Cross body bag or a fanny pack had a boom in the 1980’s. Back in time, a fanny pack was more than a mom’s accessories. Wearing it was necessary to stay trendy, for both men and women. It was designed to keep you “hand-free” when wearing it. And most of them was made with leather and bulky pockets. When it comes to the 90’s, it had its down time and wearing a fanny pack was considered as nerdy.
