The Maxwell Hip Pouch is the newest addition to the Po Campo product family. It fits right in with its sisters because it is such a handy, practical and cute bag!

I first sketched up the Po Campo Maxwell Hip Pouch because I wanted something that would let me go “hands-free” during a photo shoot. After posting a photo of the first prototype on our facebook page, all of the comments convinced me to switch to a smaller, horizontal version (Big improvement – thank you!). The size is now perfect: it holds your wallet, keys, phone and lip balm. The essentials!

I use my Maxwell on an almost daily basis, for coffee or ice cream runs, leisurely bike rides or to visit one of Chicago’s many many summertime street festivals. But I’m not the only one who loves it! This email totally made my day:

“Received my hip pouch today and I am so pleased with it. It is a beauty. What a lovely pouch/purse. It has taken me 70 years to finally be stylish.  My thanks to po campo for a lovely product: material, workmanship, style.” – Jeanne, Cambridge MA

Even dogs like the Maxwell Hip Pouch, even if it doesn’t really work on their hips. Here is a sneak preview of our new Charcoal Wax Canvas that we are introducing this fall. A shout-out to PAWS Chicago for lending us Hobbes for our shoot. Chicagoans: Hobbes still needs a home!

There’s a story behind every Po Campo product name. Since hip pouches are perfect for going to street fairs or antique markets because you want your hands free to look at stuff, I named our hip pouch after Maxwell Street, a famous market in Chicago where both the Polish (sausage sandwich) and the Blues were born. How could you not name a hip pouch after a place like that?
