Hey guys, I just got my bag!!! I have a question about the inside lining in the back zipper pocket. I noticed I am able to see the stitching where you normally don’t. Can anyone else confirm theirs looks like this? I took 2 photos below:

Front pocket with no stitches showing

Back pocket where you see the stitches, it looks like they forgot to flip it the other way?

As for the overall bag, I find it’s not super easy to get into the main pocket because the lip of it is actually padded and the bag itself is slim. The padding makes the bag kinda squishy and huggable I must say. The way it lays on the body reminds me of the men’s line bumbags how they’re also flatter. I like how it’s a grab and go kinda bag which is what I do with my MPA, it fits everything I put in the MPA. While trying it on, I kept the back pocket unzipped for my phone so getting it in and out was easy. Thinking about it some more, even though it’s not super easy to get into the main pocket, that’s really okay since I mainly go in my bag for my phone.

I am leaning towards keeping it but will think about it. Anyways, here are a few more pics for y’all!

I need to push the top in to reach inside. Also a pic with the original bumbag zipper, the new one has giant zipper - pretty cute

thank you for posting these pics! the vachetta around the zipper looks like it's finished quite nicely . when i first saw stock photos i was not sure about that but yours looks really nice. i am actually liking this bag more and more. i do worry about the light color lining. wonder if there will be a bag organizer for this one anytime soon. good to know about the back zipper access for the phone : )

I received mine on Saturday and wondered the same about the lining on the back pocket. I'm surprised they finished it with the seam exposed. I've seen videos of other peoples bag and the back pocket is just like mine and yours. I thought they had sewn it inside out but apparently it's just how they finished the back pocket. Kinda strange and messy in my opinion but I absolutely love the bag anyway!

I have like 4 LV guitar straps and an extra vachetta one from an old Palermo GM I sold (but kept the long strap). I can’t wait to play around with different straps to see which looks best! Plus someone just posted a mono adjustable thick strap with the mini version in the mini bum bag thread and it looks really good…..maybe will look into that one too. While I am getting kinda sick of all the guitar straps I do LOVE the ability to change out the straps on many of LVs bags. I mix and match them all.

I feel you, every time I see a guitar strap, it’s like again? But when I buy a bag with the guitar strap, I’m so happy to swap things in and out. LOL

What bag has the thin mono adjustable strap? I’ve only seen it by itself a few years ago no the site.

I picked mine up on release day. I've carried it several times and love it. I know the guitar strap isn't for everyone, but the fact that you can change straps is exactly what I wanted. I have been wearing mine crossbody, more on the hip which is where I will always wear it. I don't think it holds as much as the original style given it's flat, more stretched design. I supposed I could try to overstuff, but for me, I cut down to a wallet, keys, lipstick, two smallest kiragamis, and my phone which is all I need. For what it's worth, I have been stopped and told how much people love my bag.

I do like the idea of swapping out the straps, I haven’t tried one with this bag yet.

Glad it’s not a defect, I mean if it was it’s not a big deal since it’s inside but if you were to ever resell it, not sure if anyone would buy it. I do love the bag, I am thinking she’s a keeper!

I didn’t like the vachetta around the zipper in the pics but in person it’s quite nice. Looking at it closer, it actually reminds me of the denim collection. I like how that gives me old school vibes but also the cool/casual look it has.

For those who received their bum bags do you see this creasing on the back of your bags? I worry that this will get worse and the bag will start to crack....

Funny you mention this. I noticed that tonight when I tried it on again. I think it came in the box bent that way since it wasn’t on the other end. I see yours is bent on both sides, was it sent in box too small for the bag? I was also thinking will this crack in the future. This canvas is softer…so maybe it wouldn’t? Only time will tell.

Do you have the OG? I thought this one would be easier to open?
