INTERNATIONAL FANNY PACK DAY!

That's right, friends! International Fanny Pack Day falls on the second Saturday in March and was originally created not just to celebrate this iconic accessory, but also to encourage charitable giving. The day was reportedly founded by Nick Yates in 2007 and the story goes that while returning from a party, he came across a homeless man, and out of compassion, he gave the man the fruitcake in his fanny pack. This encounter then inspired Yates to start a charitable campaign to donate food to the poor and needy of society. (Source: National Today)

So International Fanny Pack Day isn’t just about showing off your favorite bag—it’s also about giving back. 

This International Fanny Pack Day, we want to see how you wear yours! Snap a picture of your favorite fanny pack look and tag us on social media. Whether you’re out on an adventure, styling it up for a casual day out, or just enjoying hands-free convenience, we’d love to feature your photos and celebrate together!

Fanny packs have come a long way from their ‘80s and ‘90s reputation. Today, they’re a staple for stylish, on-the-go folks who value convenience and fashion. Whether you wear yours around your waist, sling it crossbody, or even style it over your shoulder, a fanny pack is the perfect companion for running errands, traveling, or adding a pop of personality to your outfit.

Here at American Happy, we're all about celebrating nostalgic (and functional) fashion. Our handmade fanny packs are designed with love, care, and a commitment to quality. Each piece is crafted to be as unique as you are, offering the perfect blend of style and practicality.
