What is the new Uniqlo half moon bag?

[momager22]

Hi 👋
Wondering what’s going to replace this viral bag? (Handbag style: not rucksack)
I have a couple; they are bloody brilliant but are they becoming dated?
I love that I can stick them in the wash and the cross body means I don’t have to make an effort to keep it on my shoulder like I do with a tote or a shoulder bag.
So those who are ‘on trend’ …. What’s next after the Uniqlo one ? I suppose my style is quite Arket/ Uniqlo and I would consider leather but I don’t like anything twee or blingy…… and I hate those camera bags that say RIVER ISLAND or MICHAEL KORS down the strap.

I quite like this: https://www.oliverbonas.com/accessories/ida-chocolate-brown-faux-suede-sling-crossbody-bag

I keep coming back to these Olend ones, but I’m not sure about the fastening.
They come in 2 sizes, loads of colours - and can be work cross body/ shoulder and convert into a rucksack.

https://www.olend.net/products/compact-ona not sure if that last link worked

The Primark dupes have an outer pocket and a zipped one inside but not an actual divider. They are also slightly bigger.

Sacoche bags are everywhere but Im not convinced on the thin straps

These are quite popular

They changed the uniqlo one didnt they? My first one has a smaller zip pocket and an little internal one and a clippy strap?, the second didn't and i hated it.

Interesting. I like the sound of the Primark one.

I highly recommend these: https://bagsbymonty.com/

I have a medium in recycled nylon and I’m also going to buy a dinky in organic cotton.

Wow those are quite garish! 😂

On my commute lots of people have Roka cross body bags which are around the same price point as the Uniqlo ones.

I love the Uniqlo bags - they are so neutral and fashion “agnostic” (IYSWIM!) that I don’t think they will date. And they are like a tardis - I swear I could do an overnight trip with one if I just needed a change of pants, toothbrush and bit of deodorant!

Have you seen Baggu crescent bags? They are very similar to the Uniqlo ones and come in a variety of colours and also in leather. I have the medium size and it is brilliant. Fits a lot and has a couple of internal pockets. They are a US company, but can get them from a few places in UK, including Urban Outfitters sometimes.

This is a nice posher option

I do wish they would being back the old style; i shove my travelcard and housekeys in the small outer pocket so they are easy to grab and/or my phone.

I’ve been eyeing up the Oliver Bonas crossbody bags with interchangable straps (though I see Primark does something similar for £11. https://www.oliverbonas.com/accessories/bags/crossbody-bags?

Do they do a cross body style ? I can only see totes

Me too I love them even if they go out of style I don't think I can let them go 😂

Uniqlo have just launched a new take on the shape in their U line - larger and in coated cotton

@momager22Yes the nodo and the dinky are both cross body!

Antler have gorgeous ones

I love Roka! Loads of styles and massive range of colours - and most of them have lots of pockets / sections inside. Also have great sturdy zips.

I have two of these:

A Lila for days when it’s just my phone, keys, and a lip balm, and I recently ordered a Tank, which will fit my kindle or a paperback, a notebook, and everything else I need to carry.

you can lengthen the strap to make a cross body bag as well. Really useful if you wear a rucksack, or need hands free for anything else like shopping or kids.
