Although you might have a favorite top handle purse, you may want to opt for something more convenient. Hands-free bags are making a comeback, as celebrities are starting to prioritize comfort and efficiency — Joanna Gaines being one of them.
The interior designer and star of HGTV’s Fixer Upper was spotted wearing a convertible belt bag in a recent Instagram Reel at her Magnolia Table restaurant. She wore the Fjällräven High Coast Hip Pack, which is currently on sale at Amazon for under $40. It was sufficient to hold her personal items, but also kept her hands free to greet restaurant goers and eat a peanut butter parfait throughout the day.
Since belt bags and crossbody bags are essential for daily use and travel, we’ve rounded up some other options from the brand and more styles inspired by Gaines’ in the fall-ready green color — prices start at $15.
Belt Bags Inspired by Joanna Gaines
Fjällräven High Coast Hip Pack
The Fjällräven High Coast Hip Pack has a main pocket alongside a front and back pocket with zippers for storage. It can be worn as a belt bag closer to the chest or around the waist by shortening the strap, depending on your preference. You can also extend the strap and carry it as a crossbody like Gaines did.
Amazon shoppers are calling it “stylish but still practical,” and one person even said it’s the “perfect size for traveling.” It’s available in three colors including gray, red, and green.
Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L
Another similar option is the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag, which is designed for casual, everyday wear. Made with water-repellent fabric, this Lululemon belt bag has both exterior and interior zippered pockets to hold valuables and is available in 20 colors. Shoppers call this bag “useful for everyday living” and say it’s the “perfect little bag for on the go.”
Quince Revive Nylon Belt Bag
The Quince Revive Nylon Belt Bag is made from plastic water bottles, resulting in a water-resistant material that is not only durable, but also lightweight. This belt bag has near perfect ratings, with reviewers saying they receive “so many compliments” when they wear it.
