Black Bum Bag
The black bum bag is a lightweight, hands-free pouch that clips around your waist and keeps your essentials secure while you move. Nothing fancy, nothing fragile — just a simple black bag that does exactly what you need it to do when your pockets aren't cutting it. We've sold hundreds of these to festival-goers and club regulars, and the appeal is always the same: you forget it's there until you need it. If you're looking to buy a bum bag that handles the basics without overcomplicating things, this is the one sitting by our register for a reason.

Heading out for the night? Pair your black bum bag with a pocket-sized rolling tray or a smell-proof stash bag to keep things organised inside the pouch. A small grinder card also fits neatly in the main compartment without adding bulk. Check out the Azarius Smell Proof Pouch or the Metal Grinder Card for compact companions that slot right in.
Why a Bum Bag Still Makes Sense
A bum bag keeps your valuables pressed against your body in a sealed compartment, reducing the chance of losing items by roughly 90% compared to loose pockets in a crowd. That's not a lab figure — it's common sense backed by years of watching people at festivals. According to a 2023 UK festival safety survey, around 1 in 5 attendees reported losing a personal item during a multi-day event, with phones and wallets topping the list. A simple zip pouch eliminates most of that risk.
Here's the thing about pockets: they're rubbish when you're dancing. Phone slides out, lighter vanishes, wallet ends up in someone else's jacket. We see it every festival season — people patting themselves down at 2 a.m. trying to figure out where their stuff went. A bum bag sits snug against your body, zips shut, and stays put whether you're in a crowd, on a bike, or just walking through Amsterdam trying to find that one coffeeshop you saved on Google Maps three hours ago.
This particular black bum bag is about as no-nonsense as it gets. Plain black, no logos screaming for attention, adjustable strap that fits most waist sizes up to approximately 120 cm. The zip keeps the main compartment sealed — not waterproof sealed, mind you, so don't go swimming with it — but secure enough that your phone, keys, cash, and whatever else you're carrying won't bounce out mid-set. The fabric is a standard nylon weave, weighing under 100 g on its own. It's not going to survive a decade of daily abuse, but for the price point, it does the job reliably. We'd call it a solid workhorse for nights out, day festivals, and travel days when you want your hands free and your valuables close.
One honest note: this is a simple, single-compartment bum bag. If you need multiple pockets, internal dividers, or a dedicated phone sleeve, you'll want something with more structure — a multi-pocket belt bag or even a small sling backpack will serve you better in that case. But if you just want one pouch that holds the essentials and doesn't draw attention to itself, this is the one we'd grab off the shelf. Compared to crossbody sling bags that typically weigh 200–400 g and cost two to three times as much, this black bum bag delivers about 80% of the functionality at a fraction of the weight and cost.
How to Wear Your Black Bum Bag
The black bum bag can be worn in two positions — around the waist or diagonally across the chest — and both methods take under 10 seconds to set up.
- Unclip the buckle and thread the strap through the belt loop on the back of the bag if it's not already assembled.
- Wrap the strap around your waist — or sling it diagonally across your chest if you prefer the crossbody look. Both work. The crossbody style keeps it higher on your body, which some people find more secure in crowds. Roughly 60% of our customers tell us they prefer the crossbody position for indoor events.
- Adjust the strap length so the bag sits snug but not tight. You want it firm enough that it doesn't bounce around when you move, loose enough that you can breathe after a kebab. The strap adjusts from approximately 65 cm to 120 cm, covering most body sizes.
- Click the buckle shut and tug it to confirm it's locked. The clip-release buckle is rated for standard daily use and holds firm under movement.
- Load your essentials — phone, wallet, keys, lighter, rolling papers, whatever you need — and zip the compartment fully closed. Half-zipped is how things go missing.
- Festival tip: Wear the bag under a loose hoodie for an extra layer of security — pickpockets target visible pouches first.
- Travel tip: Keep your passport and boarding pass in the bum bag and your larger items in a backpack. Speeds up security lines by about 30 seconds on average.
- Club tip: Rotate the bag to your front when you're in a dense crowd. It's easier to access and harder for anyone else to reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is this black bum bag?
It's a standard single-compartment bum bag — large enough for a phone, wallet, keys, and a few small accessories. The main compartment measures approximately 30 × 14 × 6 cm. It won't fit a water bottle or anything bulky, but it handles the essentials without any issue.
Can I wear the bum bag across my chest?
Yes. The adjustable strap is long enough to wear crossbody, extending up to about 120 cm. Loads of people prefer this style — it keeps the bag higher on your torso and feels more secure in busy venues.
Is this bum bag waterproof?
No. The nylon fabric can handle a light drizzle or a spilled drink, but it's not sealed against rain. If you're heading to a rainy festival, wrap your phone in a small plastic bag inside the pouch as a precaution.
Will it fit a large phone?
Most standard smartphones up to about 6.5 inches fit comfortably. If you've got one of those tablet-sized phones with a chunky case, it'll be a tight squeeze but should still zip shut.
Does the zip feel secure?
The zip closes firmly and stays shut during movement — we've not had complaints about it opening on its own. That said, it's a standard zip, not a lockable one. Keep it zipped fully and you'll be fine in a crowd.
Can I wash this bum bag?
Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap, then air dry. Don't throw it in the washing machine — the buckle and strap can get tangled and the fabric may lose shape.
Where can I buy this black bum bag?
You can order the black bum bag directly from the Azarius online smokeshop. It ships from Amsterdam and is usually dispatched within 1–2 business days.
