Thoughts on Bumbag?

[AlyceG]

I actually love it! Looks good and love the idea of being hands free. I would never wear it though as I'm way too fat for something like that.

And same in Australia - fanny = vagina. Is it only in North America that fanny means bum?

Please don’t tell me Lv produced this because celebrities like Kendall Jenner was seen wearing fake ones? I’m kind of glad that it’s priced so high because I would hate to see this on everyone.

Not my cup of tea, and really I don’t need something around the belly to make me look unnecessarily bigger. the ring at the bottom also looks weird, and so not worth the price.

 

[Bumbles]

I agree. Not my cup of tea either. Great for my wallet

 

[Phillyfan]

I think it will do very well!

I don’t understand how there is such a massive price difference for this? In the US it’s marketed at $1500 and in the UK it’s £1030 ....

WOW, that's huge! Plus VAT if I buy one there.

Someone please go buy one and post pictures, would love to see someone demo it. Sorry, I won't be the first one to buy it.

 

[LVteacher]

I think not.

Ew is pretty much the only thing that comes to mind with this. Not a fan of the fanny pack at all.... I grew up in the 90's and that is all I think when I see this bag.

That’s a very small price difference if you don’t consider the VAT. Only $60.

If I remember correctly, prices in UK includes VAT. Prices in US does not include sales tax. So depending on where you live in the US, price difference can be around $60 to $190 (if you purchase this bag in NYC). That’s not accounting if you get a detax at the airport at Heathrow for probably 15-17% back when all said and done. That’s why it always “pays” to shop in Europe!

 

[happygirl78]

Yeah... that’s a big fat no for me. All I think of is fat old tourists...

You are so right! I kick myself for nothing buying anything when I was visiting many cities in Europe a few years ago, but at that time I wasn't interested in bags

Why so much hate for this piece? It’s a pretty simple design, no embellishments, just a practical “bumbag”. Some clients like and use those. There is a lot of demand for these from people who have shoulder/back problems. I have seen much more visually-offensive designs coming out of LV’s ateliers lately.

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 ...

I don't understand the hate either. It's a simple design, not garish at all in my opinion. But not everyone can pull off a fanny pack and look chic, so maybe that's it...

I am sure it will be a hot seller, almost every fashion house has one now.

A bum bag ... so it’s a fanny pack right I could use it while wearing my mom jeans and driving my groovy mini van ... just kidding, not my style no matter what they call it.

I’m not sure how I feel about this fanny pack trend, but I wouldn’t buy this — at least for now. I thinks this is a rather high price for a trendy piece. If I decided to buy a luxury fanny pack, I’d probably go for the Gucci Marmont Flap in the Supermini size, because it can be worn several ways and will still be useful once the trend is over. But the truth is that’s I’d probably just buy a high street fashionable version of a fanny pack and have fun with it while it’s trendy.
