Kathy Dow Discovers

Yes, finally you can leave home without it:  your purse or wallet, that is.

What exactly is that on my wrist that I’m slipping my keys and ID in and out of?  Good question.  The answer: It’s a bangees wrist wallet.

How many times do you need to run out quickly and only need  your ID, money and keys?  Now on the market is the “banjees” wrist wallet.  It’s a zippered wrist pouch that carries those necessities and leaves you hands free.

When do you use it?  Glad you asked.  How about when you go to the gym? Is it necessary to take your handbag or wallet into the locker room where it can be subject to unsavory type action? (Hey, come one, it happens even at the best of gyms).

Here’s what I need when I go to the gym:  NOTHING.  My gym ID is attached to my key chain, so all I need is to hold onto my car keys.   If I want to buy a smoothie or a bottle of water, I can slip a few dollars into the Banjee.  The bangees can hold a key, ID, and a few bucks nicely; sometimes even a small cellphone.

It’s a one size fits all, slip over your wrist, lightweight, four inch wallet that can be tucked unnoticably under your shirt sleeve during a dark walk up to the local bodega or how about when you go to an amusement park, or a walk to the dairy queen?  What about walking your dog early in the  morning?  Jogging?   You decide.  Bangees is the answer to discreet concealment of your personals.

The banjees come in  different color options and they’re reversible so that you actually get two for one. There are solids (the manly colors) and fashion prints.   Of course for the stylish women there’s a bangee with a gold, silver or rhinestone jewelry accent so it looks like you’re wearing jewelry.

Bangees are made by an apparel accessory company in Mt. Kisco, New York, which also designs the #1 brand of bandless ear warmers.  I met company representatives at the Holiday Gift Guide Show where they were hoping to get the bangees on shopping lists for the holidays. Great gift idea isn’t it?
