Fanny packs are a thing of the past with their bulgy exteriors and undesirable waist lines. Cap-Sacs combine the functionality of the [fanny pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-crossbody) with the everyday use of a [baseball hat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era).

These brightly coloured head pieces have [zippered pockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-1) in the front, which can hold everyday items like keys, money and mobile phones. And they're cheap! Pick up your neon nylon fanny cap for only $13.

**Implications** - This fanny cap takes a traditional, well-known item and makes slight alterations to create something new. With so many products on the market, this is a great way to invent an item without wasting money on production costs. Customers are likely to take notice because of its familiarity, yet be intrigued due to its odd nature.
