I have two of them, the Empreinte one and the Mono Giant. I‘ve had the MWT, too with the black trim, but sold this one because two dark Bumbags were too much for me. I love this style, so for me two are ok
If the black leather was available when I bought my bum bag I definitely would’ve picked it over vachetta. It would increase its wearability much more. Even wearing my vachetta in the summer as a crossbody I worry about sunscreen and sweat ruining it so forget rain and snow. My other option would be to buy preloved where the vachetta is already has an even patina and much less likely to stain unevenly.
I am looking at the wave and the mono. Exactly my dilemma on the mono because I like the black wave best, so the mwt with black would also be dark. Though i think the wave looks different enough - less casual than the mono, so maybe the strap won’t matter too much.
So glad to hear I’m not the only one loving bum bags haha. They are really my Favorite style. So functional and stylish. I was hesitant at first because of bum bags in the 80s and how they went out of style, but i think these new bags are so versatile, especially wearing across the chest, that they will be a classic. If not I’ll just not be cool and wear them anyways haha.
Of course! Why not. It’s like having 2 speedies or 2 nevefulls,
Dont forget to post when you have pics
I like the wave noir. It’s gorgeous and with the lv on the front too, I love it and it’s such nice leather too.. Don’t see many people with it, so will be very unique. I think some celebrities have it though. It’s smaller size then the mono. I want to buy one for travel, but bc we can’t go overseas now, I will hold off buying one til we can go again which might be a while.
Oh I didn’t even think about sunscreen and hot summer days! Another thing to worry about . Do you do the patina champ method to keep your bag clean?
i did considered the preloved mono, but found most to be too dark in patina. Victoria’s (patina champ) bags stay a honey patina after 5 years. She says the dark honey happens if it isn’t maintained: vachetta maintained should never go that dark. I don’t like the dark honey look and the patina method seems pretty easy... but not sure if it would help with oil, like hand cream or sun screen. Lol vachetta is a lifestyle... don’t know if I’m cut out for it!
My store only had the wave and not the mono, so I got to try it on. And yes, it’s smaller. Held about the same as my PS mini. That’s why I am wanting the mono too because I’d use it more for work/being out with kids. The logo really pops and elevates any outfit. Even with sweats! It dresses up super nice too. I agree the size would be good for travel where you don’t want to haul as much stuff. Mono maybe good for Disneyland trip with kids lol. So happy to hear you are a wave fan too. It really is not common on Instagram, so wasn’t sure if sold well.
I find bum bags are the perfect bag for covid. I have a Patagonia bum bag that I’ve only been wearing for the last 4 months because I want to be hands-free.
I have the MWT bumbag with vachetta. I guess I picked that instead of the black leather because I have the palm springs backpack and also don’t have issues with vachetta aging naturally.
I didn’t use the patina champs method on my bum bag. I used Apple guard and it has kept the Vachetta a nice honey color so far. I’ve had my bum bag doe almost two two years now.
I managed to find it at the corner of the back interior zipper compartment.
silly me as I keep looking for it in the front pocket.Sharing pic of my new buy over the weekend.
No chance to use it since it has been raining over past few days.
My first intention is to purchase the monogram or the monogram empreinte but both oos and I ccould not view these in actual. Luckily this piece is avail and viewing it, my hubby nudged me to get this instead since the color is very striking and unique. We can share carrying it as well.. though I find the color a bit loud and no really my style. I also worried about the vachetta straps ever since it has been raining past few days heavily. In my country, sudden rains is common and now wondering if I should return itfor monogram empreinte which is slightly smaller but carefree. Surprising the pricing for monogram empreinte is less than this print version too.
This is gorgeous and definitely a stand out colour that not everyone will have. Yours is very uniqueI managed to find it at the corner of the back interior zipper compartment.

Thank you, yes I agreed the colors really pop and I do not see many ppl here carrying this version except monogram. I just worried about the rains here and I actually scared to use it due to the strap.
