After the last fanny pack cycle died down, I put mine aside but missed them terribly. Now the trend is back. This is the one I’ve got my eyes on. All leather. Nice hardware. Two zippers. Zips on top and in the front. $965.

HL17, it is very nice in person. The new LV looks beautiful (not the one posted a few posts ago with that huge bum on a bum) but I have worries. What would I use the fanny pack/belt bag for...spring and summer out and about going to art festivals, traveling, etc. I would be most likely wearing some form of jeans and if my hands were free, carrying an iced tea, etc. in my hand. And during summer, most likely I would be sweating. So now I have a recipe for a vachetta disaster with that gorgeous LV bag. Color transfer, water stains, etc. I would be heartbroken on that first inevitable water stain. This Prada one is on preorder for pink and white for spring on the BG site. But the black makes the most sense to me. When talking to the SA at Prada yesterday she said the leather was treated. All in all this one makes the most sense for me. It is not to say I do not love the LV one. I just know I would mess it up the first day I wore it.
 
This bag is either a love or hate relationship. Personally it’s love for me. I recently tried to get a look at the LV bum bag, but the store did not have it. I was hoping to take a look at it before making my decision on Gucci belt bag. But when I saw that Gucci came out with a bigger version of the belt bag, I snagged it.

I will be able to use it as a clutch or a small bag in a bigger bag when the trend is over. At least that’s the justification I am using. Lol...
