Turning a Crissy Full Crossbody and Elise Crossbody into a Fanny Pack

The Crissy Full Crossbody and Elise Crossbody are both popular options in our line of anti-theft water resistant bags. While cross body is a comfortable and convient style, some customers have asked about wearing them around the waist. This guide will show you how to convert your crossbody bag into a fanny pack, and which straps will work the best for you! 

Is it possible to wear the Crissy Full Crossbody or Elise Crossbody as a fanny pack?

Yes! Here is a video showing how both bags can be worn around the waist with a faux leather short strap

 

 

What strap can be worn around the waist / fanny pack? 

We have several fanny pack straps that can work around the waist that vary in length. Here's how to measure your waist to find the perfect fit for you!

1. Take a tape measure and measure around the waist where you want to wear the bag to give you the Waist Length

2. Take Waist Length and subtrack the Bag Length. Waist L - Bag L = X

You can find this measurement under "Product Details" of the product page. 

Full Crissy Crossbody and Elise Crossbody are both 8.5" long. 

3. Check which straps the remainder X falls within:

These are the straps that should work for you.
