![]() Take Jaden Smith’s beloved Louis Vuitton x Supreme fanny pack that he wears everywhere, from the streets to the red carpet. Supreme belt and crossbody bags are a favorite among celebrities. While he’s joked that the pack contained nothing more than pop tarts and condoms, there are plenty of alternatives that have ample space to fit much more, such as this leather bag straight from Firenze and Coach’s Court Belt Bag. So below, we’ve organized the status fannys by tribe.A post shared by therock can’t go wrong with a classic leather fanny pack like the one that made The Rock an instant meme when he shared the infamous 1994 shot on Instagram a few years back. Whereas the status clog is likely the same for all clog-wearers, the status fanny, and the clout it emits, shifts between Grailed-obsessed hypebeasts, Brooklyn moms, runners, and anyone else who might strap one on. The fanny’s clout changes according to the group wearing it. And eventually, devoted lifelong fanny wearer Judnick Mayard wrote an article for Ssense calling Off-White’s take “a $760 baguette of clout,” with clout essentially translating to status. Supreme’s picked up steam, too, culminating in a fanny pack on the Louis Vuitton runway. A year later, Virgil Abloh wore a cross-body Prada fanny pack over a tuxedo to receive his GQ Australia Man of the Year award. Places + Faces, a photography duo turned merch-and-fashion label, was one of the first to incorporate them into the world of streetwear in 2016. She closed down Marlow Goods in March to focus on other projects, but “every single time I see a lady who bought one, they still have it on.”Īt around the same time, in the same city, but in an entirely alternate universe, hypebeasts were picking up on the perfect way a bum pack allows its wearer to conveniently carry all of their goods, while displaying brand allegiances right across the chest. “They always sold out,” Huling remembers. It was also picked up and sold at Madewell. That bum pack made its way to Greta Gerwig. ![]() Huling herself wore it cross-body when she released the bag in 2014, popularizing the fanny’s whole new look. That’s in no small part thanks to Huling herself, who designed her own fanny - she called it the Lexington Bum Pack - with leather left over from the cows that supply Marlow and Sons, Diner, Romans, and the other Brooklyn restaurants owned by Andrew Tarlowe, her husband. Or at least it shed its image as being wrapped around some ’80s-era Jazzercise-er with ankle weights and parachute pants. The bag, always about convenience above all, became cool. And once the fanny was no longer the fanny, a whole new world opened up. Or bum packs, which is what British people have used all along. Or shoulder bags, which is where we’ve actually started wearing them. ![]() We can mark the fanny’s transition into a legitimately fashionable accessory to around the same time we decided to start calling them waist bags. The words status and fanny pack do not belong in the same sentence. Kate Huling, the leather designer behind Marlow Goods, repeats the phrase back at me over the phone, questioning it. ![]() Photo: Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images This fanny pack is worth 5 million clout points.
