Well it happened. I had to check the “30 or older” box on a form the other day. As of August I’m no longer classified as a “young adult”. I think that must be why the reason why I haven’t quite grasped the phenomenon of fanny packs and other 80’s inspired promo items that we sell. Okay, so I actually did have a fanny pack when I was growing up – when I was 8 – that I wore around the Disney theme parks while growing up on Orlando. But I wasn’t exactly a fashion icon in the ’80’s. Huge pink plastic glasses that nearly took up my entire face, frizzy hair hidden under a mountain of scrunchies, buck teeth, neon tube socks, and poor fashion sense. But at least I was practical. I mean, what’s not handy about nylon 6-compartment kangaroo pouch around your waist?
At some point over the years practicality seems to have grown into novelty though, and now fanny packs are back in full force! At least I think it’s a novelty thing. This retro stuff has been selling like hotcakes! Easily they are the most popular promotional item among fraternities and sororities, and even picking up steam among any companies looking to appeal to a younger demographic. You’ll be the coolest kid on the block and so will your customers that are wearing your swag – at least among the under 30 crowd!
