he global wave of transparency<br />
coming to a festival near<br />
you is not just a trend.<br />
We could all use a little<br />
more transparency — in politics,<br />
the media, and now in our live<br />
music ventures.<br />
Ever since the tragic bombing<br />
at the Ariana Grande concert in<br />
Manchester in 2017, festivals and<br />
concert venues around the world<br />
have stepped up security, making<br />
transparent bags mandatory.<br />
Several brands have taken the opportunity<br />
to design their own take on<br />
this safety feature so you can showcase<br />
your stuff in style. As Grande<br />
says, “Having a clear bag ahead of<br />
time will for sure help things go as<br />
smooth as possible.”<br />
Whether it’s simple and seethrough,<br />
or colourful yet clear, just<br />
remember: it’s what’s inside that<br />
counts.<br />
1. adidas Originals Clear<br />
Festival Crossbody Bag<br />
With a slew of happy customer<br />
reviews under its belt, this bag is a<br />
frontrunner for the festival season.<br />
Fits all the essentials. Detachable,<br />
adjustable strap can go across the<br />
shoulder or be strung through belt<br />
loops like a DIY fanny pack. $45<br />
2. STIL exposé tote<br />
Designed by women and located<br />
in Vancouver, BC, STIL conflates<br />
clarity and organization. With goldtone<br />
hardware and leather trim, this<br />
sleek tote is diverse enough to take<br />
you from the festival circuit to a job<br />
interview. Or backstage at Orville<br />
Peck. $79<br />
3. Forever 21 Clear<br />
Vinyl Mini Backpack<br />
Go from Pride to Coachella to Shambhala<br />
and back again in this strappy<br />
and chromatic pack. Front zip pocket<br />
for gum and big zip compartment for<br />
fun. Stuff it with glow sticks at night<br />
time and stay lit. $19.99<br />
4. sweetener tour<br />
clear fanny pack<br />
Ariana Grande made clear bags<br />
available as merch for her new<br />
sweetener tour, and they are totally<br />
affordable. Shipping takes three to<br />
four weeks, so keep your festival<br />
dates in mind. This fanny pack is simple,<br />
small, and oh-so-retro. $10.43<br />
5. GUESS Dalia<br />
Lucite Backpack<br />
This faux-leather trimmed backpack<br />
is perfect for outdoor events. It’s<br />
roomy enough to fit a light sweater,<br />
water bottle, and snacks. Or stock<br />
up on merch, throw it in the pack,<br />
and stay hands free to dance like no<br />
one is watching. $38.99<br />
