Gucci belt bag fan here! It’s a trendy item for sure and pairs great with the whole athleisure wear trend kick (which I am into at the moment). I think the leather version also allows the bag to be carried when I want to be more dressy and the oval shape is a modern take on the bag. Love how it’s styled with blazers and dresses on IG.
I prefer the belt bags rather than the traditional fanny packs because it is versatile (IMO). I have the Gucci marmont belt bag in black. The color is easy to pair with since it goes with everything. I can take the belt off and use the pouch alone as a pretty clutch or use it as a pouch inside a larger bag. It works beautifully as a proper clutch due to the shape and size (much dressier than a LV toiletry or Chanel o case) and I have both. I can also use the belt separately as a belt if I wanted (though I haven’t tried). So when the trend is over, I still have an item that I can continue to use.
I think the price is reasonable (to me) when I consider the different uses of the bag. I also considered the super mini marmont (which I still love) since it can be worn as a waist bag, crossbody and as a clutch. But I already have several mini bags that serve the same purpose (Chanel minis, woc, dior pouchette) and really didn’t care that it could be worn as a Long crossbody. So I opted for the belt bag since I want to be able to carry it over the shoulder, higher on my waist or lower on my waist.
No regrets at all. Love how I am truly hands free. I carried it during my recent trip to Hawaii and it was perfect. I plan to pair my belt bag with my Gucci ace this spring/summer and rock it!
I saw the bipolar max video mentioned above and loved it, especially the Chanel, but it’s above my comfort level price wise. She totally rocked it!
