The ’90s are back and with them, the slightly edgier, far more hipster cousin of fanny packs—sling bags (and scrunchies, but that’s a guide for another time). Sling bags are, yes, a fashion statement, but also a convenient way to carry the essentials while traveling the world. Think of them as the middle ground between a backpack and your pockets.
Some of the best sling bags for women based on their features, design, and customer reviews from previous years include:
KAVU Rope Sling Bag
Travelon Anti-Theft Sling Bag
Pacsafe Venturesafe X Anti-Theft Sling Pack
Sherpani Camden RFID Sling Backpack
Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag
