The Bum Bag story and Top list

Okay, Let’s talk about one of the biggest bag trends of the moment…

the BUM BAG.

The handsfree bag trend is not going anywhere, as our society carry just their phone, and need both hands for texting, duhhhh…!

WHERE IT ALL BEGUN

We are all nostalgic about the 90s right? We all want to bring back those fun years of freedom and dancing. Although the most iconic trends of the 90s, Bum Bags actually stemmed back from the ancient times, it is sure that even the ice men wore bags around their waist. These bags have been around for almost 5000 years. It was originally designed to wear around the waist, but now we see it slung across the body or worn over the shoulder.

Though always designed for practicality, the Bum Bag didn’t have a red-carpet moment until the 1980s (complimenting the iconic mom jeans). Not long after big brands like Chanel & Vogue gave their recognition featuring them in their advertisements.

These are now seen everywhere, from festivals (well when we were allowed to go) to work bags in the city life of London. Seen on sisters Kim and Kendall, to Leonardo Dicaprio elevating this trend.

And now… our take on this trend, a selection of bumbags crafted from Italian leather and available in a variety of colours!

Luna – the oversized bumbag

The name Luna is the Italian word for “moon”: we picked this name because its shape is reminiscent of a moon slice. This large bumbag is so versatile that you’ll be able to wear it in many ways. Throw it back and wear it like a backpack, or if you dare, at the front like a statement bumbag. You can even use it as a shoulder bag and, if not completely filled, Luna will look like a slouchy bag thanks to its soft leather.

This bag features two frontal zips that open to a bin and a smaller compartment and pockets inside too! So even if it doesn’t look very big, it has a great capacity (size: 33 × 5 × 18 cm).  Luna is available in Tan, Black, Dark Brown, Dark Grey, Army Green, Blush, Mustard, Navy and Taupe. This is our only oversized bumbag at the moment.

Lunetta – a classic-shaped bumbag and also Luna smaller sister!

This one we’re sure will never go out of fashion. Lunetta takes her name from her big sister Luna, and it’s a smaller, normal-sized version of the previous bumbag. Both have this peculiar half-moon shape, and the word luna is Italian for “moon”. The high-quality leather and vintage feel of this leather bumbag make it perfect for your everyday looks. The design features a main compartment with zip and the adjustable belt that makes it quite a versatile little bag. You can choose to wear it as a bumbag or like a small shoulder bag. Inside it is lined with cotton and has a small pocket as well. Its dimensions are 33 × 5 × 18 cm. Lunetta is available in Tan, Black, Dark Brown, Dark Grey, Army Green, Blush, Mustard, Navy and Taupe.

Alex, small leather bumbag for him or her!

If you have been looking for a small leather bumbag and have been unlucky, Alex is just the perfect match. Don’t let the appearance fool you. This leather belt bag might be compact but it has plenty of compartments for all your belongings. In fact it features a main compartment secured with zip, a zipped front pocket for smaller items, and another front pocket with button, for things you need immediate access to. On the back there’s another small pocket – because you can never have too many. The belt can be adjusted in length thanks to a few distanced holes for full flexibility. The high-quality leather and vintage feel of this leather bumbag make it perfect for your everyday looks. The classic design meets a minimalist and essential feel. Suits both men and women thanks to the timeless and minimalist design. Alex is available in our classic colours Tan, Taupe, Black, Dark Grey, Dark Brown, Army Green, Blush, Bordeaux, Mustard, Navy.
