Canvas is better

I like it! But this is the first time I order something not Canvas (it’s the Ballistic Nylon). I just need to realize that I’m the type of you who prefers canvas and leather.

Gary can’t stop winning

WaterField has absolutely nailed it with the Shinjuku Tote. Magnetic top flap may be my favorite part of the bag, it’s so smooth. Not my first product of theirs and won’t be my last.

Perfect diaper bag

I looked far and wide for a diaper bag that both my partner and I would love to carry. We love the style, material, and especially love all the magnetic closures that make it way too easy to grab what we need when we have a baby in one arm.

Holds everything needed

I really like this tote. I purchased an earlier WF model maybe 7 years ago like that one too but this is a little lighter vs the older canvas model. I keep one of my WF organizers in the side pocket and that offers even more pockets. I do have trouble sometimes remembering where I put everything. Also fits my 11” iPad in its WF sleeve. Love all my WF gear very well made!

Almost perfect

Soooo much capacity. I can fit two MacBooks, headphones, chargers, a Kindle, a camera, and still have room if I really wanted to max it out with a water bottle and other small peripherals or something.

I was so pleased by how easy it is to pick up and throw over my shoulder. Furthermore it’s surprisingly comfortable to wear, even when packed to the gills. I deal with some shoulder pain, and the comfort with this bag cannot be overstated.

It would be absolutely PERFECT if it had one padded laptop pocket/sleeve for a 16” laptop, and maybe some denser padding on the bottom for when I set it down so I don’t have to worry about my electronics/screens taking too much shock from a hard surface.

WaterField Designs Shinjuku Tote GBAtemp review

“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


Design details

EASY OPEN. EASY CLOSE.

Strong rare-earth magnets snap the top flap securely into place, then open effortlessly when you need something inside. It’s smooth, silent, and easy to operate with one hand; perfect when you’re juggling everything that comes with a busy day.

Push the flaps aside when you want the tote to stay open or need a little extra room up top.

 

SMALL DETAILS. BIG IMPACT.

Roomy enough for a full workday and organized enough to keep it all manageable. Interior and exterior pockets keep chargers, notebooks, cables, and smaller essentials easy to find, while the long, non-slip handles make the Shinjuku comfortable to carry, even when fully loaded.

Heading out of town? A rear passthrough slides over your suitcase handle, turning your everyday work tote into an equally capable travel companion. 

 

GO BALLISTIC

Lightweight, resilient, and weather-resistant, 1680-denier ballistic nylon gives the Shinjuku Tote a clean, understated look that fits right into a professional setting. Pair it with full-grain leather accents and you get a work tote polished enough for any boardroom, and tough enough for the daily commute.

 

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.

 

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