I love Uniqlo's crossbody bag so much that I own three
There’s hardly a day I haven’t used this bag since I bought my first one three years ago.
If there's one bag that lives up to the hype it gets, it's Uniqlo's Round Mini Shoulder Bag. And as someone who now owns three (I bought my first one in 2022), I can absolutely vouch for its versatile design, surprising storage capacity, water-repellent finish, and ridiculously great value price tag.
At just £14.90, it's the perfect travel companion and the single-most reached-for bag in my collection, and I honestly believe everyone should have at least one of these bags in their wardrobe.

💸 Reasons to buy
If the affordable price tag isn't enough to tempt you, then the sheer capacity of this bag is definitely what will sell it to you. Although it's called a Round Mini Shoulder Bag, this style is anything but mini. The perfect everyday bag, that can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody, it embodies a half-moon shape that has ample storage space.
To put the capacity into perspective, I can store my phone, portable fan, card holder, keys, earphones, lip balm, lip liner, powder, make-up brush, glasses (and glasses case) and even a bottle of water, easily within it. In some cases, I'll even throw a book or my umbrella in there, too. There's simply no disputing this bag's generous storage capabilities, making it the ultimate choice for everyday.
In terms of versatility, I've taken it with me on holiday, on long walks, while commuting, running errands, going shopping — there's barely a day I haven't used this bag since I bought my first one three years ago.
The strap is completely adjustable, and it comes with a secure zip fastening to keep all of your belongings safe no matter what you're doing.
Then there's the vast colour choice. There's 10 great colours to choose from, ranging from a deep red, to a neutral beige (two of which I own, plus an olive colourway). So, depending on your style and preference, you can pick up the one that's right for you.
Made from a nylon fabric, it's also wipe-clean if you encounter any spills or marks, which is super handy for keeping the bag in tip-top shape.
Available for just £14.90, it's simply a no-brainer if you're looking for the ultimate everyday bag.
✋ Reasons to avoid
I can't name a single reason as to why anyone shouldn't invest in Uniqlo's Round Mini Shoulder Bag. It's a bargain, delivers on everything you would need from an everyday, casual bag, and looks great on.
