I remember that I was getting ready to spend Christmas in New York City when I realized I didn’t have a practical bag for the trip. I wanted something light, easy to access, and secure for my essentials without constantly worrying about pickpockets. It also had to be cute and stylish. That’s when the idea of a bumbag came to mind. I liked them a lot when they were trendy, but I never felt the need to get one until this trip.
Why did I choose it? Initially, I had the Louis Vuitton monogram bumbag in mind, but I wasn’t sure about pairing the monogram canvas with my winter outfits. For some reason, I always felt that type of canvas was more suited for spring-summer seasons, minus the rain. Then I found this men’s Gucci bumbag and fell in love. It was everything I was looking for, and the price was really good. The rest is history.
Features: This stunning bumbag is made from exquisite navy blue velvet, printed with the Supreme GG logo. It features the iconic red and blue strap in the middle and the GG logo in an antique gold effect. The interior is made of white cotton and includes a zipped compartment. I’d like to highlight that this bumbag is quite large, making it look great when worn across the chest. The thick, adjustable black nylon strap adds to its appeal and practicality. Additionally, as with all vintage bags, its hardware is plated with 24K gold.
Where did I buy it? I bought it on Vinted without the authentication process. Since I have many years of experience dealing with luxury and vintage bags, I felt confident to proceed. The bag was shipped to me with the original box, dust bag, and invoice. The price point was excellent, and the bag was in pristine condition. Sometimes you can’t think twice when you see opportunities like this.
Cons: None, it’s perfect. Well, if you ask me again, I would say that you need to be careful to avoid damaging the fabric, like with any other bag.
Would I purchase it again? Of course! This bag was my savior on my trip to New York. It was so easy to handle and elevated all my outfits instantly because it’s so edgy and classic at the same time. So, if you are on the hunt for a precious bumbag, then you should strongly consider men’s Gucci bumbags. They are often cheaper than women’s and slightly bigger, so they can be worn more comfortably around the chest.
As a final advice, I always recommend finding reputable sources for contemporary or vintage bags like Vestiaire Collective, eBay, or Vinted, as they can authenticate your bags and verify if the seller’s description matches the bag’s condition.
