A better way to carry all my essentials

The small crossbody purses I used to carry were often too small to hold all my essentials, such as my hard eyeglass case. Moreover, the way they hang from my body made me feel less hands-off and didn’t allow me to dance freely at music festivals and concerts.

Tried some fanny packs that were just OK

I began carrying all my essentials (wallet, phone, hand sanitizers, passport, etc.) in a small belt-bag style fanny pack when I went to Tokyo last September so I could be hands-free while carrying larger items such as an umbrella, water bottle, and cardigan/jacket in a convertible crossbody/backpack. I liked using a fanny pack but felt that it was too small. Then I saw one of my nieces carrying a pretty medium-sized belt bag across her body and loved the way it suited her needs.

Searching for a roomier fanny pack

When I got back from Japan, I started searching for a roomier fanny pack that I could wear in several different ways. I found one and bought this Boho crossbody/fanny pack from SoJourner on Amazon.

When I received it, I immediately liked its size, fabric texture, sturdy construction, and versatility in how you can wear it. I also get many compliments, even from strangers passing by.

The features that make this bag great

The following are the features I like about this pack:

• DURABLE CONSTRUCTION – SoJourner’s fanny pack crossbody bag is made from durable poly with enhanced stitching, an adjustable belt, and functional quality zippers. With this pack, I can carry my valuable essentials with confidence.

• PERFECT SIZE SIZE – “11.5 x 7 x 4 – Compared to other fanny packs I have used, SoJourner’s is a little larger, making it a great all-around bag.

• READY FOR ADVENTURE – My pack is always ready for my next adventure or grocery shopping.

Since I like my pack so much, I bought an extra for a backup.
