Cast your mind back to the summer of 2024. We were all having a Brat summer, Wicked and Gladiator 2 were battling it out to become the movie of the season, and every single person and their mother had the Uniqlo crossbody bag- maybe even several in different colours.
Now, as a nation we’ve evolved past these handy little bags. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be throwing mine away, but I’m in dire need of an update- so imagine my delight when I discovered the next Uniqlo bag set to be this summer’s viral accessory. And it’s bigger- which means it’s better.
A soft spacious shoulder bag perfect for getaways, picnics, whatever you need.
Not only is this more spacious than the iconic crossbody bag, but this one can be worn either across your body or slung over a shoulder. It comes in a wide range of colours- red, black, olive or brown- and has over 115 4.5 star reviews, what’s not to like? It’s also padded to give you that soft, cushiony feel and has two outer side pockets as well as two inner pockets to keep your belongings organised. No more losing a lip gloss, phone, keys or charger at the very bottom of your bag. This bag also has a much wider strap, meaning you can carry more for longer, you’ll never have to face those annoying marks in your shoulder after a bag is digging into you all day.
These are extra spacious, meaning they’re ideal for all those summer picnics you’ve got in your diary- they make the perfect wine, snacks, and a blanket carrier, which every get together needs. It even has enough room for an overnight trip- say goodbye to bulky and battered carry-on bags.
Make sure you buy one now before they’re sold out.
