Everlane’s $23 Fanny Pack Is Our Go-To Croissant Bag Dupe

Bag trends come and go, but one staple silhouette that hasn’t faded from the fashion set: the croissant bag. Beloved by designers like Lemaire and brands like Coach, the croissant (or crescent) shaped bag has been seen all over street style accounts and travel blogs alike, thanks to its unisex design, ease of carry, and minimalist silhouette.

But Lemaire’s bags run into the thousands of dollars online, and Coach’s crescent sling purse is $139, even on sale. The alternative: picking up Everlane’s ReNew Transit Fanny Pack, which gets you a casual croissant bag look for under $25.

Renew Transit Fanny Pack

$23 $45 49% off

Buy Now AT EVERLANE


Already a steal at $45, Everlane’s unisex fanny pack is on sale from just $23 right now. Made from a durable polyester manufactured from recycled plastic bottles, the croissant bag dupe is lightweight and practical for all occasions.

The crescent bag features a streamlined design that sits flat against your chest or back, while the built-in strap is adjustable based on how you want the fanny pack to hang (I.e. around the waist or over your shoulders). Measuring 15 x 6.3 inches in size, the Everlane bag features two external zip pockets along with a main zip compartment. There’s more than enough room for your wallet, phone, keys, chargers and other accessories.

The Everlane deal gets you their Renew Transit Fanny Pack in a “beech” colorway for $23 here. Get it in black or “warm quartz” (a light taupe colorway) on sale for $34. This is a great everyday bag for errands and commuting, though we’ve used it as a travel bag as well, keeping our passport and valuables close by when we’re on the go.

TWOYOMN Crossbody Crescent Bag

Looking for an even cheaper crescent bag online? Amazon users have dubbed this as both a “hobo bag” and a “dumpling bag” but the shape is similar to Everlane’s style above. Made from a soft nylon material, the bag is available on Amazon in multiple colors starting at under $10. This bag won’t be as durable or hold its shape as well as the Everlane bag, but for casual use, it more than fits the bill.

Note: while Uniqlo used to offer a popular crescent sling bag, that style is currently sold out on its site.
