NEW! Shinjuku Sling

 

Fits Apple's new iPhone 16 + accessories


The lightweight Shinjuku Sling carries your daily essentials in a compact, stylish pouch.  The small size is just big enough for an iPhone, Kindle, or a mini water bottle. The adjustable strap easily hooks/unhooks so you attach additional gear — a hat, portable speaker — without much fuss. You can also attach your Shinjuku Sling to your chair when dining at restaurants so it stays safely at your side.

Perfect Minimal Bag

This is a great bag for when you don’t need a lot: phone, keys, ear buds, wallet, emergency jacket, reading glasses etc. As with all things made by WaterField Designs, it is attractive, sturdy and highly functional.

Handsome, top of the class quality, but it's tiny

I wanted to love this, but I have to send it back. Even reading the measurements, I was stunned at how small it ended up being. This design is so well suited for a larger version and it's such a shame because I love almost everything else. My only other complaint is the strap. It is very rough as it lays on your skin, and the edges are basically serrated and it cuts into your skin as you swing it around front to back. A soft, silky strap is a core necessity for a sling due to the way it is worn over just one shoulder, and a rough strap negates the primary advantage of a sling which is the ability to swing it from your back to your chest and back. Unless you are careful to take almost all of the pressure off of the strap, it will leave a mark. I also bought the Vitesse Sling and it's more useful, but unfortunately has the same strap problem. The Shinjuku Sling is just a growth spurt and strap change away from perfection. Also big thanks for offering it in so many color choices. I am overloaded on so many previous brown waxed canvas Waterfield purchases and needed some color variety.

It just keeps getting better! This is my second product from Waterfield since discovering the company just a few months ago. I can't wait to discover what is next. Superior craftsmanship and expeditious service. What a winning combination.

Just the right size almost

Great bag as it holds everything that I need it to. I use the front pocket for my IPHONE pro and with the case it’s just a bit tight going in. It will fit but it takes some finesse to get it in and out.

Build quality is 1st rate and I really like the waxed canvas.

Very satisfied with my purchase

Perfect Sling for EDC

Perfect size sling for when I want to clear my pockets. Materials and craftsmanship are top notch. Can’t wait to see how the leather and waxed canvas patina over time.

“...a stylish little sling to carry your everyday essentials”


SIZE GUIDE

The compact Shinjuku Sling is designed to fit your everyday essentials, like phone, keys, wallet, etc. The zippered back pocket is an ideal place for storing passports or similarly-sized notepads. 

Tech gear that fits: 

  • Apple iPhone
  • Apple AirPods
  • Kindle Mini
  • and other similarly-sized items


 

FLEXIBLE STRAP SYSTEM 

 

The quick-release metal buckle on the adjustable strap of the Shinjuku Sling makes it easy to hook/unhook. You can unhook the strap to attach additional items that don't fit in the bag, or discreetly secure the bag to your chair while at restaurants or events. 

SPECIALTY WATER BOTTLES 

 

The Shinjuku Sling fits the new crop of compact water bottles to keep you hydrated. Don't have one of these cool flasks? No problem — a regular bottle of water will fit, too.   

CANVAS GOES HIGH TECH

 

Made with X-Pac® Canvas, a high-performance textile that blends the durable, lightweight, and water-resistance of X-Pac® with a soft canvas feel. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SHINJUKU COLLECTION

 

The Shinjuku Collection launched with the Shinjuku Messenger Bag. Inspired by the fast-paced Tokyo lifestyle,  these compact and lightweight bags are designed to let you navigate your way around town easily.  

 

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

 

 


 

CARING FOR THE LEATHER 


You can freshen up the look of the full-grain leather panel and the traditional waxed canvas (not X-Pac®) on your Shinjuku Sling by applying heat from a blowdryer. We use full grain Roughman leather which has oils that respond well to heat. 

In this video, Gary shows how to do this using the AirPods Max Shield Case as an example.
