Sorry to hear it’s not feeling quite right to you. It is a gorgeous piece, but bumbags are so personal as they sit so close. I tried 3 different ones, the women’s one, two men’s, and ended up with a NIGO sling bag rather than a bum bag. I truly wear as a sling over my shoulder and not as a bumbag, though it functions the same way, but I had a really hard time find the exact one that fit, suited, the zipper was easy, not to big not too small. What I ended up with was absolutely perfect - I use it as my dog walking bag and didn’t want a huge piece that stuck out, needed an easy zip option, and didn’t want it to swing away from my body when walking fast or cleaning up after my fur kid. Yikes I’m picky
Sorry to hear about your post holiday funk, it can be a downer. I wish the bumbag had helped perk you up, but it sounds like it may not be your best fit, even as gorgeous as it is. And I too hate returning things to an SA, although online returns don’t bug me as much. Hope you figure it out - let us know. If anyone gets your dilemma we do!
