# Fashionable Phone Harnesses LD West's Chic Phone Holster Design Stores Cash and Cell Phones By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-holster References: [ldwest](http://www.ldwest.com/shop/copy-of-copy-of-ldwest-holster-tan) & [blogto](http://www.blogto.com/fashion_style/2014/06/toronto_menswear_brand_creates_holster_for_your_phone/) This phone holster by LD West is designed as a chic, unisex harness that makes it easy to securely store and access your valuables. Even though most of today's smartphones are super slim, this doesn't stop pockets from bulging and [phone belt clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otterbox1) from looking unattractive. Rather than this, the Original LD West Holster slips on like a backpack and provides a stylish alternative that leaves your pockets free from bulk. In addition to being able to store a phone on one side, the harness also features a [built-in wallet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-mag-wallet) on the other. The [vegan leather design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyden-duo-series) comes in one universal size that can be adjusted to fit all. The leather holster also comes in multiple colors, to that you'll always be looking sharp. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Chic Phone Accessories:** The trend of chic phone accessories presents an opportunity for innovative designs and stylish alternatives to traditional phone holsters. - **Minimalist Phone Storage:** The trend of minimalist phone storage creates opportunities for compact and streamlined phone harnesses that eliminate the need for bulging pockets or unattractive belt clips. - **Versatile Phone Wallets:** The trend of versatile phone wallets allows for the integration of phone storage and wallet functionality into a single stylish and convenient accessory. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can capitalize on the trend of chic phone accessories by developing stylish and trendy phone holsters and harnesses. - **Small Leather Goods:** The small leather goods industry can seize the opportunity presented by the trend of minimalist phone storage to design and manufacture compact and functional phone holsters and storage solutions. - **Wallet and Payment Solutions:** The wallet and payment solutions industry can explore the trend of versatile phone wallets by creating innovative designs that integrate phone storage and wallet functionality in a seamless and user-friendly manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Clutch Purse Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honor-v-purse.md) - [Adjustable Phone Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sling.md) - [Western-Inspired Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/western-noir.md) - [Magnetic Multi-Functional Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-strap.md) - [Knitted Phone Pockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-pocket.md) - [Vegan Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyden-duo-series.md) - [Leather Taco Holsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bellt.md) - [Sophisticated Belt Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clio.md) - [Smartphone-Charging Smart Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphonecharging-smart-wallets.md)
