Trendhim: Lazy Bear Backpack & Bum bag Review
When I was approached by the male accessory brand Trendhim my first thought was… but I’m a her? Am I allowed to shop here? Curious I explored further quickly coming to the realisation that there was plenty to tempt me. While some of the products are geared towards male shoppers their bag range offers a great selection, especially for outdoorsy folk wanting to look as chic on the hillside as they do on the high street. If, like me, you’re wondering who Trendhim are read on to find out…
Who are Trendhim?

These guys sure are going places.
Lannie Brown Foldable Backpack by Lazy Bear
£59
About – Water resistant backpack able to adapt to both work and adventure. Super lightweight with a fold away design in the inner pocket allowing the whole bag to pack down when not needed. Includes a large main compartment and deep outer pocket that are both secured with zippers. The inner pocket holds the folded backpack and works as storage for valuables when wearing a backpack. Complete with adjustable straps and a detachable tag. Designed in Denmark for Lazy Bear.
Thoughts – I love this bag! In the month since I’ve received it I’ve taken it on a very wet hiking weekend in Wales (kept everything dry) and used it countless times on trips to the shops and cafes. It’s really versatile meaning that it works well as an adventure bag yet is also the perfect shape for carrying my laptop, notepad and even shopping. I’m always losing my keys, purse and phone in bigger, bulky bags but this has a fab zip pocket on the front where I can easily access these essentials. I’m a big fan. Thumbs up.
£39
About – Lightweight bum bag fitted with 4 zipped pockets perfect for stashing your phone, keys and change. The adjustable strap allows the bag to be worn either around the wait or across the chest (festival style). Again, like it’s big bro the bag folds neatly away in the inner zipped pocket making it easy to pack or store away. Water-resistant and designed in Denmark for Lazy Bear.
Thoughts – I haven’t used this as much as I have the back pack, I’m not really in the habit of using a bum bag for hikes etc so it’s all a bit new! However, the bag is really sleek, well made and light weight. Despite being compact there’s plenty of space for phone, keys and even quite a big purse. I can imagine my dog walker friends would find this bag perfect for holding treats along with other doggy paraphernalia. Cute, practical and deceptively spacious.
With thanks to Trendhim for gifting these products for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
