Which colour to get the Uniqlo bag in?

I think it seems like a wise investment. A little larger than my Lululemon one which is only big enough for the bare essentials (but v good at the airport for just passport & phone). I can't decide between 3 colours, olive, beige and natural. Is it boring to get natural or beige? I definitely don't want black for the summer (what summer?!). What colour does everyone have/use the most?

I've got the olive cord one, I'm in love and now want more colours 🤦‍♂️

Last week I had a large bag of nuts, keys, phone, purse, earbuds, 4 year old's leggings and t-shirt , tangle teezer wet brush and a 300ml stainless steel water bottle in it and it wasn't even full. It's like magic

I just got a black cord one. It’s brilliant. The other day it held:
purse
phone
brolly
sunglasses
packable raincoat
hand sanitiser, lipstick, lipgloss, handcream

Gosh really? I don't really need another bag but now I am tempted to get one of the cord ones. I carry a lot of stuff around including a raincoat sometimes.

GenialHarryGr0ut · 03/09/2023 21:25

Does anyone know if the cord one the same size as the nylon one?

Babysharkdoodoodood · 03/09/2023 21:37

I've just got the olive cord one and it's lovely. And so soft!

I also have the one with the 'jigsaw/people' pattern on, but it's a got a bit of a 'trying to be whacky ' vibe going on so that's been retired to the cupboard for now.

Waiting for pleather now.

They must be really popular bags. I bought one of the mini bags in beige but didn't like it. Meant to return it but forgot so I sold on vinted for £22! Profit!

When did they alter the design? My old beige one is more of a bumbag shape for the main bag and also has a zipped pocket at the back.

That back pocket was so useful for house keys/train tickets.

I saw the ones with the back pocket by the tills the other week - they were an off-shoot of the original I think.

LunaTheCat · 04/09/2023 10:53

nzeire. I am in NZ too .. didn’t know that you could order online!… off to frantically google!

Tenegrief · 04/09/2023 13:24

I bought the orange corduroy one and it's lovely - even nicer than I thought it would be!

Zhougzhoug · 04/09/2023 14:40

I bought the orange (rust, really) cord and it's great but unbeknown to me DH also bought the men's trousers in the same colour so we'll look like the fucking Von Trapps if we go out together

I think that gives you the perfect excuse to treat yourself to another one 🙂

An extra pocket on the outside would be amazing, as would a small zipped one on the inside. Having said that, even without those it's a great bag at a great price.

Talisin · 15/09/2023 15:04

I saw the black and beige versions of the larger ‘leather look’ bags in store today. They look nothing like leather - more like shiny plastic - and definitely not big enough for a laptop, as someone asked. They look pretty cheap and nasty tbh. Very disappointing.

Klaxon!

I popped into Uniqlo in Stratford Westfield today and they were selling discounted "old style" crossbody bags with the zipped back pocket for £12.90.

Beige, black, olive green and a dark purple.
