The leather bum pack »Mel« is a classic fanny pack with many compartments and for every day. It is particularly practical when travelling, when you want your valuables to be safely stowed away but always within reach. The design dates back to the late 1980s and became world famous at the time due to the Californian skater movement. Currently, the "hip bag" is experiencing a great revival in street style. With »Mel«, we have reduced this design classic to the essentials and given it a contemporary and grown-up look with our leather.
The compact fanny pack can be worn around the waist or across the shoulder, or cross-body. The bag is currently only offered in one universal size (one-size). However, the fanny pack can be individually adjusted to the waist (90-120cm or size M-XL). The model has 2 zipped compartments at the front and 1 zipped compartment at the back. The belt opens and closes with a metal snap closure.
The bum bag is almost entirely handmade. Only natural and sustainable materials are used. All stress points are additionally reinforced.
Perhaps you have already noticed that our bags are different.
The bag made of canvas and leather is almost completely handmade in many individual steps. Our master bag makers and saddlers need years of training to be able to produce bags of this quality.
We value natural and high-quality materials and pay attention to sustainability and the environment. GENUINE BUFFALO LEATHER, 100% COTTON, a high material strength and the complete absence of synthetic fibers in our outer fabrics characterize our bags. Handmade premium quality you can feel!
Leather is a natural material and may have small imperfections. Each leather product is also patinated by hand. This complex process makes our products unmistakable. No bag can be exactly like another. Small color deviations are unfortunately unavoidable and not a sign of poor quality.

- Gently dab and rub away stains with a clean, wet cloth. Consider trying a mild detergent if the stains are stubborn. You can use a special leather cleaner for this. You should test this in one place beforehand and use it in accordance with the instructions for use.
