With so many benefits and great options to choose from, what’s not to love about ultra-luxury belt bags? In the world of Louis Vuitton belt bags, or bumbags as they’re known, three styles surely come to mind.
Louis Vuitton has quite a portfolio of ultra-luxury belt bags, including some discontinued and newly released items. These LV bumbags are all highly sought after and unique in their own ways. From the classic Louis Vuitton Monogram Bumbag, the OG that started it all, to its petite successor, the Mini Monogram Bumbag, and the reimagined Monogram High Rise Bumbag. This post uncovers sizing, unique features, and the various ways these Louis Vuitton bumbags can be worn.
The Louis Vuitton Monogram Bumbag Is The OG of Bumbags
Launched in 2018 and sadly discontinued in 2022, the classic Louis Vuitton Bumbag was an iconic bumbag in the Louis Vuitton belt bag collection. It’s made of the distinguished monogram-coated canvas and vachetta leather trim, which is famously used across its monogram bag collections. The bag has a top handle, a D-ring at the bottom, an exterior back zip pocket, and an adjustable belt for convenience. Inside, there’s a single roomy compartment accessed via two zipper pulls. This stylish bag can also be found in various colors and materials.

The Hotly Anticipated Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Bumbag
Launched in early June 2023, the Louis Vuitton Mini Bumbag is no doubt tinier than the OG. The Monogram Mini Bumbag features the classic monogram-coated canvas, vachetta leather trim, and comes with an adjustable and detachable belt strap. The Mini LV Bumbag also includes a shorter removable metal chain strap. Unlike its larger counterpart, the Mini Bumbag has a small front zip pocket rather than an exterior back zip pocket. Inside, you’ll find a single compartment accessible with a single zipper pull. The Louis Vuitton Mini Bumbag style also comes in several leather options.

Ways to Wear the Mini Monogram Bumbag from Louis Vuitton
The Louis Vuitton Mini Monogram Bumbag can be worn in many ways, such as a belt bag, crossbody, or as a belt bag similar to the original Bumbag. But what’s even better is you have more wear options thanks to the straps. You can choose to wear the Mini Bumbag with both straps attached and the chain strap hanging, or you can choose just to wear one strap on its own and remove the other.

The New LV Bumbag, Known As The Monogram High Rise Bumbag
The new Louis Vuitton Monogram High Rise Bumbag was introduced in August 2023 shortly after the release of the Mini Bumbag. The High Rise Bumbag is larger than both the Mini Bumbag and the original Monogram Bumbag. The High Rise Bumbag from Louis Vuitton shares a lot of the original design features seen on its discontinued predecessor but also has a few new design upgrades. The High Rise Bumbag is crafted from monogram-coated canvas and vachetta leather trim and its belt strap is wider and can be removed. There is a back zip pocket, and a D-ring positioned higher that includes a luggage tag attached to it. Inside the High Rise Bumbag, there’s a single compartment accessible with a single zipper pull. The bag itself is slimmer and has subtle folds or pleats, giving it some depth and a stylish look.
