Stay Hands-Free with SmarterGarter

While fanny packs are handy and offer hands-free convenience, there exists a more stylish alternative that keeps valuables close and secure.

The SmarterGarter is a new convertible, hands-free purse capable of stylishly carrying all your travel necessities.

You can use and wear the item in six unique ways — as a garter purse, a boot pocket, a yoga mat pocket, a hip pocket, a wallet and a leather garter.

Each SmarterGarter design includes a number of convenient features, such as a large, removable pocket capable of fitting most smartphones, including the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus; an external key ring for quick access to keys; an internal pocket for secure holding of ID and credit cards; four rows of hook-and-eye closures on military strength elastic for ultimate versatility; and vegan leather lined with soft anti-slip silicone strips to hug the wearer.

“Our collection embodies one basic principle. The intrinsic desire to be free. Free to move (dance, run, dodge, insert verb here), free to travel and explore, free to be distinctively unique and free to change our minds (and ensembles),” said Cara Cerutti Holmes, founder and inventor, SmarterGarter.

Prices start from $37.50, with several colors available.
