What is the new Uniqlo half moon bag?

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.

Recently bought this from Roka and adore it - waterproof and so roomy!

Thanks for this. I am going to order one. I have to carry medication and it is too bulky for my other Roka bag.

The Roka Belsize handbag won’t stay on my shoulder

Isn’t it a cross body bag?

Belsize comes in two sizes smaller shoulder bag and a larger cross body

I like this too.

I have one of these (Osprey Ruby). It's lovely, but I never use it, because it holds practically nothing. The website says it's 3cm deep, but this is a bit of an exaggeration - it has no gusset at all and is basically two-dimensional.

Pity, because it's a very nice bag. (Apart from not being able to carry anything thicker than a phone.)

I bought an Osprey Ruby - I like the size (I wanted something neat and small) but I'm returning it because the crossbody strap is way too long for me - the bag sits too low on my waist (and I'm not short). I could have added extra holes on the strap to adjust it shorter I guess but didn't like it enough to start altering it.

Nothing will replace my half moon bag. After a lifetime of changing bags I'm into year four with mine. It's hands free and so secure. They could sort out the waterproofing though.

Unusually for me I find it quite fun seeing us all with the same bags.
