I think it’s cute. I won’t wear it myself but I can see many people will wear and enjoy it.
It looks like something that my dad would wear (I think my dad’s norm core style is great—he is my role model for being someone comfortable with themselves even when criticized for being a nerd/geek/have a dull style). This will look great with the LV sneakers as well.
If someone has this to add to their personal style, why not? It’s actially useful for people who cannot wear the typical bag due to some physical limitations or have to have their hands free all the time. This will be practical for many people.

I LOVE it. Not this particular bag itself, but the fact that LV is releasing luxury "waist bags" at a competitive price. I've been looking for a luxury waist bag for years. I travel extensively and during my off times when I want to just take my camera and go, I want a nice waist bag that I can just put a few things; but I don't want the old nylon waist bags from the 80s-90s that tourists used to use. Also, using Speedys or Pochette Accessories with straps turns it into a crossbody, which isn't bad per se. But just sometimes in the summer, I want to be as hands free as possible.
-Chanel released waist bags for $3K! Yes, leather...I get it.
-LV didn't have any.
-And finally Gucci released many. I went with Gucci. I LOVE Gucci's selections.
-Now LV is on the map. I'm certain in future seasons they'll release other waist bags...perhaps with a strap that's not vachetta, or a male bag that doesn't have bright neon writing.
I'm here for it.
Actually LV recently started to release bumbags. Mostly for men. This LV x Supreme version was last fall/ winter version that was released in July. Most guys wear their bumbags this way now. They don’t actually wear it on their waists (of course there are exceptions). They have release epi version except now there is a huge logo instead of the word Supreme written across the bag. I’m hoping they would release one with a small LV logo in epi. I’m already spending a ton of money with LV, I don’t want to do more marketing on their behalf for free! 
No matter what you call them, fanny pack, belly pack, bum bag or a belt bag, these little guys have always caught hell in the fashion world. I can't say they actually look good on anyone, but I don't think that is really the idea. I don't care for the look either, but there's no way I would go somewhere like Disney World without one. I don't wear jeans or shorts with a ton of pockets so that basically leaves me with a fanny pack. I already tried a small crossbody and it did not work for me at all. I ride all the rides and I get turned upside down and inside out on some of them. I need something secure and hands free and a small fanny pack works perfectly for me. I would rather look like a dork and be able to enjoy myself rather than look fashionable and constantly stress over trying to deal with a bag of some sort.
Yeah i don’t understand why so much hate for this bag. I got a toddler and a 2 weeks old baby. I can imagine this to be so useful for my lifestyle. From going to the zoo, picnic, playgrounds to riding bicycle with my child. Also I will be picking up the toddler, bending down to pick up items throw away by the toddler, wiping stains.... a crossbody will swing around and a shoulder bag maybe in the way. This is good imo ...
Yes, it must have something to do the the fanny. I can totally relate.Does it happen once every month?
(We feel you)
I have never liked the silhouette of these when worn as belts, even on lovely thin people- they are distracting and not in a good way. So I would never spend this kind of money on a luxury brand version of this kind of accessory. I once had one (I think made by the North Face in a synthetic material) in medical school for carrying around implements and it was handy but I hated the way it looked and it just felt awkward at times. I guess in a pinch or for travel, maybe but not for me.
Hmmm so we ladies have tried for years to keep our dark jeans from turning our vachetta blue and LV’s answer to that is to create a bag with a vachetta strap that attaches directly near the waist band of your jeans. I don’t see the logic here!
If this comes out in Epi indigo (sans visible logo) or Empreinte marine blue, I'll have a closer look.
