Whoever says ‘you can have too much of a good thing’ evidently hasn’t experienced the pile-high potential of spring’s bumbag revival. (No, you’re not imagining things; the '90s mainstay is back… in a seriously big way!)

Delivering a masterclass in image U-turns, ‘fanny packs’ (for our pals across the pond) are quickly becoming the season’s ubiquitous accessories  cinching waists and perching on the hips of every style maven worth her salt.

In fact, so far removed are these new incarnations from the kind our Dads once toted during seaside excursions, that we’re stockpiling several to mix-and-match as the occasion demands. 

Basically, if you’ve been hankering after a pick-me-up that nails an unlikely brief of practicality and style, then buckle/belt up… the job’s a good’un!
