  "summary": "The Verge reports on a new crossbody phone strap that has gained popularity among Europeans and young people. The strap, designed by Peak Design, is described as a fun and youthful way to carry a phone, adding a stylish touch to outfits, particularly when paired with athleisure wear. The reviewer, who is a Target Circle member, appreciates the added thrill of having a $700 investment close to their waist while walking down the street, despite the potential for self-consciousness. The strap is noted for its seamless integration into the reviewer's wardrobe, which consists mainly of Tevas and Target leggings.",
