Uniqlo sent shoppers into total meltdown when it launched the cult Round Mini Shoulder Bag, which we all (me included) still rely on day in and day out.
The fashion house has released a variety of other iterations of the cross body bag, including additional colours, as well as a larger quilted version, but there is a new accessory on the block that is bigger and better than the original.
Uniqlo has created the Uniqlo Multi Pocket Shoulder Bag, which is equally as versatile, if not more so than the original design.
Uniqlo Multi Pocket Shoulder Bag
The Multi-Pocket Shoulder Bag is a rectangular shaped bag, which boasts two front pockets, as well as a large compartment, all of which can be fastened with zips.It also features a side slip pocket, and a separate slip pocket inside the main area.It features an adjustable strap that can extend from 61cm to 115cm, so you can wear over the shoulder, or across the body. Available in black or khaki green.
The Multi Pocket Shoulder Bag does what it says on the tin – it features numerous pockets to house your valuables in specific compartments, which the original design lacked. This bag features two front pockets, as well as a main compartment, with a slip pocket inside, as well as a separate external side pocket.
The two front square pockets are ideal to keep your keys, or any other items you want immediate access to, while the side pocket can house a water bottle, or umbrella. The inside is big enough to house a kindle, ipad, laptop or book, because it is bigger than the Round Mini Shoulder Bag.
The bag measures 26.5cm in height, 11cm in depth, and 33.5cm in width, plus it can hold up to 13 litres, which is quite impressive. The original design measures 17cm in height, 10cm in depth and 28cm in width, plus it only holds four litres. So it’s safe to say the Multi-Pocket Bag is ideal for those who pack a lot on them day to day.
What I love most is the newer version is a rectangular shape, which makes it easier to fit other square items inside, whereas the ends of a paperback book would bend in my Round Shoulder Bag.
The shoulder strap on the Multi Pocket Shoulder Bag can extend from 61cm to 115cm, so you can secure it tight over your shoulder, loosen it up to wear as a tote bag, or style across the body.
Made from polyamide, this bag is super durable, like the original Unqilo crossbody bag. Plus, it is unisex, and super affordable.
Currently it is only available in black and khaki green, but the same happened with previous designs, and Uniqlo expanded the collection to meet popular demand. So, can we expect the same for the Uniqlo bag?
The Multi Pocket Shoulder Bag has amassed glowing reviews from shoppers already.
One commented: ‘Lots of pockets. Very spacious yet compact. Nice for the day to day carry-on.’
Another praised: ‘The perfect size and quality. The pockets fits everything perfectly, including my MacBook.’
While a third added: ‘Perfect for bringing both lunch and a water bottle to work and a lot of other necessities!’
