If you are someone who hesitantly wears fanny packs solely out of necessity's sake or has sworn them off altogether, then you may want to take a look at these boutique fanny packs by LillyMae Bags, which happen to also double as purses. These bags are compact, fit flat against your body, and are a much funner and attractive way to keep your hands free to work out, carry groceries, or hold your little ones' hands.
Since this 6-1/4" x 4" bag has an adjustable strap and also doubles as a cross body bag, I thought it would be the perfect bag for my little girl. I let her pick out the specific style and she chose the "Blue/Green Flower" bag, which is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. This bag has a zip top closure with an additional pocket on one interior wall that is roomy enough for a compact mobile phone and certainly large enough for your driver's license, debit card, or business cards. The bag itself is perfect for an mp3 player, small camera, or a large mobile phone (more than enough room to hold my Samsung Focus). There is a large eyelet for you to run your headphone wires through. The strap also breaks apart for when you opt to use it as a fanny pack.
I need to make it clear that this bag would not work as a fanny pack for a child. At its shortest, the strap measures 31" long. So, if you have an especially slim build, it may be slightly too large for you (luckily, I do not have that problem).
Currently, LillyMae Bags are available in 13 styles and retail for between $16 and $18 at LillyMaeBags.com. For a limited time, you can save 15% off your purchase when you use Code: 15001 at checkout.
