Bum bags

Compared to both a backpack and a handbag, a bum bag has numerous advantages. During more active treks, it’s nice that you never carry the weight on your shoulders and that you have all your things within easy reach. Because volume is limited, you also have to make choices. That way, you never take too much with you. And the lighter you can travel, the more comfortable your trek will be.

The biggest advantage compared to a handbag, during a festival or when travelling, for example, is that they are much more theft-proof. You can even wear the smallest ones under your clothing. And for those for whom looks matter: hip packs have once again become a true trend. You can pair them incredibly well with your favourite outfits. A timeless black bag, one with glitter, or in a metallic to fluorescent pink colour: you choose!

You can wear bum bags around your hips, around your waist, or on your back while on hiking and cycling trips. Wear them crossbody, diagonally around your shoulders, at a festival or on a night out. 

What you choose depends entirely on what you’re in the mood for. Just know that if you stuff the hip pack full and wear it around your hips, it may shake or shift against your back. You won’t be as bothered by that if you wear it diagonally across your upper body. But on the other hand, that’s less convenient for exercising because you don’t want it to bounce up into your face. So, how you should wear it really all depends on your plans!
