belt bag

Hip-worn storage pouch

A belt bag is a small pouch worn around the waist, secured by a strap that buckles or clips.

It keeps essentials—keys, phone, wallet—accessible without using pockets or carrying a purse.

The term became fashionable as a rebranding of *fanny pack*, which sounds vulgar to British ears.

Belt bags are now worn across the chest as often as around the waist.
