I've been looking at a daily crossbody to bring with my on outings where I need a small/medium notebook and maybe a device like an iPad Mini or Kindle Paperwhite. WaterField Designs is always my go-to for bags because they look good, the quality is there, and I know they age so well.
The Shinjuku Crossbody stood out to me for its horizontal shape. I have an older crossbody that fits more like Indiana Jones' bag and can hold an iPad Pro. I was hoping for something lighter and this fit the bill. The description is of course accurate but I would say I could fit my iPad Air with the Apple keyboard case in the main compartment and it fits. A little tight but it fits. The Kindle Scribe does not fit because it's too wide and the Shinjuku can't quite zip close with it (I tried). If it could hold the Kindle Scribe, it would have been 100% perfect for me.
The bag is simple in its design and it has everything I love out of WaterField Design quality-- great materials, quality zippers, excellent storage, and my favorite feature has been the strap. I like that I can lock it to things. I do enough international travel where I do like to keep my bag attached to something and this has it as part of the bag strap! I'm excited to take it out on local to international adventures!
Very good quality and design, perfect fit for Apple Vision Pro. Delivery to Europe was fast and efficient
Excellent craftsmanship and thought out design make this a 10 out of 10 case for the Switch 2. I have the city slicker for my original Switch and PS Vita and they age beautifully.
This pencil case is just amazing! It’s perfect, I also love the leather they use.
Got this for the Modretro chromatic. Fit perfectly. Well made like all water field products!
Amazing : had the same thing for the original switch that lasted for 7 years. Its one of a kind and so gorgeous.
I like the aesthetics of the brief. Two things I would recommend changing if you alter the brief in the future.
1). Install a zipper opening section (8”??) at the bottom of the back flap in order that you can use it for items when it is closed and then alternately when the section is unzipped be able to place the flap over a suitcase handle for travelling.
2) Place a water resistant piece of fabric with a zipper that would extend over the three canvas pockets under the front flap. This would keep loose items secure within the three canvas pockets and somewhat protected from water, coffee spills, etc.
Otherwise, I think the brief is an excellent product.
Incredible quality and perfect size for a work bag. Super fast shipping too!
Nice and elegant case , slim and very portable high quality material , also very portable
Anything made by Waterfield is top notch quality, intuitive, and elegant. A simple gear pouch is no exception. Practical, functional, and just cool! I’m sure I’ll get more of them in the future, in various sizes cause they just work so well for keeping tech gadgets/accessories organized. As an IT professional, purchasing from a company like Waterfield that makes purpose-built quality products here in the US is wonderful. One of the few companies that makes me, as the customer, feel personally valued. I’d highly recommend this gear pouch to anyone, for many scenarios.
While the sleeve is everything I expected and all good, it was the customer service team that made this purchase so memorable! Thanks guys you’ve made me a life long customer!
The Hudson for its perfect blend of looks, durability, and function, consistently noting its impeccable build and attention to detail.
Let me start out by giving kudos to the Waterfield customer service. They were very responsive to my inquiries about the Hudson Leather Crossbody and even made sure that it was delivered in time for my upcoming trip - a couple of weeks early. This allowed me time to test it out and help me figure out what items i really needed to carry with me as my everyday carry. So far I have two cellphones (work and personal), digital camera - Fuji X100VI, slim wallet, keys, ID card for work, air pods, two pairs of glasses, and still has room for other items, like charger/cables, battery pack. I feel bad that my compact executive backpack is sitting in my closet getting a much needed break, but it will eventually make it back into the rotation. If you've been on the fence about getting this bag, do it, you won't be disappointed. Gary and the team have created another well made quality bag.
Great bag for travel. High-quality craftsmanship. Love supporting an SF company that makes their stuff locally!
I love my Switch 2 and this gorgeous bag is a fitting companion for it. I hope to have them both for many years!
Simply put, the best bag I've ever had -- excellent quality, perfect size, and stylish. Highly recommended!!
I’ve always wanted an all-leather bag and had my eye on their Executive Leather Messenger for years, but I never went through with it since I didn’t really have much use for a messenger bag. When the Hudson Crossbody came out, I couldn’t have hit that buy button any faster. I’m glad to say the bag absolutely delivers. The full-grain leather feels as premium as ever, and the automatic buckle lock adds a nice touch of security since it only opens in a specific way. What I love most is that it fits my thin knit jacket and all my essentials perfectly, making it ideal for my weekly cinema trips. Cannot wait for it to develop a patina!
This is my first "everyday" bag, and it's the perfect size to carry a small water bottle, sunglasses, regular glasses, snacks, battery bank, headphones, packable raincoat, keys, etc... everything I would want while being out for the day while not being as bulky as a full size backpack. It's also perfect for small items I want to be easily accessible on an airplane, without having a full backpack take up all of my leg room. The build quality is fantastic, and the gold-ish color interior makes it easy to see inside in low-light settings. It's not cheap to buy, but it also doesn't feel cheap in any way, so you absolutely get what you pay for with this bag. I didn't opt for the handle, which I'm mildly regretting for situations where I'm holding the bag in my hand for a few minutes... so I would probably recommend getting the handle add-on.
Great laptop sleeve, fits my MacBook Air like a glove. Waterfield is a high quality and affordable brand, highly recommend!!
I always love supporting local small businesses, especially when the products are of much higher quality than mass manufactured units. The 3DS City Slicker case is a terrific small carrying bag and matches the aesthetic and detail of the Pocket bag I ordered earlier in the year. The fit is perfect and secure for the portables, with a soft inner liner that is heads above mass produced third party stuff I've had in the past. The communication emails from Gary and Team are just right, often enough that they appreciate you as a customer, but not overwhelming with ads. Shipping was prompt and secure, and both bags looked exactly as pictured. After all these years, these bags finally give you a feeling of luxury for your portable gaming units without hitting the pocket like some Rodeo Drive store. For anyone on the fence, I would highly recommend these bags as the fit, style, and look are just perfect on the go!
