Back in 2018, the bum bag trend made a huge comeback. Since then, a wide selection of bum bag styles has been available on both the high street and luxury designer scenes, with the Louis Vuitton handbag collection being no exception to this. The LV bum bag, in our opinion, is definitely one of the most favourable options available.
Let’s face it, despite the geeky feel the bumbag look has to it, there is no denying that it is an extremely practical and comfortable bag solution. It can fit the basic daily necessities (think phone, money, keys, a packet of tissues and one or two other small items), and is a great solution if you have a no-pocket outfit or are looking to carry a bag handsfree.
Thankfully, the revival of the fanny pack trend has also greatly reduced the cringe factor that previously came along with it. It’s safe to say that Louis Vuitton have managed to completely eliminate any sort of cringe with the extremely chic LV bumbag.
Louis Vuitton Bum Bag Design
The LV Bumbag is banana-shaped and is made out of monogram coated canvas. It features a leather top handle, a “Louis Vuitton Paris” leather patch, a gold metallic D-ring, and an adjustable leather belt strap.
The interior is lined with cotton canvas and has one main compartment with a double gold metallic zip closure. The bumbag also features a zippered pocket at the back.
Overall, the Louis Vuitton Bumbag looks extremely on-trend and has a casual yet chic feel to it. Besides being worn as a bumbag, it also looks great when worn crossbody or over the shoulder.
Louis Vuitton Bum Bag Dimensions
The LV Bumbag can comfortably fit a number of items, with dimensions of 37 cm x 14 cm x 13 cm / 14.6″ x 5.5″ x 5.1″.
Meanwhile, the belt strap can be adjusted between 85 cm and 128 cm / 33.5″ and 50.4″.
Louis Vuitton Bum Bag Price
When it was first released, the LV Bumbag retailed for $1,500 / €1,100 / £995. Given its success, Louis Vuitton has continuously raised the price of the bumbag and it currently retails for $1,690 / €1,250 / £1,170.
In general, the Louis Vuitton bumbag is actually priced quite fairly when compared to other canvas bags by Louis Vuitton. When comparing it to other luxury designer bumbags, it is way cheaper than a Chanel bumbag (which would set you back ~$3,000 for a lambskin leather one), and slightly pricier than a Gucci bumbag (which would cost you ~$1,000 for a smaller GG Supreme Canvas bumbag).
Where to Buy the Louis Vuitton Fanny Pack
Directly via Louis Vuitton
Since its release, the LV Bum Bag has been quite tricky to get ahold of, with buyers having been placed on waitlists for up to four months. That being said, Louis Vuitton do restock them on their website but sell out extremely quickly. You might also be lucky enough to find one in store if demand isn’t high where you are located.
