Best “MAN BAG” on the market
I have been endlessly searching for years for that perfect crossbody - and I have finally found it! The Shinjuku is the perfect size, shape and weight with pockets/divides in all the right places. The superior quality is obvious as soon as you take the bag in your hands! And the cherry on top is that it is made by a small business! After using it for just one day, I ordered a second one in a different color!
Great little sling bag, perfect for travel or around town. I wish it had a couple of pen sleeves and a key tether.
I like the compartments and the waxed canvas. Their products have a history of durability & character.
Excellent form factor, organization, bright interior, and attractive exterior.

BEST IPAD MINI CASE
If you're taking along your iPad mini and don't want to carry it in a big bag, you can use the compact, lightweight Shinjuku Crossbody instead.
The Full Size Shinjuku Crossbody fits an iPad mini perfectly in its own padded compartment. When sightseeing, going to the museum, or attending an art class, you can stay nimble by carrying just what you need.
STAY SECURE
When visiting public spaces with your Shinjuku Crossbody, here's a clever feature to give you peace of mind — attach the bag's strap to your chair using the paragliding-style buckle located at the end of the strap.
Should someone take your Shinjuku Crossbody by mistake, they won't be able to pull it away from your chair without you noticing.
SHINJUKU COLLECTION
Inspired by the vibrant, fast-paced Tokyo neighborhood, the Shinjuku Collection is designed to help you nimbly navigate your way through crowds. These stylish bags are compact, lightweight, and comfortable to carry.
Crafted from traditional Waxed Canvas or modern Ballistic Nylon with full-grain leather accents and premium hardware, these bags are made to last.
GO BALLISTIC
Ballistic Nylon is a resilient textile that blends durability, lightness, and weather-resistance. Its sleek, understated aesthetic makes it an ideal choice for the Shinjuku Backpack, a bag designed to be comfortable, lightweight, and stylish.
TRADITIONAL 15 OZ. WAXED CANVAS
Not all waxed canvas bags are created equal. Lower quality bags use 6 oz. canvas. The majority designated as “durable” use 12 oz. canvas. At 15 oz., our waxed canvas exceeds what is commonly sold in the market, yet it's still lightweight. Its naturally rugged, distressed look and can be re-waxed to freshen it up.
We source our canvas from a reputable U.S. mill that has produced these fabrics since 1930. This specialized textile is coated with Martexin Original Wax™ and shouldn't require much cleaning. Stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth.
HOW TO FRESHEN UP CANVAS
If you have the Shinjuku Crossbody in traditional waxed canvas, you can keep it looking like new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although you can use any wax, you may want to try Martexin Original Wax™ which was initially used to coat your canvas bag.
made in usa
