Fashion trends move in one big circle, and the great wheel of cool has spun fanny packs back into popularity once more. The iconic ’80s-style staple is back in a big way, and the Gen Zers of TikTok have fallen in love with one pack in particular: the Everywhere Belt Bag from Lululemon.
TikToks that feature the Everywhere Belt Bag are racking up views in the hundreds of thousands on the app. Users show off their extensive belt bag collections, trade tips and hacks, and model the versatile bag with countless different outfits (always worn slung across the chest, never around the waist.)
There’s just one problem with the Everywhere Belt Bag’s uber popularity: It sells out. A lot. The bag never stays available on the official Lululemon site for long after restocking — especially since resellers are snapping up stock and charging up to double on sites like Poshmark and eBay.
The original bag itself isn’t so expensive, usually found at under $40 at Lululemon.com. But with the real deal so hard to get your hands on, Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag dupes present an attractive alternative that’s available to you right here, right now.
So whether you’re seeking a convincing look-a-like or a bold new spin on the classic fanny pack, here are some of our favorite Lululemon belt bag dupes:
Note: Products reflect the price and availability at the time of publication.
1. Target Wild Fable Fanny Pack
These Wild Fable bags have made a bit of a splash on TikTok themselves — it thrilled users to learn of a Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag dupe being sold by Target for only $15. The Lululemon and Target belt bags look pretty close in terms of shape, size and design, with the Target one featuring a similar wide strap and top-zippered main pocket.
The main differences (besides the price tag) are that Wild Fable adds a convenient front exterior pocket and introduced a few new styles of their own, including corduroy and faux leather options.
2. JanSport Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack
The Fifth Avenue fanny pack from JanSport is made to keep your essentials close, featuring cute embroidered mini graphics adorning the front. It has an adjustable waist belt, one main compartment and a zippered front pocket for those teeny tiny necessities. You have 14 color and pattern options to pick from.
3. AE Anywhere Belt Bag
With a similar boxy shape and thickset crossbody strap, the American Eagle brand belt bag — playfully called an “anywhere bag” — is a passable Lululemon fanny pack dupe. This nylon one can clip to your belt or be worn as a cross-body with the adjustable strap that also comes with a small pouch for your AirPod case.
4. Herschel Classic Hip Pack
When it comes to options, the Hip Pack from Herschel beats the competition in terms of its sleek and minimalist design, not to mention its EcoSystem
fabric that comes from 100% recycled post-consumer water bottles. There are 16 different colors to choose from, and the perfect size for carrying daily essentials without being too bulky or cumbersome.
5. Vans Daily Commuter Belt Bag
Made from recycled polyester, the Vans fanny pack has a main top zip compartment that can fit your everyday essentials while also converting from a waist bag to an on-the-shoulder bag.
6. Cotopaxi Kapai Hip Pack
This fanny pack from Cotopaxi is more of a Lululemon Wanderlust belt bag dupe, in our opinion. Lululemon’s other extremely popular and extremely hard-to-find fanny pack has a longer shape and slightly higher carrying capacity, which Cotopaxi captures well in this sturdy alternative. The Lululemon Wanderlust costs $58. In contrast, Cotopaxi’s belt bag adds up to roughly 50% less of that price.
7. Adidas Originals Sport Belt Bag
It’s not a dupe per se since, even from afar, you can spot key differences between this belt bag and a Lululemon. But with a similar boxy build and sporty vibe — and a retail price of $8 less — we think Adidas makes a respectable alternative to the Everywhere. Sometimes you want a waist pack; sometimes you want a crossbody bag, and you get both options with this one. Adidas brings its own style to the table in this roomy, everyday-carry belt bag that features two large pockets and a third “hidden” pouch.
8. Patagonia Black Hole Mini Hip Pack
Patagonia’s Black Hole Hip Pack shares a lot of the same appeal as the Lululemon Everywhere but ultimately dances to the beat of its own drum. The two fanny packs share their boxy design and 1-liter carrying capacity, and both can be slung across the chest for the signature crossbody look. But rather than Lululemon’s muted colors, the Patagonia fanny packs trend more toward neon and neutral color combos reminiscent of classic hiking gear design schemes.
9. The North Face Jester Lumbar Pack
If you’re looking for quality, longevity and availability, The North Face fanny pack might be the best Lululemon belt bag dupe. Its pack-built quality is comparable to the original, if not better, in some ways. They’ve added a front bungee system and plenty of 2.2 liters of internal organization, for example, arguably a step up from the 1-liter volume of the standard Everywhere bag.
10. Athleta All About Belt Bag
Made from post-consumer plastic bottles, Athleta’s All About fanny pack has a minimalist design that closely resembles Lululemon’s. The All About features an adjustable strap for wearing on your waist or across your body and currently comes in six colors, although some are on backorder.
