I’m not sure it’s lambskin. I’ll be interested to see what you think. It has a smooth feel but to hard to tell. I hope you get your delivery soon🙂Perfection!!! Congrats. It’s gorgeous and it looks perfect. Now if UPS comes through today I hope to be twins with you! I can’t wait to see if it’s lambskin, the website was … inconclusive
Thanks for telling me. I’m anxiously stalking UPS 🤓 follow on a Live map just popped up, but still might be awhile, I’ll let you know how mine feels - just hope it’s a perfect looking as yours!!
It arrived! The blue and yellow mini bum bag I got is great quality, Made in Italy, and really soft. The tag says calfskin, and I think it is. It feels different than my lambskin WOC. It smells great. It fits everything, but the straps aren’t perfect for my height, so I would need a strap extender to wear as a crossbody, and likely I would always wear it as a crossbody. It does hug the body really well.
The gold chain that comes with it is too long to adjust the leather part of the strap to a good crossbody length, and neither the leather strap nor the chain do crossbody alone 🙄 They also sewed down the second small leather piece that holds the end of the strap down. Is it that way on everyone’s mini bum bags? That piece usually slides to adjust, and I think it’s a mistake in manufacture. I’m truly the princess and the pea, but these days I’m trying to be brutally honest and return if I don’t absolutely love a bag, or anything else. Life is too short to live without almost perfect, and too short not to use our nice bags!
I’m going to sit with it a few days and decide if it is true love. I’m leaning towards no, but we shall see. It is a gorgeous cw. I’ve now tried 2 different mini bum bags and I’m thinking it’s maybe not the style for me.
Of course another bag is one I really wanted, more $$ of course and a totally different bag look and style!! I adore black and silver edgy bags, and this one has grabbed me since it dropped. I didn’t prefer it in mono reverse but the black and silver oh my 🖤🖤🖤 It is also calfskin, with a great chain! The shape and size is similar to the nano steamer and I’m LOVING that bag!! How’s that for a completely different direction? Decisions decisions.

I couldn’t make up my mind which one I wanted so I ended up ordering the Speedy as well. I’m bringing one back to LV tomorrow, probably the Speedy.
I’m curious - does your speedy tag say lambskin and your mini bum say calfskin as the primary leather? Website said mini bum was lambskin but tag says calfskin. And wondered if your two bags feel the same. For some reason, such a soft leather for a bum bag feels funny to me. I’m looking at it right now and it’s fabulous. I just can’t make up my mind.
Omg!!! I’ve been impatiently awaiting this delivery for you 😂
If you are torn and not sure I’m sure there is a better bag for you!! I did end up buying 2 LV pouchette extenders for my blue leather bumbag for the same reason. The mono was easier strap wise as you can use a wide variety of other straps. But the blues are hard to match. I must say that the colors on the bumbag are so pretty together and I love the look of blue and yellow 😍
We all spend way too much on our gorgeous bags to settle! If you love that black bag why not? 🤣
Btw that black is super edgy and way too cool!
Thank you!! I appreciate your impatient waiting on my behalf 🤓 it’s beautiful, the colors are stunning, the logo pops, and I know exactly the strap extender to get to make it perfect for crossbody. I love soft smooth leather, but I wonder if thinking of that as a bumbag is bothering me. And yes, the blue is hard to match. I had scads of straps and extenders that would work perfectly with mono.
I know, no settling will be done, but until I wear it how do I know and wearing it makes it mine and non-returnable. It’s sitting in my great room as I read so I can look at it and think about it. 😆 I’ve tried every chain, strap extender I can think of and can make it work, but the exact extender I need is only $35.
I also broadened my search from that black bag, to an H Evelyne tpm. There is a pink/purple called Magnolia I love, I must say if I had found one, doubts over, bum bag bye tpm hello. And I saw a gorgeous Tpm in Bleu France that is stunning too. And then the Pharrell surf line dropping - if one of those floral canvas keepalls had been an XS, I’d have one. I wish they had kept that in the lineup. I know the 25 would fit, but prefer a tad smaller.
Decisions decisions! And our HVAC system is getting a full replace this week, dang it’s more fun to buy bags than mechanical equipment that is vital for comfort but oh so not fun to spend on - that is multiple bags worth, in equipment I never see except in the smart thermostat. 😆😆😆 I know, not a problem, just lots of perseveration going on over here.
Congrats on your gorgeous new bumbag @DrTr! The blue and the yellow go perfectly together and the bag looks amazing. So happy you got one with great quality. It is so weird though that they can’t get the leather info right. From the pics it looks as if it’s smooth calf leather.
From reading your posts I feel as if you’re not completely happy with the bag, and that’s totally fine. Between the bumbag and the camera bag, I honestly feel the camera bag is more you. 100%! The black and silver with the sharp edges, giving it that edgy look is so you. The bumbag is gorgeous, don’t get me wrong but when you put pics of the two side by side, my choice would be the camera bag. And you said you have always been eyeing this from the start, so I feel you like this one more and also since you haven’t stopped thinking abt it. It’s a sign! And yes, life is definitely too short to settle so get the one that truely makes you happy, or even wait for it if it is the H tpm one.
Normally when you get a new bag, you’re so excited and move into it right away yeah? You want to use it and take it out. But you are already thinking maybe it’s a no, and leaving it there to look and think so to me it’s not meant to be. I know in the past when I visual a bag and get really excited, but when it arrives it doesn’t hit the expectations. Then I leave it there to think (already that’s a sign, and I come up with reasons why it won’t work for me),… and I eventually return it and go back to something else I was eyeing. I have also made the mistake of keeping and using the bag not often as it wasn’t me (lessons learned), so it is good to be honest to ourselves, 100%.
I hope I have somewhat helped in your decision making. You only received it so have plenty of time to think, but you should get what makes you happy and get what you set out to get!!

I understand exactly how you feel and hope it can sit there until you know or feel it one way or another. I did that with my ivy in dune. I hated the black strap so much with it. I was boxing it up to return when I just couldn’t let it go. I took it back out of the box of course and put it back in the closet with a different strap 😂
That Evelyn in tpm in Magnolia is probably gorgeous!! I love the Evelyn bag. It’s such a versatile bag and perfect for dog walking 😍
House repairs are so not fun but hvac is essential so 🤣
I hope you find exactly what makes your heart happy Drtr 🥰
