For most of modern history we weren’t carrying palm-sized computers with us everywhere.


Our palm sized computers also fit in ..... regular bags. Small ones, medium sized ones and big ones.

It works if you're a teenager. My friend (age 57) wore one traveling and looked like she was trying to be a teenager.


Your friend needs a better friend


+1

You don’t seem very kind or friendly.

It's so utiliarian because it holds things close to the body and accessible. It might be here to stay with different designs and styling obviously


She…does not look good.

DD had yo carry epipens and Benadryl with her at school. These bags-stylish or not - are so much more convenient for her.

Half the moms at last weekend’s soccer tournament were wearing that Lulu thing.

Utilitarian, but not remotely stylish.

I wear my belt bag as a crossbody and I love it. Convenient and it looks really stylish that way. I don't know if any watched "And Just Like That" but the Nicole Ari Parker character wore a fanny pack and it was EVERYTHING!
