How long did you guys wait for yours? I’m nervous about having to wait 9months! Especially since they got rid of the waitlist now I have no way of gauging how long it will take.

I don’t know where you live but I didn’t wait at all for mine. I was in the store talking to my CA about the bag and she pulled out her iPad and said there’s 23 available ( this was 2 weeks ago) , do you want one ? It was shipped to me and I got it the next week.
PS- The Vegas stores have been posting on Instagram that they have some .

Question for bumbag owners. I recently watched a review where one of the "cons" was that the bag can get hot on a hot day against the body and maybe a little sweaty - then the fear of color transfer from clothing to the vachetta from said sweat.

I just moved to Texas and run hot anyway. I love the bumbag and have it on my radar for Christmas - but now I'm concerned. I was excited to go hands and care free with this bag but I know if I find the bag hot and it makes me sweaty I'll rarely wear it. My other consideration is a mono speedy 30b. I know the speedy is a classic but I'm really drawn to the Bumbag and I think it's my first choice other than the heat concern.

Any thoughts are welcome!

I found the same to be true. I was worried about the strap when I wore it on a hot summer day. I happen to have a long thin scarf with me which I wrapping around the strap to protect it. But I assume I will only need to protect it until it patinas evenly then I wouldn't worry as much about it. It also made me think to wear the bumbag more often in the Fall months before I take it out in the hotter months again.

So I just ordered the bumbag. I’ve never tried it on so I’m not completely sure about the bag how it will look on me. When I look at it on IG I love it! I like the idea of hands free and seems to really hold a lot. Anyone love the bag or dislike it and why?!? Thank you!

Here is a lot of information in the forum about the Bumbag. I think there is nothing between - you love it or you hate it. First I didn't like it, but I always need time to get used to new styles (I'm the woman which buys the trends of last year - always ;-)). I tried it in the Mono Giant red and fell in love - it is cool and so practical. But because the Mono Giant was too loud for me and because I'm afraid of Vachetta I ordered the My World Tour Bumbag with the black trim and just 1 sticker in the back. I have to wait for it, but I know I'll love it.
Have a look on Youtube, Minks4all is great and she bought the Bumbag a few weeks ago, she has very informative reviews and 2 videos on the Bumbag.
I believe you will love this bag :-)

Still don't know if I want the bumbag or speedy b25. Have not tried both but bumbag seems not as popular as speedy which I like. I'm looking forward to hear your opinion and waiting for the pics :smile:

I tried on the speedyb 25 and I was really unsure about it! It just seemed a bit bulky to me. I would only wear the speedyb 25 crossbody or on one shoulder. I wouldn’t carry it handheld. To me if your going to carry a speedy by the handle the 30 looks better to me. I really like all the ways you can wear the bumbag and I like the pocket in the back of it as well. I will post a review of what I think and pics when I get it.

Dang girl, you are racking up bags lately!

I think it looks cute on tall skinny influencers but don't think it really translates into real world wear.

I’m really on the fence about this one! There isn’t one at my local store to try on. I’ll see how it looks on me, hope I’m not disappointed. I’m working from home now. So my look is becoming more casual and I think the bumbag is not a dressy bag. I’m actually starting to tire of bags that are handheld or totes. I’m starting to lean towards more bags that allow me to be hands free but yet aren’t bulky bags.

I had the mono one but it was very bulky on me. I tried wearing it on my shoulder but it was still bulky. It sticks out as a waist bag too. I’m not very tall, so that might be why.
I have the Speedy25 B but rarely wear it. I think the smaller empriente style bum bag might stick out less.

@Carrieshaver My fellow work from home forumer (is that a word?) Haha. I agree I'm so casual for over two years now as working full time at home has made me love my pajamas more. The last time Ive been to the mall was last year and I rarely buy clothes which means more money for accessories. I used to have the discovery bumbag in eclipse but returned it, due to the fact that I have other bumbags that were black sans the exorbitant price point. It was a beautiful and roomy bag, but too expensive. That's why I'm stalking the PS PM backpack now instead of the bumbag. But show us pictures once you get it! Congrats!
