Louis Vuitton Belt Bags & Fanny Packs

Carry Your Essentials Hands-Free With Stylish Louis Vuitton Belt Bags for Women

Gone are the days of the unflattering fanny pack. Using designer fabrics with signature prints, a Louis Vuitton bumbag puts a high-fashion spin on a classic accessory. Wear a Louis Vuitton belt bag on your waist, chest, or back for a simple, stylish way to carry essentials like your makeup, smartphone, and credit cards on the go.

Louis Vuitton has released several lines of new casual-chic bumbags you can dress up or down. Although they're made for comfort and functionality, LV belt bags offer a more sophisticated look than a traditional fanny pack. Keep these aspects in mind as you look for available Louis Vuitton belt bag eBay styles:

• Capacity - How many items do you carry on a typical day and how large are they? Some Louis Vuitton waist bag styles, such as the Giant/Mini Monogram line, offer a slightly larger or smaller compartment.
• Fabric - Many Louis Vuitton waist bags are made of coated canvas or calf leather. The coated canvas is treated with PVC for durability.
• Print/Design - Is your personal style more flashy or understated? If you like people to know what brand you're wearing, choose designs with well-known Louis Vuitton patterns, such as the classic monogram print or the Damier checkerboard print. Louis Vuitton also makes simpler designs in solid colors, such as the quilted New Wave bumbag line. Although the brand tends to use neutral color palettes, there are a few bumbag lines that include bright hues.

If you value versatility, there are three main design features to consider:

• The strap - An adjustable strap is a staple on most Louis Vuitton bumbags. The flexible sizing provides a comfortable fit for a variety of body types and allows you to wear your accessory as a waist or crossbody bag. Also decide whether you want the option to remove the strap altogether. A few select Louis Vuitton bum bag lines, such as the Dauphine, are meant to double as a clutch.
• Extra pockets - When you prefer to keep IDs or credit cards in a separate compartment, look for bags that include an additional zippered pocket, such as the Bosphore line.
• Lining material - Just as the exterior material is important to consider, so too is the interior lining worth considering. Choices include cotton, microfiber, and canvas, and each has different care and maintenance requirements.

When you're searching for a used Louis Vuitton belt bag on eBay, know that all Louis Vuitton waist bags have a leather patch that shows where the bag was made. Bags also include monogrammed hardware and a date code to identify when the product entered circulation. The abbreviation in the date code should match the country of origin.
