Bumbags are back

bumbag” never fails to elicit a snigger, and not just because it sounds so ridiculous. A favourite of socks-and-sandals-donning American tourists, this fashion relic has now been dredged from the archive of dubious taste and is the accessory for spring, thanks to Marc Jacobs. It appeared in his eponymous line as well as in his collection for Louis Vuitton (above) as a tasselled hip-hovering beast.
