Travel + Leisure Named Our Bum Bag the "Best for Travel" for 2026!

We have some exciting news to share! We are beyond excited to announce that Travel + Leisure has officially named the Arden Cove Bum Bag as the Best for Travel in their recent roundup of the Best Fanny Packs of 2024.

As a brand founded on the idea that you shouldn't have to sacrifice style for security, seeing our Bum Bag recognized by the world’s leading travel authority is a dream come true!

Why Travel + Leisure Picked Us

The editors at T+L put dozens of bags to the test, and here is what made the Arden Cove Bum Bag stand out from the crowd:

  • Security: They specifically highlighted our locking zipper clasps and slash-resistant lining, noting how these features provide peace of mind in crowded tourist spots where pickpockets might be a concern.

  • Organization: The review praised the built-in RFID-blocking wallet with card slots, which means one less thing to carry and more room for your essentials.

  • Durability Meets Style: T+L loved that the microfiber faux leather isn't just chic—it’s water-resistant and versatile enough to take everywhere. They also mentioned that after months of use, it showed no scratches or marks.

Designed for the Modern Traveler

We designed the Bum Bag to be the ultimate multitasker. Whether you’re wearing it as a classic waist bag, a trendy chest crossbody, or over the shoulder, it’s meant to move with you.

Knowing that T+L’s expert testers felt "safe and organized" while wearing it is exactly why we do what we do. We want you to focus on the view in front of you—not on whether your bag is secure.

Thank You to Our Community

This milestone wouldn’t be possible without you. From our early Kickstarter backers who helped bring the Bum Bag to life, to the customers who send us photos from their adventures around the globe. Thank you for trusting us with your travels!
