Belt bags fashion. Belt bag. History of creation

Sometimes fashion trends develop into trends that accompany us for several seasons in a row.

The most convenient and comfortable of them are recognized on a planetary scale. Agree, bell sleeves didn’t suit everyone, but over the knee boots have been holding leading positions for many years in a row. A similar story happened with the waist bag. After all, it is difficult to overestimate the ability to carry all the most important things with you, but at the same time have free hands.

Now the belt bag has turned into a trendy accessory, however, initially it served only for utilitarian purposes.

Archaeologists have found the ancestors of modern waist bags in Egypt and ancient Greece. They carried small items necessary for daily needs, for example, tools.

Bags, which, perhaps, it would not be a shame to wear today, appeared in the XIV century, during the Renaissance.

Then the belt bag looked like a hanging purse and was called "Omonier" (Aumônière). Representatives of the upper strata of society ordered omoniers from expensive fabrics with luxurious embroidery or leather trimmed with fur. They carried coins, perfumes, scarves in such bags.

It was possible to attach several omonieres to the belt at once. By the way, at that time they themselves did not have a strap: a belt from clothes was threaded through the holes in the bag.

Commoners also wore waist bags, but they were made of simple, durable materials to securely hold much more prosaic items on their belts.

You look, a small bag on the belt would have remained just “one of ...”, if not for the 90s of the twentieth century.

The decade adored by designers has many recognizable features - grunge, linen style, chokers. There is also a waist bag on this list. Then everyone fell in love with her: party-goers, skateboarders, busy moms and Hollywood stars.

In our homeland, a belt bag has its own special flair: in the 90s, not a single shuttle could do without it, the seller of Turkish terry bathrobes in the market or the currency exchanger at the exchanger - it was convenient to put money in the bag. A solid foundation was laid, and over time, a bag on the belt appeared in every second.

Something similar to an epidemic has been going on for the last two years. Fashion brands compete to see who will release a "hot pie", and street fashion stars - no matter what unexpected bow they come up with. Belt bags have become an order of magnitude more luxurious than their predecessors, and they are most often worn not on the hips, but on the waist or even as a crossbody.

The daredevils, as always, set the trend themselves: Jared Leto drove all fashionistas and fashionistas crazy back in 2014 with his favorite fanny pack (and biceps).

This spring, in my opinion, the best belt bags from Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu - everything you need will fit.

By the way, the history of the belt bag does not begin in Soviet times. The first prototypes of minibags appeared in the 15th century: men hung on their belts the likeness of leather wallets in which they kept coins. As we can see, even then something did not work out, because the waist bag was quickly forgotten and was not remembered almost until the end of the 20th century.

New generation belt bag

Today, such a handbag takes pride of place in the wardrobe of a modern person. All the stereotypes associated with wearing it have finally sunk into oblivion. And it is absolutely deserved, because it is difficult to find an even more convenient and practical storage of small things that can hold all the essentials and completely free your hands.

Nowadays, a belt bag is also called a minibag, beltbag, belt purse. The old names, which are like “hello from the 90s” - “banana”, “bubble”, “kidney” (because it was often worn from the side of the kidney) - are also sometimes used, but rather out of habit.

For whom is it intended

First of all, for those who need to leave the house light, but at the same time take a couple of little things with them - keys, banknotes, credit cards, smartphones, players. There is no point in dragging a backpack or a full-fledged bag with you, but putting on a belt wallet (another “folk” name) is just the way.

The most useful fashion device will be in such situations:

On a jog (when the player and house keys do not hang in your pocket, but lie in your bag);

On a train / plane, on an excursion (when a tourist can hide money, phone, documents and not be afraid of theft, since everything is in plain sight);

On a daily walk (everyone will find something to take with them on the road, for example, a smartphone, a wallet, a minimum set of cosmetics for a girl, a pacifier for a mother with a child).

How to wear a belt bag

Based on the name, it is clear that it is correct to wear a bag at the waist. But today, young people have come up with a new way of wearing - over the shoulder, both in front and on the back. We don’t know for sure whether this is a way of self-expression of teenagers, or a fashionable move by marketers (so that people erase the “banana” of the 90s from their memory), but it turned out that this is also very convenient.

Types: material, models

The classic belt bag looks like a voluminous fabric pocket with one or two zipped compartments. The product is soft, without a frame, fits snugly to the body. The bag is equipped with a textile strap, which fastens at the back with fastex. The length of the waist belt is adjustable according to the size of the waist.

The main material of the top is nylon, polyester, textile. Manufacturers are trying to choose a water-repellent and durable base.

Handbags made of leather, eco-leather are also produced. They are more durable and have an elegant look - they can be combined with strict bows. Often there are square or rectangular options, like tablet bags.

Bags for women can be decorated with snake skin, crocodile, and also have a fluffy fur top.

Today, sports belts are also in fashion - narrow (the width of a real belt) and shaped like a banana. Such models are equipped inside with a special ventilation system for maximum comfort of the runner.

Sports samples can be sewn from neoprene - waterproof and elastic. Such models are not voluminous, but flat (they stretch to fit the size of the items worn). The belt also stretches well.

The decorations of the bag are:

Reflective strips (not only beautiful, but also safe in the dark);

Prints, inscriptions, patches;

On women's models - rhinestones, sequins, a metal emblem of the brand;

Other useful features are a slot for headphones, patch pockets, a compartment for a water bottle.

• Any store, a huge online market or a tiny boutique located in a neighboring house will confirm: the most popular color of handbags, backpacks, briefcases used in the autumn-winter period was, is and probably always will be black. Like white, only in the summer. But for all its practicality, it is insanely boring. If you want to somehow stand out, diversify your image, there is nothing easier than to dilute your wardrobe with an unusual brightly colored handbag.

A few years ago, waist bags for women were associated exclusively with sellers in the markets, public transport conductors or waiters in cafes. However, fashion does not stand still, and today a women's belt bag is not just a wardrobe item, but also a stylish accessory for every fashionista. If you want to be in trend and keep up with fashion, be sure to purchase this fashion item, which will become an indispensable part of a woman's wardrobe.

What is the name of the waist bag

No matter how strange it may sound, designers and fashion designers have not yet come up with an official name for a women's belt bag. But the popularity of the accessory did not suffer from this, because the advantages of the belt bag remained the same. But modern girls have long used their names for these bags in everyday life. Here are the most common types and names for women's belt bags:

banana bag

Perhaps the most versatile and practical thing for a girl. A banana bag can be leather, rag, denim with decorative elements, fur or suede.

clutch

A versatile type of waist bag that smoothly moved from shoulder to waist. Previously, clutches were often worn in the hands, but this was not very convenient. Therefore, today a belt clutch is perfect for those girls who strive to ensure that their hands are always free. Belt clutches, as a rule, are small in size and are designed to fit a phone, a mirror and other women's little things.

Belt wallet

Many designers have gone much further, and came up with the idea of ​​transferring an ordinary miniature women's wallet to a belt. The idea is similar to the properties of a belt clutch, but the wallet is much less capacious. But it can be easily worn over a skirt, and covered with a free-cut T-shirt. So, the necessary little things will be at hand.

Carpenter's bag

This type of women's belt bag borrowed such an extraordinary name from men of working professions. It is in it that they usually put various accessories for work - gloves, screwdrivers, scissors, nuts and other trifles. In a similar bag for girls, there is always a place for a phone and other little things that should always be there. The main condition for girls when using this type of bag is narrow hips, since the belt, along with the accessory, is located in this place.

Sport bags

At the first idea of ​​such a waist bag, the thought immediately arises: “How to wear it on a belt?”. But a sports bag does not have to be large. Miniature sports waist bags are easily attached to the belt with special belts, while providing convenient movement. Hip bags from Dakine are very popular among sportswomen. They have managed to establish themselves as high-quality and practical accessories.

The undeniable advantages of a belt bag

For several seasons, women's waist bags have been steadily gaining momentum. And if earlier it seemed that this was an exclusively male accessory, today no girl can do without this practical little thing. And this is not surprising, because it has a number of advantages:

• the perfect combination of comfort and fashion. It is these qualities that should make any girl buy this accessory for herself. Now your arms and shoulders are free from excess weight, and all the little things you need are at hand;
