Louis Vuitton Giant Monogram Bumbag

Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Giant Monogram Bumbag?
A: With measurements of approximately 31 x 18.5 x 13 cm, this style is roomy enough for everyday essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, passport and small cosmetics. It is spacious for a hands-free bag, but not intended for larger items such as a tablet or laptop.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody as well as around the waist?
A: Yes. Louis Vuitton bumbag styles are commonly worn crossbody, over the shoulder or around the waist. This piece has an adjustable strap and a top handle, so you can style it in several ways depending on your preferred fit.

Q: Is the strap adjustable?
A: Yes. The strap is adjustable, and the listed strap measurement for this item is 118 cm. Fit will vary slightly depending on how you prefer to wear it and where the bag sits on the body.

Q: What are the main features of this bag?
A: This bag is crafted in khaki and beige Giant Monogram canvas with brass hardware, an adjustable waist strap, beige fabric lining, a double zip closure and one exterior zip pocket.

Q: Is this Giant Monogram Bumbag a discontinued style?
A: Yes. The original Louis Vuitton Bumbag has been discontinued, and Giant Monogram seasonal versions such as this khaki and beige edition are no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s regular line. That is one reason this model remains especially sought after on the pre-owned market.

Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and hardware?
A: Coated canvas is durable, but it should still be treated with care. Avoid overfilling the bag, prolonged exposure to heat or moisture, and storage in the box for long periods. When not in use, store it in its dust bag in a ventilated space and wipe the canvas and hardware gently with a soft cloth.

Q: What does the date code MI1149 mean?
A: Louis Vuitton date codes are production codes rather than unique serial numbers. In the 2007 to 2021 format, MI indicates manufacture in France and 1149 corresponds to the 14th week of 2019. A date code is useful for product history, but it should never be the only factor used for authentication.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: This example is listed in very good condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: According to the product information, this item includes the box and a dust bag.

Q: How is authenticity assessed for a Louis Vuitton bag like this?
A: Authentication should consider the full construction of the bag, including the canvas, stitching, hardware, lining, stamps and date code placement. Date codes alone are not enough to prove authenticity, which is why a full expert review is important for pre-owned Louis Vuitton pieces.
