Great bag, and just what I was after. I was not disappointed. If I had a suggestion it would be to add a pen loop and a keyring loop inside. Nice!
Great EDC bag, The waxed canvas looks and feels fantastic in hand. The interior gold lining gives a classy look. The strap hangs properly and swivels to keep the bag near horizontal when worn crossbody. (You can see this in the pictures). A Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 (or a similar sized tablet) will fit in the main compartment (Not in the padded area). If you carry this way, put a case on the tablet. Since the bag is a rectangle you can carry it as a gear pouch within a larger bag.
Suggestions for improvement - 1. Add a top handle. 2. Add pockets and a pen loop in the front compartment. 3. Change the interior pocket layout to 3 side by side pockets instead of 2. (Like it was in the Padded Gear Pouch).
Perfect for Tokyo crowds, the Shinjuku Crossbody is slim, secure, and easy to move with. Its minimalist design fits any outfit, and despite the small size, it holds all the essentials. Great for navigating busy streets like Shinjuku or Shibuya without feeling bulky.
The bag is a comfortable size, has soft dividers, is of high quality, and is worth every penny.
Highly recommended.
Good amount of room for my bike commute!

BEST IPAD MINI CASE
If you're taking along your iPad mini and don't want to carry it in a big bag, you can use the compact, lightweight Shinjuku Crossbody instead.
The Full Size Shinjuku Crossbody fits an iPad mini perfectly in its own padded compartment. When sightseeing, going to the museum, or attending an art class, you can stay nimble by carrying just what you need.
STAY SECURE
When visiting public spaces with your Shinjuku Crossbody, here's a clever feature to give you peace of mind — attach the bag's strap to your chair using the paragliding-style buckle located at the end of the strap.
Should someone take your Shinjuku Crossbody by mistake, they won't be able to pull it away from your chair without you noticing.

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.
Crafted from traditional Waxed Canvas or modern Ballistic Nylon with full-grain leather accents and premium hardware, these bags are made to last.

GO BALLISTIC
Ballistic Nylon is a resilient textile that blends durability, lightness, and weather-resistance. Its sleek, understated aesthetic makes it an ideal choice for the Shinjuku Backpack, 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. The majority 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.
HOW TO FRESHEN UP CANVAS
If you have the Shinjuku Crossbody 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 wax, you may want to try Martexin Original Wax™ which was initially used to coat your canvas bag.
