How I scored the 2026 Baggu Artist prints for my Belgian collection without paying local markups

Why the 2026 Baggu Artist Prints are a big deal

I have been obsessed with the Baggu Medium Nylon Crescent Bag for years, but the 2026 Artist Prints are on another level. This year, Baggu collaborated with a handful of underground US illustrators to create patterns that are only available on their official US website and at Urban Outfitters US. If you live in Belgium like I do, you know how frustrating it is when these limited drops never make it to our local boutiques.

The 2026 collection features heavier weight nylon and some incredible hand-drawn florals and abstract geometries that I just couldn't find anywhere in Europe. I realized quickly that if I wanted one of these bags, I had to find a way to shop directly from the source in the United States.

How I shop US stores from Belgium

My secret to getting these exclusives is using comGateway. They provide me with a tax-free US address located in Oregon. This is huge because it means I don't pay any US sales tax when I checkout at Baggu or Urban Outfitters. I just enter that address as my shipping destination at checkout.

By using a freight forwarder, I can access the full inventory that US shoppers see. I've found that even with shipping costs, it often ends up being more affordable than waiting for a local reseller to import them and add a massive 40% markup. Plus, their international shipping service is much faster than the standard postal options I've used in the past.

What I do when US stores block my Belgian credit card

There is one major hurdle I ran into when I first started doing this. Some big US retailers—think Sephora, Nike, or even certain exclusive drops at Urban Outfitters—have a habit of declining orders that use international credit cards or billing addresses. It is incredibly annoying to find the perfect Baggu print only to have your order cancelled five minutes later.

This is where I started using the "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me trying to push my Belgian card through their system, I just tell the team at comGateway what I want. They use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on my behalf. It is the safest way I've found to guarantee my order doesn't get flagged or cancelled. If you are worried about a store being "difficult" with international buyers, I highly recommend this assisted purchase option to save yourself the headache.

The math on shipping to Belgium

Before I commit to a purchase, I always use the shipping calculator to see what the damage will be. For a Baggu Medium Nylon Crescent Bag, the weight is quite low, which makes it very cost-effective to ship. I usually wait until I have a couple of items—maybe a few prints or some clothes from a US sale—and then use their consolidation service to pack everything into one box.

I've found that ship to Belgium transit times are usually around 3 to 8 business days depending on the courier I choose. You can check the specific Belgium delivery page to see which carriers are currently offering the best rates for our region.

Managing import taxes and VAT

Living in Belgium, we have to be realistic about import duties and VAT. Since 2021, all items coming from outside the EU are subject to VAT. I always make sure to set aside a bit of my budget for these costs so there are no surprises when the package arrives in Brussels.

If you're confused about how these charges are calculated, you might also like to check out this guide on import tax and GST/VAT. It explains the thresholds and how to handle the paperwork. If you ever get stuck, I usually just head over to their FAQ section which covers most of the common questions about Belgian customs procedures.

My final thoughts on the 2026 collection

The 2026 Baggu Artist prints are definitely worth the extra effort of importing. The quality of the nylon feels more premium than previous years, and the designs are truly unique. By using a tax-free US address and the BuyForMe service, I managed to get the exact prints I wanted without the stress of order cancellations or overpaying local resellers. If you're looking to shop US store exclusives from Belgium, this is definitely the most reliable path I've found.
