Love the quality of materials and designer aesthetic. Arrives exactly as pictured. These are really slim, perfect for running slim & sleek to hold some cash, phone, keys, or sunglasses., I keep going back for more. I really appreciate the canvas & black leather/ballistic nylon look and colors!

High quality, does the job

The sling served perfectly on a trip to Amsterdam—carrying passport, mini notebook w/pen, and phone. It is, as expected, well made and thoughtfully designed. Unexpected is that it looks much better in person than in the pictures online.

Great little bag for everyday use

Like other products, you can't go wrong with the quality. Got this sling bag as a replacement to the one I always used. It's smaller that what I use to have, but carries the same amount. My bag has my wallet, keys, airpods, portable battery, phone and still keeps its slim form factor with enough wiggle room for some more. It even fits my sunglasses case if I want thanks to the way its pleated.

Great little carry-all

Really great design and look. Apparently I'm collecting a few of these canvas Waterfield bags. All great. I'll buy more as I need them. Fantastic

This little one is so cute! Somehow it ended up feeling much lighter than the CitySlicker Pouch for iPhone I bought last fall, yet is much roomier. It is the perfect size for those nights out with pocketless outfits.

WaterField Mini Hip Sling Bag review: Carry your iPhone and more in style

iMore RecommendediMore - June 15, 2021

“Bottom line: Carry your iPhone and a few essentials hands-free with this classy bag on your hip or across your body.”

SIZE GUIDE

The Mini Hip Sling Bag is a light, minimalist bag for carrying essentials like phone, wallet, keys, earbuds. A secret zippered back pocket can hold cards & small items.

 

Because the entire Mini Hip Sling Bag is pleated with an extra large pleat, it can expand the bag's capacity by approximately 50%. When not full, the pleats lay flat and keep the profile slim and it can be worn discreetly under a jacket or shirt.  


The Mini Hip Sling Bag was developed with customer input through our Community Design. See the process here.

 

WHICH STRAP IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

The Strap comes in Short or Long to accommodate different body heights and girths.  To find which length is right for you, consider how you'll primarily use the Hip Sling Bag — around the waist or sling-style? 

 

 RECOMMENDATION 

CONSIDERATIONS

SHORT STRAP
  • Primary use: Hip bag
  • Fits waists measuring 25" to 46" (63.50 cm to 116.84 cm)
  • May be worn as a Sling bag if shirt size is Extra Small or Small (Unisex size)
LONG STRAP
  • Primary use: Sling Bag
  • Fits waists measuring 25" to 57" (63.50 cm to 144.78 cm)
  • When worn as a Hip Bag, there will be a bit of excess dangling straps

THE KEY TO COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE

 
We put as much thought into the Strap as we did into the Hip Bag in our quest for comfort, convenience, and durability. A wide 1.5-inch soft webbing won't dig into your skin, and hi-performance hardware makes it quick and easy to adjust the strap.  
 

The magnetic buckle locks into place so it's easy to put on, the quick-adjusting camlock lets you change the strap length, and the quick-release pull makes it a cinch to take off.

“Please can you make the straps so that it can be worn on both shoulders? Most bags cater for the left shoulder only and none of the adjustments or quick release work well on the right shoulder, which is the side I wear my bags on.” - #10

 

THE HIP SLING BAG COLLECTION

Over 1000 customers participated in this community design, resulting in a Hip Bag that functions equally well as a Sling, and comes in three sizes to carry a variety of items.
 

The Hip Sling Bag keeps contents in place whether worn horizontally or vertically; can be opened from right or left and up or down; and has a comfortable strap for the hip or shoulder. 

 

The Mini Hip Sling Bag for the minimalists who carry just the essentials, and the bigger Hip Sling Bag fits devices like an iPad, Nintendo Swirch, or a light jacket.

“I'd use this as a bag that allows me to empty my pockets and carry a few extra items comfortably.” - Member #8

 

“I'm an IT professional, so I'd carry small random stuff that ends up in a tech pouch, plus things like a small flashlight and, by some miracle, a small laptop.” - Member #35

 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the Mini Hip Sling Bag in waxed canvas and chocolate leather, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
