BellroySling Mini Premium (4 liters, leather crossbody bag, sunglasses, phone, wallet, small everyday items) - BlackSand

Good quality but size is a bit small

It took me WAY too long to finally settle upon this sling. At first, I thought it was too stiff, then at times, I didn't like the way it looked, but then I finally came back around and kept this one.The grey is nice since it's different enough from the typical black slings that seemingly 95% of people have, and it's neutral enough to go with almost any clothing color combo.This is small enough to still feel lightweight but just large enough to fit my Groove Life wallet (with their Leather Go attachment), car and house keys, and my 14 Pro Max (with no case) in the front pocket. The larger, expandable gusset holds my random items like a passport (when needed), microfiber cloth, chapstick, and whatever else I need throughout the day or random trips.If you need anything more than a few small everyday items, I'd suggest going up to Bellroy's 7L version of this bag. This 4L version is more of a "pocket reliever," and it's definitely nice when wearing athletic shorts so my keys and phone don't get tossed or moved just from walking around, or worse, falling out when sitting down somewhere.The front leather panel is a nice suede. The details are amazing with the orange stitching on the sides of the "bellroy" indented logo on the front, and the strap feels thick and of quality. The magnetic clasp is also nice and strong. There are little claws that prevent the buckle from easily detaching if someone tries to steal it or just general movements. The magnetic clasp is also nice when needing to take the sling off/on instead of needing to look like you're dancing to the YMCA song.Overall, for the price, it might seem steep for a sling, but with the materials, leather panel, the two smaller organization pockets in the front, the "self-compressing" feature, and the overall look, I personally think this was a good purchase. Not only does it look good when wearing casual clothes, but the leather also adds a nice pop when needing to dress up. Nice, Bellroy!

I’ve looked at several bags, including aer city/day sling (practical but too bulky) and heimplanet (a bit too small w an obnoxious logo you can’t remove as it’s printed on the bag :/) but this one looks/feels the best. It’s big enough to carry two phones, keys, and a wallet among others without being too bulky. I particularly chose the premium for its color, deepplum, and it did not disappoint. The black leather mixed w deep plum color combination just works. Is it worth more than double of the regular sling mini? Eh, that’s a personal decision, but definitely a “no” if the bag costs more than what you carry in your wallet… well… I don’t, but I still got it due to its color and quality :)

I liked the bag and it's very practical. I recently took it on a trip with me and it worked well to keep my hands free. On a regular it fits my wallet, keys, small bottle of sanitizer, and sunglasses (without case). If you organize everything well, you can squeeze in a 350ml of bottled water. It definitely does not fit a foldable umbrella unless there's nothing else in it. Overall, I find it good for what it is but on the expensive side and definitely not worth the extra $$ to splurge on a front leather panel and different coloured strap.

Recomendable

My wife loved it. All her friends want one now. I did a lot of research and every single piece of marital is awesome. The only problem is that it a a bit hard to access but not enough of an issue to not give it 5 starts
