Yes, so easy and comfortable. I've used the same fancy pack like that on park trips and all sorts of outings. In Lapland last summer I carried my trekking fancy pack the same way and I loved it, it was so easy to get to my water bottles, snacks etc.
What's in your bag?

wow i like this look!! the bag looks big! i normally dont like logos either - and thats why i was never into LV - but since nicholas ghesquiere's move into lv, he's made the logos so much palatable on some items, and i ventured into my first piece last summer. im a bal girl deep down because of him, and now i might be switching!Anyone who knows me, knows I hate visible branding. I seriously do not like visible logos. I don't like large logos. But I LOVE that bag! The colors really make it so that the logos are more like a pattern on the canvas rather than a brand logo.
To fancy pack land it is!
I love my Miomojo Luca, which is made of recycled coffee ground fibre and fishing nets. I'm going to pack her up tomorrow to take her with me for my weekend shenanigans.
Here is a picture I blatantly stole off of internets.

Here's what I carried the few times I left home this week; M Antony in Mustard, glossy goat. This is bordering on vintage and still going strong. It's one of those bags that carries a ton but still looks reasonably small compared to the mountain of stuff it can carry.

Here's what's inside
in the front pocket:
iPhone 6S
napkins
hand sanitizer
extra mask
in the main compartment:
umbrella
Moleskine calendar&pen
Furla Bi-Fold wallet (in my favorite color, Smeraldo)
LV 6 key holder DG
random hairclip
Folding Wayfarers
tissue
MJ bunny pouch with a million gazillion gadgets and necessities (manicure set, nail file, measuring tape, charger chord, TinyMate earphones, bandaids, disinfectant wipes etc)
I could have easily fit in a 250ml water bottle, or a thin scarf or gloves.

nice! is this a mulberry?
Okay, this is borderline crazy. I put all of the stuff I had in the Ant into my Miomojo Luca fancy pack. They_actually_fit.
I can still carry it crossbody, although the large items make it a bit bulky so it's not so comfy to carry on my chest but on the back or under my arm it's totally doable.

whoa!!!! it is big!! i cant decide on a fancypack to be honest - i feel like these things willl look dated in two years so i dont want to spend a lot of money on it. i like the look and colour of this one, but the logo is so big and the material looks cheap

That Puma fancy pack looks pretty and I do like the color as well, but the logo takes away from the bag IMO. It would look more wearable with a smaller logo.
I'm still thinking about that beige fancy pack @missconvy showed us. That material looks really nice and the logo wasn't so visible.
That was a Mulberry, from the good ol' days when the leathers and craftsmanship was just amazing. I love old Mulberry, and Antony is my first leather M I ever bought. I don't think I'm ever going to sell him. He's been with me on adventure walks, treks to the forest and urban jungle, and everywhere else. The love is deep!
The one in the pic is light pink. They don’t sell it anymore but I found a rust colored one preowned (not my listing) https://poshmark.com/listing/JOY-LAB-Adjustable-Fanny-Pack-Belt-Bag-Rust-OS-6079e5a960fdedbe912065d0I'm still thinking about that beige fancy pack @missconvy showed us.

I have a beige North Face one that I also like. It’s quite a bit bigger than the pink one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NWKZWY3/ref=twister_B07RGZH9D4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I'm having trouble finding one I really want. I like the ones where you can wear it two ways to future proof the loss of trendiness but those ones are so tiny! I haven't found a good northface one on this side of the European pondI actually thought of North Face when I read @platinum_babie s comment.
If you're where Zalando ships, they have loads of nice ones. There was also a pink North Face one!I'm having trouble finding one I really want.

Today I went and tortured myself with massage. Along came Coach Nolita 19 in Grey and GM HW. I carried her as a crossbody with a long strap. I wish people would see this as a bag - it just gets lost in the jungle SLG but it's actually great as a clutch, wristlet or crossbody.
I managed to fit in the essentials;
iPhone 6S
LV 6 key holder DG
ID, debit card, insurance card
hair tie
bandaids (wore new shoes, OUCH)
extra mask, disinfectant tissue
earphones
hand sanitizer traveled on the outside

Fjallraven sling from yesterday 
I bought a MK wallet (light berry sorbet/gold), a new notebook (blue instead of red, but the same style/size), and I was inspired by a poster to start using my LeSportSac cosmetic bag again as my essentials bag. I also replaced my orange disposable mask holder, with a pink one. And I included my mask, clipa, reusable bag, water bottle (I always have a water bottle with me when I walk), and from my back outside zipper pocket I included my French Lavender pocketbac and EMU hand sanitizer spray. I try to carry the same bag for months if it's working out for me, so I don't know when I'll switch bags again. (I've only been carrying this bag since May 3rd but it's working well so far!) The contents is usually what changes. I keep my wallet hooked to the key leash or a chain if there is no key leash. In MK bags the key leash is on the left side and it's easier to grab it on the right side (Dooney bags) so I'm using a chain hooked around a strap.
Okay so I have been away for a little while because I was on ban island for May and this forum is so tempting.
Well, as soon as June hit, I went a little crazy and fulfilled my need for a fancy pack with two fancypacks. And then, of course, with these little bags, must then get a small SLG.
I decided to go with a Kipling abanou multi for my first fancy pack, because it can be used as a waist bag, but you can hide the waist band in the back and either use it as a pouch or it comes with a longer strap to be used as a little crossbody, y'know, for when the fancy pack trend becomes dated. For fabric, I wanted something not boring and couldn't decide if I wanted bright or pattern. When I made my choice and it arrived, I really thought about returning it because I didn't love the pattern worn.
But I took it out for a spin today while grocery shopping and I completely changed my mind. First off, I love how lightweight it is and has so many different pockets. I couldn't get it to fit my umbrella, but I could fit sunglasses in case, my phone, my coach skinny Id + keys, and my new to me zippy coin purse in epi piment (sidebar: I am now addicted to zcp and need to get more.) I love this fancypack trend because my wallet, cell phone, and keys are so accessible and I feel it so safe against me.
The downside with this bag is that when it slings across the body, it's not easy to get it to be fully tapered and will droop a little. The other problem that worries me, since I live in Paris, is how easy someone can unsnap the bag from the back and run with it.
I'm happy to report though, that my new to me coach x selena Gomez black leather fancypack had arrived this morning so I am now trying to see how much more it can fit than the little Kipling. Sadly, it actually fits less due to how structured it is. I can barely get my wallet, key pouch, and my phone to fit in the front pouch, but I think the phone will sit in the back slot anyway. As I was stuffing the items in, I was thinking, well...time for a even more compact SLG (any recommendations? I want to diversify my brand ownership, and I'm partial to luxury brands save coach for slgs). Anyway, this bag sits a lot more tapered when slung across the body and I'm still happy with it. Too bad neither bags are bright coloured so I may still be on the hunt
It's a loose fit without the phone but there is probably only enough room left for a small bottle of sunscreen/hand cream and maybe lipstick/gloss
And what's up with just the few of us on this thread? I honestly thought this thread would be more popular haha

@platinum_babie both are cute!
I had a Samsonite umbrella earlier, and it was so compact I could fit it in just about any bag.
One bag just came to mind, but you'd have to find it 2nd hand - Rebecca Minkoff Bree. It's a bit wider (30 cm) so it can probably fit more than the Coach and there's no clasp at the back so it's not that easy to steal.

Ooh you're a wealth of bag information! I want a bright yellow one but I can only find a white one in Europe. I will be on the look out! I love having something to hunt for
Aawww thank you. Bree's just a bag I recently noticed. It's really pretty and it has come in a large array of colors.Ooh you're a wealth of bag information! I want a bright yellow one but I can only find a white one in Europe. I will be on the look out! I love having something to hunt for
