Bum bags have been having a resurgence in the catwalks and the fashion pages are now packed with stylish cross body bags that are changing the game when it comes to bringing together fashion and function. Cosmo, Elle and Vogue are extolling the virtues of the fanny pack – and how versatile this purse trend is for being on the go and having everything to hand. Think of bum bags and think cheap nylon? Think again. In 2023, cross body bum bags are designed for busy Mums who love their fashion (and quality) and they are literally game changers when it comes to being stylish on the go…
The Vanessa Bum Bag – all the room of a Hobo with the convenience of cross body
The Vanessa Bum Bag is a gorgeous soft PDM leather bum bag that gives you all of the room of a hobo or a tote bag, with the convenience of the cross body strap for when you need both arms free. As busy Mums on the go, we know how important it is that you can fit in all the essentials – and it is even better when you can keep them organised. Founder and Creative Director Keri Jamieson was adamant that even though the traditional bum bag was just one or maybe two pockets, her designs needed elevating to busy Mum status. “Let’s be honest, we need to find our stuff, and we need to find out stuff quick. People assume that with a bum bag you can’t lose anything, but those precious milliseconds saved from knowing exactly where your lip balm is or having your phone in the same place – it saves your sanity, seriously!”
The Keri Kit Kit Girls completely agree with this sentiment. Sharing candid images of being on the go sporting their cross body belt bags packed with all they need to be a Mum on the go, it is clear that this fashion trend will last well beyond 2023. Available in a range of versatile colours that will perfectly accent any outfit, you can get the softest leather without compromising on your values – and without the couture price tag.
Three ways to style your bum bag for a stylish look
In 2023 versatility and flexibility are key considerations when it comes to bag recommendations, so here are three ways you can style your Keri Kit bum bag for women on the go…
1: As a shoulder bag. The 4cm interchangeable and adjustable strap with the Vanessa bum bag means that you can comfortably style this purse as a shoulder bag without it digging into your shoulders or being too short under your arm. This makes it great for an evening out with the girls as much as a day bag for running between the nursery and for groceries.
2: Across body. We all know there are moments when we need both arms – for a variety of reasons. Airports, shops, the street – heck we have all had that time when we wished we were Inspector Gadget and could conjure up more arms and legs to keep our little ones in tow… Norwich wedding dress shop owner Laura Bartrum is Mum to 4 children and is a busy entrepreneur, and she loves how wearing her Keri-Kit bum bag gives her the opportunity to be “free”. “I literally can just pack everything in and go, without worrying about my bag dropping while I’m trying to herd the kids between swimming lessons and gymnastics. I love how I can wear it to the bridal boutique and still look stylish too. There isn’t a need to constantly change bags, which I don’t have the time to do quite frankly!”
3: Around your tummy. Now bear with us here. You have probably transported yourself to the 80s and have a vision of neon nylon and glow sticks… But in 2023 with soft PDM vegan leather and stylish hardware, the bum bag can be worn around your middle without looking middle-aged. Style with a crisp white t and your favourite Mom jeans and you have a stylish look for on the go, whatever day of the week.
The Murphy Bum Bag for Women – compact style for the ultimate versatility…
If the Vanessa fanny pack is a bit too big and you want something more compact, the Murphy is the ideal choice from the Keri Kit range. What makes the Murphy so perfect for busy Mums in 2023 is that it has loads of room and those perfectly placed pockets to keep everything organised, whilst also being neat to not overwhelm your outfit. What also makes the Murphy great is that you can fit it into your other kit – making it perfect for the airport or travelling, when you need to have your essentials to hand, but need a carry on that’s up for a bigger challenge. Now available in the hottest colour of 2023, digital lavender, you should add the Murphy to your handbag collection if you want a stylish solution for your busy lifestyle…
