Acceptable bags include clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags that do not exceed the following dimensions: 12 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches (30.5cm x 15.24cm x 30.5cm). Small clutch purses no larger than 4.5 inches x 6.5 inches (11.43cm x 16.51cm) will also be permitted.
2. **Clear Visibility:** All bags brought into the event venue must be transparent and allow for easy visibility of their contents. This policy ensures efficient security checks and reduces the likelihood of prohibited items being brought into the venue.

5. **Security Screening:** All guests entering the event venue are subject to thorough bag checks and security screenings. This process is essential for maintaining a safe environment for all attendees and participants.
6. **Enforcement:** Kansas City Fashion Week reserves the right to deny entry to individuals who do not comply with the clear bag policy. Any prohibited bags discovered during security checks must be returned to the attendees vehicle, before entry into the event.
7. **Communication:** Kansas City Fashion Week will communicate the clear bag policy extensively through various channels, including event websites, social media platforms, email newsletters, and onsite signage. Guests are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the policy before attending.
8. **Cooperation:** We appreciate the cooperation of all guests in adhering to the clear bag policy. By complying with this policy, attendees contribute to the overall safety and success of Kansas City Fashion Week events.
