Printed bum bags are lightweight, hands-free pouches worn at hip level that keep your phone, wallet, keys, and rolling papers within instant reach without digging through a backpack. Available in three designs (Holographic Rainbow, Smiley, and Ganja Leaves), these bags sit comfortably around your waist or slung across your chest, leaving both hands free for whatever the day throws at you. They weigh approximately 120 g each, but the zip closure keeps everything locked down even in a crowd. If you want to buy a printed bum bag that actually stands out, these three designs cover the full spectrum from subtle to unmissable.
| Variant | SKU | Vibe |
|---|---|---|
| Holographic Rainbow | HS1794 | Catches light from every angle — the one that gets noticed at night markets and festival stages. Shifts between purple, green, and silver depending on how the light hits it. |
| Smiley | HS1795 | Classic acid-house smiley print. Bright, cheerful, and immediately recognisable. A good conversation starter if you're into that. |
| Ganja Leaves | HS1796 | Green leaf pattern on black. Subtle enough for daily use, obvious enough that fellow enthusiasts will clock it. The best-seller in our smokeshop for a reason. |
All three share the same dimensions (roughly 32 × 14 × 7 cm) and closure — the only difference is the print. Pick whichever matches your kit, or grab two if you like switching things up.
Each printed bum bag measures approximately 32 cm wide, 14 cm tall, and 7 cm deep — large enough for a standard smartphone plus everyday carry items, small enough to forget you're wearing it.

Complete your carry setup: pair your bum bag with a pocket-sized metal grinder and a pack of slim rolling papers. Everything fits inside the main compartment with room to spare for your lighter and phone. If you're heading to a festival, a smell-proof baggie keeps things discreet inside the bag. Order your printed bum bag alongside these essentials and you've got a self-contained kit that weighs under 300 g total.
A bum bag reduces the risk of losing essentials in crowded environments by keeping them zipped against your body rather than loose in open pockets. According to the EMCDDA's 2023 European Drug Report, large music festivals across Europe now regularly attract over 50,000 attendees per event — and in crowds that dense, anything not physically attached to you is at risk. We've seen it first-hand at our Amsterdam counter for over 25 years: customers heading to Dekmantel, ADE, or King's Day markets come back to tell us what they lost. The pattern is always the same — loose pockets, crowded tent, gone. A bum bag strapped to your body addresses that problem in about 3 seconds. The zip sits against your hip or chest, so nobody's getting into it without you noticing. It sounds simple because it is — and simple gear that actually works is worth more than a fancy backpack you leave at the campsite.
From Our Counter: One of our regulars — a DJ who plays 15–20 festival sets per summer — switched to the Ganja Leaves bum bag in 2023 after losing his third phone in two years. He told us he hasn't lost a single item since. His exact words: "It's not rocket science, it's a zip." We've heard variations of that story at least 40 times now. The bag doesn't do anything magical; it just keeps your stuff where you put it.
The honest limitation? These are lightweight printed bags, not armoured vaults. They'll handle daily use, festival weekends, and city trips without complaint, but if you're looking for waterproof, heavy-duty gear for hiking or extreme weather, you'd want something burlier — like a proper outdoor waist pack rated to IPX4 or higher. For everything else — day trips, gigs, markets, a night out near Amsterdam's Leidseplein — these do the job and look good doing it. The Holographic Rainbow variant in particular has a slick, almost iridescent sheen to the fabric that photographs better than it has any right to at this price point.
Compared to a standard plain black bum bag from a high-street shop, you're getting a print that actually says something about you. A 2024 Statista survey found that 62% of festival-goers in the Netherlands consider accessories part of their outfit rather than purely functional — these printed bum bags land squarely in that overlap of style and utility. The Ganja Leaves design is our most popular in the smokeshop category, and the Smiley sits right behind it. If you want something that blends in, these aren't it — and that's the point.
The optimal wearing position depends on your activity: waist-level for casual use, crossbody at belly-button height for crowded events where quick access matters most.
Yes. The main compartment fits phones up to roughly 16.5 cm long (that covers most standard smartphones, including the iPhone 15 and Samsung Galaxy S24). You'll still have room for a wallet, keys, and a lighter alongside it.
Absolutely. The adjustable strap extends to approximately 130 cm, long enough to sling across your chest. Most of our customers actually prefer crossbody — it's easier to access and sits more securely in crowds.
It's a holographic-effect print rather than a true hologram. The surface shifts colour under different light — you get rainbow reflections that move as you walk. Under stage lighting or sunlight it's genuinely eye-catching. In a dark room, it looks more like a metallic silver.
No. They'll handle a light drizzle or a spilled drink, but they're not sealed against heavy rain. If you're heading to a wet festival, toss a small zip-lock bag inside for your phone and electronics. That's a 10-second fix.
Wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. We wouldn't put them in a washing machine — the print can crack or peel at temperatures above 40 °C. A quick hand-clean after a festival weekend keeps them looking fresh.
Ganja Leaves outsells the other two in our smokeshop, with Smiley close behind. Holographic Rainbow tends to be the pick for people heading to electronic music events — it catches stage lighting like nothing else.
One main zippered compartment. It keeps the profile slim and the total weight down to around 120 g. If you need internal organisation, a small pouch or baggie inside the main pocket works well for separating smaller items from your phone.
You can order printed bum bags directly through the Azarius webshop or get them in person at our Amsterdam store near Kloveniersburgwal. All three designs — Holographic Rainbow, Smiley, and Ganja Leaves — are typically in stock year-round.
