During this socially distanced summer, we have to carry more things than ever before — a mask, hand sanitizer, and sunscreen are just a few essentials beyond the standard phone, wallet, and keys. When it comes to what to put those things in, we recently wrote that fanny packs, which “crossed the line from tourist trope to hypebeast accessory long ago,” have “now become a practical option as common as a backpack or a status tote, and for good reason: They allow you to keep your hands totally free but still travel light.” Slightly sleeker than your average fanny pack, this elegant Coach belt bag could fit all of those aforementioned new essentials, and better yet, it’s currently half off as part of the brand’s Summer Sale. (In addition to black, the bag is also on sale in white and olive green.) This already good deal gets even better when you consider the bag’s versatile design: It has detachable straps that allow it to easily go from a fanny pack to crossbody purse.
