# Modernized Fanny Packs The Pac-Sac is a Slimmed-Down Version with Retro Roots By Meghan Young | Published 2011-10-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pac-sac References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/style/pac-sac.php) & [cap-sac](http://www.cap-sac.com/products-page/pacsacs) The fanny pack has been needing a revamp for some time now and the Pac-Sac does just that. This modernized version of the late '80s, early '90s fashion staple still holds onto its retro roots through vibrant neon colors. Yet its simplified aesthetic and slimmer pouch definitely gives it a contemporary appeal. Created by the same fine folks who introduced the [Cap-Sac](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cap-sac-kids) for both kids and adults, the Pac-Sac is a natural extension of their original line. Perfect for hipsters, the Pac-Sac is soft, durable and even sports a pocket specifically made to fit an iPod. The Pac-Sac is available in six different colors, which mix and match with different belt shades for a customized look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modernized Fanny Packs:** Opportunity for designers to create more modern versions of retro accessories. - **Customizable Fashion Accessories:** Innovation opportunities lie in the development of personalized and customizable fashion accessories. - **Retro Fashion Comeback:** The revival of retro fashion trend is an opportunity for retailers to offer updated versions of classic clothing and accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** Increased demand for modernized retro accessories creates a market space for fashion brands to innovate and capitalize. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity exists for consumer electronics companies to partner with fashion brands to create technology-compatible wearable accessories. - **Retail:** Revival of retro fashion trend creates an opportunity for retail businesses to introduce updated versions of classic accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Fashion Fanny Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-porter-baguette.md) - [Functional Vintage-Inspired Bag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-series.md) - [Juice Pouch Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pouch-purse.md) - [Ultra-Compact Packable Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanobag-1.md) - [Utility Hiking Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rc-outdoor-supply.md) - [Crossbody Hydration Pack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossbody-hydration-pack.md) - [Modernized Ergonomic Sling Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-bag.md) - [Ice Cream Fanny Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-sammy-pack.md) - [Adaptable Three-in-One Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack.md) - [Freezable Crossbody Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-crossbody.md)
