Bumbag in monogram discontinued?

[nolv711]

I have been on the fence deciding if I want to purchase one. Can anyone share the known flaws? Trying to decide if I should put in the time to score one online or at least contact the concierge. Also wondering if they will end up releasing an updated version.

Due to the scarcity of the bag, it already feels like it's been discontinued. I wonder if a revamp will be released or if they just don't want to deal with the issue anymore.

it’s the cracking on the side of the bumbag when you kind of fold it in at the top. If you go and YouTube they discuss it there and show you where. It’s a hit and miss but definitely know issue. Some have it some don’t so hard to know. That’s been my pet worry when deciding to buy this bag or not

My SA texted me a few weeks ago to let me know one came in store and thought I would like it. I had never considered it before, but I’m glad I bought it! My life is so casual these days, I think it’s going to be one of my most used bags.

Hands down my most used bag. I had to return the one made in Spain due to wrinkles in the handle but managed to buy one online in December, MIF and it’s perfect. I use it ALL the time.

Cross body in front. I forget it’s there when I’m driving.

Thanks for the info. I’ll check out YouTube.

I’ve always wanted this to be worn like a sling bag. Front and back.

Not as this moment.

I think LV is seeking to discontinue as many canvas bags as possible. The bumbag is low hanging fruit. The zipper design can be problematic and it’s more of a trend piece.

Over the next few years I expect we will see many more canvas bags discontinued. For example, I think there is a good chance the neverfull will no longer be available in canvas. I think the bumbag is just the start.

It's funny you say this. My main CA said something to this effect to me once, in an off-handed kind of way. She keeps things close to the vest so I didn't press, and to be honest, I thought maybe I misunderstood her (like, maybe she was saying that eventually LV wants to prioritize leather in all styles, which is a different thing than discontinuing canvas across styles).

But where we see LV moving way from its storied roots, who knows, LV market research is probably more focused on how to capture market share from Chanel and Hermes on the handbag front and from Van Cleef & Arpels and others on the jewelry front.

If anyone in Europe is looking for it there was stock available on the website 3 or 4 days this week.

Another one bites the dust. Don't worry. It will re-emerge as some sort of hybrid in coming seasons at 2x the price....

This is such a bummer!!! I love my bum bag!! I will definitely order a World Tour version before it goes away… I don’t think I can live without this bag.

currently at my feet right now on a flight home… it was the perfect bag to walk around NYC with. Well, it could be just a smidge bigger.
