Girls, what's the opposite of an 'It' bag? The answer to that is quite possibly the 'Schitbag.' No, you didn't read that wrong. A recently released [fanny pack with a shoulder strap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-offers) has been proclaimed to be the "the new status purse," according to a press release uncovered by Fashionista.com.

The Schitbag, which apparently has [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-2027-collection) fascinated, is an [across-the-body bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trollex) that, according to the same press release, is an accessory "providing sensuous elegance." There might not be much elegance about the name--the origin of which remains elusive--but at least the Schitbag has people talking.
