Slick Around the Middle

Yana Belt Bags

Vodka gimlet sloshed on your shoes, purse dangling from a slumped shoulder while you fumble to silence your embarrassingly loud “Dancing Queen” ring: Looks like you could use a hand.

Or a less irksome handbag.

Yana belt bags transfer the burden to your middle without looking the least bit like a fanny pack. (We would never do that to you.) Each style is made from repurposed leather, topped with eighteen-karat gold-plated hardware, and comes in an array of colors, as well as several patterns. A convertible strap permits the bags to be conveniently worn across the chest or over the shoulder.

Suit up in the Sexy at All Times snakeskin belt bag and be on your way.

Just be prepared to juggle some compliments.
