Everything i had hoped for and more from my first ever WaterField bag. Love the shoulder straps that dont slide off - magnetic closures - and the smart positioning/sizing of slots inside the bag that make carrying water bottles easy. Easy recommendation.

Shinjuki Tote is the Top Tote of the Town

Crafting a tribute to a tote bag would have been a ridiculously inane exercise—until now. The Waterfield Shinjuki Tote. Well. The design is innovative and very, very, very, very—sexy. Then there’s the outstanding—I would even venture flawless—craftsmanship. And then….amazing enough, a “profound functionality”, a plethora of storage possibilities and pockets galore. I got it in black. It’s a killer. But I want all the other color options as well. How to justify that. Somebody help me.

Wonderful Tote!

Just got my tote, and have put it to use. It looks good and is functional, Really well executed. As always, the details matter, and make a difference. No surprise from Waterfield.

New Waterfield Tote!

I have been waiting impatiently for a new Waterfield tote to arrive on the scene. I have used the Outback Totes for years, and they were getting pretty beat up! I asked about new totes a while back, and there was nothing on the horizon. Now I have this new tote and I am a happy woman! I use the tote as a work purse...people comment on it, and big bag people appreciate it! The trademark gold color inside makes my life much easier. I don't lose things in the bag and can find my items easily. The various pockets are a good size and helpful; to my organization.
Gary, please keep making totes!

WaterField Designs Shinjuku Tote GBAtemp review

GBAtemp - May 27, 2025

“Striking a delicate balance between form and function, the Shinjuku Tote redefines the tote bag, adapting it to the tech user.”

GBAtemp rating of 7.5 out of 10

SIZE GUIDE

The Shinjuku Tote comes in one size. We recommend using a MacBook Sleeve or iPad Sleeve for protecting your laptop or tablet when inserting it in the bag.

EASY OPEN. EASY CLOSE.


The Shinjuku Tote may be the first tote to feature a magnetic top closure. Silent and easy to open and shut, the flap hides your belongings from prying eyes. 

 

 

The super strong, rare-earth magnets find each other naturally and make a satisfying click when they snap closed.  

 

SMALL DETAILS. BIG IMPACT.

 

The Shinjuku Tote is designed for both comfort and style. The extended handles allow for a comfortable shoulder-carry, with anti-slip undersides to keep them in place. Interior and exterior pockets keep you organized: side pockets accommodate big bottles, and front/back pockets provide easy-access storage.

 

For travel, you can use the Shinjuku Tote to consolidate small items you need inflight. The magnetic flap keeps items secure and the the rear passthrough slides over carry-on luggage.  

 

CANVAS GOES HIGH TECH

 

X-Pac® Canvas, a high-performance textile that blends the durable, lightweight, and water-resistance of X-Pac® with a soft canvas feel, makes an ideal choice for the Shinjuku Tote — a bag designed to be comfortable, lightweight, and stylish. 

 

TRADITIONAL 15 OZ. WAXED CANVAS

 

Not all waxed canvas bags are created equal. Lower quality bags use 6 oz. canvas, while most designated as “durable” use 12 oz. canvas. At 15 oz., our waxed canvas exceeds what is commonly sold in the market, yet it's still lightweight. Its naturally rugged, distressed look and can be re-waxed to freshen it up. 

We source our canvas from a reputable U.S. mill that has produced these fabrics since 1930. This specialized textile is coated with Martexin Original Wax™ and shouldn't require much cleaning. Stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth. 

SHINJUKU COLLECTION

 

Inspired by the vibrant, fast-paced Tokyo neighborhood, the Shinjuku Collection is designed to help you nimbly navigate your way through crowds. These stylish bags are compact, lightweight, and comfortable to carry. The Collection also includes the Shinjuku Messenger Bag, Sling, Brief and Backpack.

 

Crafted from traditional Waxed Canvas or modern X-Pac® Canvas with full-grain leather accents and premium hardware, these bags are built to last. 

HOW TO FRESHEN UP CANVAS


If you own the Shinjuku Tote in traditional waxed canvas, you can keep it looking like new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although you can use any suitable wax, you may want to try Martexin Original Wax™ which was used in the initial coating of your canvas bag.
