Eternally chic fashion house Emporio Armani has revealed the most elegant external pockets ever in their Fall 2011 collection. Designed with a suggestion of the ubiquitous fanny pack, these pouches in black wool are nothing short of classic.
Emporio Armani’s stylish side sacks positioned right at the hip are practical too; keep your cell phone, keys and credit card handy without having to lug around a purse and in the fall, it's a perfect way to keep your hands warm and cozy.
