It seems like a person has need of two kinds of things to carry about- true both sexes. One set is money, credit cards and other good “stealables”. The other set is functional tools that we need in the course of a day – like umbrella’s, briefcases, etc. These are things that are valuable to us but have generally low “street value”. There, of course, is likey to be some overlap between these two groups, but hopefully it will be mostly manageable. One wallet takes care of the fgirst set, usually. This need to be attached to the person securely, leaving hands free. A real pocket in pants, shirt or jacket can do the job here. A fanny pack would serve as an add-on container. Most men have plenty of secure options in their clothing. Women less so, but noone forces women to wear pocketless appareal, clothing styles can and will follow demand. The other stuff can be carried in any sort of bag because it isn’t generally worth stealing and if stolen it’s an inconvenience not a trauma. Backpacks, large handbags, grocery bags, etc., all suffice.
