The newly reduced bag has been a hit on social media ever since it first came out, with thousands sharing glowing feedback
A Uniqlo customer has expressed her astonishment after managing to pack everything she needed for an ‘entire holiday’ into the store’s popular £13 Round Mini Shoulder Bag. Even better, this ‘handy’ yet ‘stylish’ bag is currently on sale for less than its usual price, making it a perfect time for anyone with an upcoming trip.
Travel blogger Chelsea, known as Cheap Holiday Expert on TikTok, shared her compact packing skills with her followers. “I did a three-day holiday in a Uniqlo bag,” she said.
She explained that she used the Round Mini Shoulder Bag for a budget trip to Albania. She demonstrated how she packed a small selection of clothes into a vacuum bag and then into the £13 handbag.
She also managed to fit her toiletries into small pots, which easily slid into the Uniqlo bag, along with travel-sized makeup products. As for her phone, power bank, tripod, earphones, money, keys, and passport, she said she kept those on her person in her trouser and jacket pockets, reports Bristol Live.
She also took a laptop and camera with her as a regular blogger, which she admitted she kept in a backpack. She said: “We all know that it’s basically a Mary Poppins bag, and so I started wondering whether it was possible to do an entire holiday in one… I just thought it would be fun to test my Uniqlo bag theory whilst I was there.”
She concluded: “I’m very happy to say – IT WAS TOTALLY POSSIBLE!” Chelsea used Uniqlo’s trendy Round Mini Shoulder Bag. This bag has been a social media sensation since its release, with numerous videos about it going viral on TikTok.
The versatile, unisex Round Mini Shoulder Bag is available in 10 colours, including pink, off-white, black, natural, olive, brown, and beige, making it easy to pair with any outfit. Normally £14.90, the bag is now available for £12.90 for a limited time.
Surprisingly, its compact design offers ample storage. The casual nylon fabric has a natural texture and a semi-water-repellent finish, protecting against light rain. Over 2,100 customers have reviewed the Round Mini Shoulder Bag on Uniqlo’s website, giving it an impressive 4.8-star rating.
One customer wrote: “Very practical, adjustable and lots of things fit inside.” Another reviewer agreed: “It’s great, it fits everything you need for everyday life.” A third customer said: “Great bag, fits so much! Perfect for travelling! I use it every day.”
A fourth reviewer commented: “Great product, I have several colours so I can change! ” Another reviewer stated: “It’s not a very big bag, but it can hold a lot of things. Because of its shape, it’s very comfortable to carry and to access its contents, the material is durable and pleasant.”
One fan gushed about the popular bag, sharing: “It’s my favourite bag. It’s super comfortable, has an incredible texture, and it also has a beautiful colour and doesn’t get dirty easily. When spring comes, I won’t use anything else.”
Someone said: “It goes with me everywhere I go; I have it in several colours, very practical and for all seasons, even in the rain!” Another added: “Easy to carry, lightweight. Practical with its two pockets inside, you can put a lot in it: wallet, mobile phone, small pouch, hand sanitizer, cream, even your water bottle.”
Nevertheless, not all feedback was glowing, with some customers detailing their less-than-perfect experiences. A disgruntled user pointed out: “Be careful with the colour you choose, as it can stain easily. And therefore pay attention to the washing instructions.”
Another slammed the material quality: “Feels cheap, looks even cheaper.” A further review cited a serious flaw: “Use the bag for a while. Walked in the rain and the black bag started to leak. My clothes and coat have become black ink.”
