Over the past few years, the retro trend has continued unabated. Many classic items that were popular in the last century and even earlier have been revived and returned to the fashion field. For example, the waist bag we are familiar with is such a single product. It has frequently appeared in fashion weeks and star street shooting recently, and has become one of the coolest items nowadays. The history of fanny packs can be said to be quite long, and it may be one of the longest-standing accessories in human history.
In 1991, archaeologists discovered the Iceman of Oz, who lived more than 5,000 BC, and he actually carried a pocket with him. It contained paraphernalia such as scrapers, flints, and dried mushrooms. This may be the earliest prototype of the pocket.
After that, bags similar to pockets appeared in ancient civilizations such as ancient Egypt and ancient Rome. We can see it in many ancient paintings.
In the 16th century, European soldiers would also wear something similar to a pocket when fighting to store their belongings.
And who invented the modern purse has always been a matter of opinion. One of the most common sayings is that an Australian mother got inspiration from kangaroos and invented a practical item. She tied the bag around her waist and kept some necessary daily necessities with her, so that she could take care of the children while doing housework more conveniently.
In the 1960s, pockets became the favorite of outdoor sportsmen, especially skiers. They like to wear a waist bag made of canvas or cowhide, which carries emergency rescue supplies.
