If you haven't already seen the infamous Uniqlo shoulder bag, er, where have you been? It's become the everyday bag of choice for many influencers for being sleek, stylish and surprisingly roomy.
It's essentially the Mary Poppins bag of our generation and it can even fit a bottle of wine inside (yep, trust us, we've tried.)
Aside from being basically the easiest bag to throw over your shoulder and carry half your belongings in, the Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag is also super versatile and goes with any outfit. We all know the classic black, cream and green options that have been in and out of stock but here's a secret: there's a new era of the Uniqlo bag coming.
Yes, that's right. After introducing a new corduroy option last autumn, Uniqlo has gone one step further to bring us all new fresh colours for spring. Get ready for it, peeps, because the pastel shades are here. Plus - there's a geometric pattern option now too, with Uniqlo once again collaborating with Marimekko. Oh, we're spoilt for choice.
The new spring colours include experimental pastel and vibrant spring colours including pink, yellow, blue and purple. So chic.
We didn't know we could ever want something more and, of course, it has been TikTok raving about it the most that brought it to our attention. After fashion influencers took to their accounts to spill the beans on the new bag, Uniqlo fans ran to the comments.
One person commented "I just fell to my knees", whilst another said, "Doing the lord’s work 🥹 BLESS YOU".
Looks like everyone's keen to get their hands on the new bags.

Or opt for a more moody, grungy dark grey pattern. The choice is yours.
Don't worry about your wallet though, because the bag is still the same affordable price as before. For just a mere £14.90, we think we might just grab every colour tbh.
They've been around for a while now and look like they're here to stay so if you haven't already got your hands on one, we suggest you snap them up (quickly) before they're gone. Here are all the best viral Uniqlo shoulder bags to shop.
