I've been seeing the Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag ($20) all over my social media feeds — on my TikTok FYP or splashed subtly throughout my Instagram feed and Stories. The shoulder bag is functional with a lightweight and water-repellent design, comes in a variety of stylish colors including both neutrals and bright tones, and best of all, it's affordable. Although the Round Mini Shoulder Bag looks cute and minimalist, I truly did not get the hype around it, until I tried it for myself.
Uniqlo's Round Mini Shoulder Bag belongs in Mary Poppins's closet. Although it has a small design, this bag can fit a lot, and I do not understand it. I was able to fit my phone, wallet, keys, earbuds, portable battery pack, claw clip, contacts case, sunglasses, rollerball perfume, lip products, hand lotion, mints, and even my Instax camera, and I still had some room left over. Other items I can fit in this bag: a small water bottle, an umbrella, a candle, and clementines. I was truly shocked by how spacious this bag is, making it so convenient for everyday use.
Another thing I love about the Round Mini Shoulder Bag is its flattering crescent shape that sits on your body perfectly, no matter how you choose to wear it. Whether it's a long crossbody, a top-handle bag, a shoulder bag, or it sits across the chest, you can wear this bag in a variety of ways and still look stylish. The adjustable strap is thick, so it feels sturdy and supportive on your shoulders and neck. I like to keep the zipper side facing the front for easier access. With its water-repellent coating, I actually found this bag to come in handy for more active and outdoorsy outings too, like hiking, golfing, or even attending music festivals.
With its unisex design and a plethora of color choices, this bag is perfect for anyone and everyone who needs an everyday, casual bag. Its durable and easy-access design is perfect for everything from running errands to attending music festivals. Plus, with the amount of stuff it fits, the Round Mini Shoulder Bag truly is one of the most functional bags I own that's small and actually stylish. At $20, this bag is truly a steal.
