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.

My first Waterfield bag

I have been a fan since way back when I was looking for a case for my Nintendo 3DS, I saw their bags and thought they look great. I was not able to buy then as my local post office is not reliable and I think there was no FedEx option offered back then. Fast forward a few weeks back and saw them again, this time I was looking for a bag to put my Ricoh GRiii in. At first I wanted the Mini Hip Sling bag, but the color I wanted was out of stock so I got the Shinjuku slim. What a great bag, my intuition back then was spot on, the quality of their bags are top notch. You can definitely tell that the bag is worth every penny. I am very happy that I got this instead of the Mini Hip Sling for my use case.

Here are my thoughts after using it for a few weeks:
1. I use it as belt bag (with minor modification to shorten the strap) and it is very inconspicuous under my shirt. I prefer it as a hip bag but I am glad I can use it as sling as well.
2. My Ricoh GRiii fits comfortably and I feel like it is well protected. I can even bring my Lightpix Q20iii flash and a few extra batteries without adding too much bulk.
3. During vacations I can fit my GRiii, Lightpix Labs Q20iii flash, extra batteries and an anker power bank and the bulk added is not much

All in all I am very happy with my purchase! Now I got to stop looking at their site 'cause the itch is real to buy another of their bags.

Nothing but fantastic

Well thought out and lovingly crafted. Greetings from Germany.

My first WaterField

And I love it ❤️

Everything about the bag is great except for the strap. It was actually very painful and uncomfortable.
I had to return the bag.
If they address the strap issue, I would definitely repurchase the bag.

absolutely the best for travel!...

I added the Shinjuku Sling to my Waterfield collection - as i was travelling to Italy (Milano) to visit my daughter...i am 6' tall and 240lbs and this worked like a charm...i used it everywhere i went...it held my credit card, paper and coin monies, sunglasses-in-case, passport, international driver's license, Samsung s23 ultra phone, etc...i also use it in the USA for holding my wallet, phone and sunglasses instead of juggling them between my hands and pockets...as always, great quality and amazingly practical...thanks, Gary and team!

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.

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.
