These simple [leather creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-bags) effortlessly merge practicality with style. Each of these 'Meryl Belt Pouch' bags can sit on your waist like any normal belt would, simply hang over a shoulder, or lay across your body like a [cross-body bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-crossbody). Furthermore, these practical accessories can double as a clutch or be used as a [belt by removing the pouch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truckle) portion. It's hard to wear an accessory with this much practicality while still being stylish, but this pouch makes it possible.
