Bear Naked Small Clear Backpack
This one sort of tests the limits of the clear bag policy. It’s purple, for Parti Patti, and there was a security guard at one venue that wanted to deny me entry, but his comrade pointed out to him that it was still clear, which got it through. So you can still see all my junk, but you really have to look to distinguish what’s what. Which is a little nicer, but still, the Bear Naked feeling can persist. If it lasts more than 5 hours, see your doctor.
These cute little small backpacks have reinforced seams, which makes them far superior to the ones that are just going to rip and tear after a few shows. Warning, the little decorative tassels tend to fall off the zippers, so every once in a while make sure they’re tied tight, or maybe a drop of glue there would help. I don’t know, I still have a little bit of a crazy glue hesitancy from that time my Dad glued his fingers to my Mom’s tooth, in her mouth. Don’t ask.
The straps are better this time too. I heard you Patti. Pro tip, listen to your friend Patti, she’s a cool chick. These are silky like seat belt material with adjustable straps. They’re tour tested, and they’ve lasted well though the whole thing. These bags have been across the country, they’ve seen things. They’re small, as you see in the photo with the adorable pouting teen, - 10 x 8 x 5 inches, - the bag, not the teen. It fits most places bag requirements, except the odd ones that only allow wristlets or that crazy one that I’m sure had a typo that only allowed bags 1 inch fat. Pro tip #2, if you get to the door and they say your bag is too big, dump everything out of your bag, flatten it, and fold it, then carry it and all your other stuff in your hands or pockets until you clear security. They hold more than they look, so get a guy with huge pockets to help you, tell him it’s payback for all the times we’ve carried their crap in our purses.
1 bag for $33 or 2 for $55, shipping included. And since they’re the same price as our Clear Crossbody Bags, you can get one of each of that’s what floats your boat.
