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.

Fantastic product! Really well designed!

Outstanding Quality and Exceptional Customer Service

The Shinjuku Sling is absolutely splendid! The craftsmanship, materials, and attention to detail are second to none — you can really tell it’s Made in the USA with pride. The waxed canvas feels premium, the design is both practical and stylish, and it’s clear this bag will last for years.

What truly impressed me, though, was WaterField’s customer service. Adrien and the team went above and beyond to ensure my order reached me despite shipping issues with FedEx. Their responsiveness and kindness are rare these days and make me want to keep supporting this company.

Highly recommend WaterField Designs — both for the exceptional products and the people behind them!

Perfect size

The product's dimensions are ideal for portability and the secure transport of personal items.

Great small sling bag for travel

I have the X-PAC black model. I am reviewing it after my first trip with the bag. My passport and some extra cash fit well in the back pocket, In the center pocket I carried miscellaneous items including glasses, battery pack, charging cable, mints, AirPods, etc. At times I carried my phone in the bag as well. The front pocket easily carried an energy bar. Overall, it was comfortable to carry and secure, In crowds I moved it up towards my chest for safety. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good small sling bag for traveling as well as every day use.

Excellent Bag

I'm a long time customer. High quality products worth the price. I had a computer bag for over 15 years when one of the plastic fasteners fatigued out after years of constant use. I asked for a replacement part, they had me ship the bag back to them and they repaired it for free. I've bought at least ten products over the years and will always give SF Bags my business because they stand by their products. The Shinjuku Sling is a quality bag and it's perfect for what I need right now

“WaterField has succeeded in creating an almost perfect shoulder bag for everyday use.”

I found the perfect accessory for carrying my iPhone 16 Pro Max

Digital Trends - September 29, 2024

“...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.

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.

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, and Brief.

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