Described by H! Fashion’s Fashion Features writer Tania Leslau as the “ultimate marmite accessory,” the bumbag has officially been signed off for summer 2025.

Nicola Peltz Beckham took to Instagram to share a fun series of clips of her and husband Brooklyn Beckham running amok at Coachella, drinking in the sunshine and the musical acts, but it was her bag of choice that really piqued our interest.

The bag - a quilted Chanel number - featuring the iconic interlocking CC charm and heavy silver hardware combined luxury with practicality. 

Lots of handy pockets for all your festival must-haves and it’s hands-free so you can wave them in the air, like you just don’t care.

Described by the brand as a 'waist bag’ Nicole opted to wear it slung across her torso over the top of festival staples: a black crochet vest and a simple white tank top. 

We’ve always had a soft spot for the dad-on-holiday sort of vibe that a fanny pack brings to an ensemble. 

H! Fashion’s Tania Leslau adds, “Bumbags, also known as fanny packs across the pond, originated in the 1980s as a functional accessory for tourists and joggers. Often ridiculed in the 90s, they faded from fashion, until streetwear revived them." 

"Today, luxury brands have reimagined them as statement pieces, blending nostalgia with utility in a distinctly modern silhouette.

Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dior have all debuted iterations of the style in recent season and Nicola isn’t the only star leading into the trend, with Kendall Jenner recently seen in an Off-White belt bag at a desert pool party, while Hailey Bieber has a buttery beige Bottega Veneta in her collection.

Emily Ratajkowsi also recently got in on the action, sporting a very handyman-friendly belt bag with multiple pockets that looks so blooming useful and chic that we simply must get our hands on.
