The Bottega Veneta Waist Pack: Yay or Nay?

The fanny pack was back in trend a few years ago and we’re sure they would make another comeback in a couple more years. We honestly think it would be nice to have one beautiful waist pack in one’s closet for days when one’s activity will require one to have have her hands free. A nice belt bag (yup, we used the word belt bag.  :-) ) in leather, in the right size, would be a good purchase.

We found a leather and nylon waist bag in Bluefly and it’s by no less than Bottega Veneta, but for $840 we’re unsure about this bag:

Bottega Veneta Leather and Nylon Waist Pack

This waist pack will probably last forever which means we can make use of it every time the fanny pack goes back in style, but we still don’t think we’re willing to fork over that much money on such a bag.

The bag’s exterior is made of leather and nylon. The front has basket weave leather with a zip. The main compartment is lined with nylon as you can see in this photo:Bottega Veneta Waist Pack Tag

The bag is actually two-toned: black and dark brown. The bag measures approximately 12” at widest x 6½” tall at center x 2” deep; weighs 0.5 lbs.

Looks like Cameron Diaz is a big fan woven purses, especially one brand of woven purses in particular—Bottega Veneta.

Only a few weeks after we featured her with her Bottega Veneta Dark Brown Woven Leather ‘Veneta’ Large Hobo Purse in Berlin, The Green Hornet actress was spotted again with another Bottega Veneta on her arm, this time a Bottega Veneta Intrecciato VN Medium Duffel. Take a look:

Cameron was snapped ready for take off for Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at LAX, looking classy with a camel-colored woven Bottega Veneta Intrecciato VN Medium Duffel.

Here’s Cameron upon arriving at the luxurious Cabo San Lucas getaway, still with her Bottega Veneta Intrecciato VN Medium Duffel:
