Crafted from lightweight, water-resistant X-Pac® canvas or traditional waxed canvas and full-grain leather, WaterField Designs' stylish new Shinjuku Sling for iPhone 16 carries and organizes essentials safely and comfortably all day, leaving hands free.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- San Francisco's WaterField Designs introduces the compact Shinjuku Sling for iPhone 16, a mini crossbody designed to keep essentials — the Apple iPhone 16, wallet, keys, Air Pods, and even certain small water bottles — organized and close at hand. Designed for all-day comfort, the lightweight sling bag keeps hands free whether navigating bustling city streets, dancing at a music festival, or exploring new destinations. An innovative quick-release strap buckle allows users to put on or remove the sling bag without lifting it overhead, thread items like a hat or larger water bottle through the strap, or attach it to a stationary object when seated to outsmart potential thieves.
"The Shinjuku Sling is so lightweight that I barely feel it, and I no longer worry that I might sit on my phone or lose it out of my back pocket. It completely unburdens my pockets," said company owner Gary WaterField. "The subtle, smart aesthetic looks good over or under my jacket, and it's just so easy to grab and go."
Handcrafted from high-performance X-Pac® canvas or classic waxed canvas paired with full-grain leather, the compact sling features pockets carefully designed for both convenience and security. A front zippered pocket stores frequently needed items like a metro card or reading glasses. Inside, a side pocket padded with foam keeps the iPhone 16 (or similarly sized smartphone) protected, and two stretch pockets on the facing side hold AirPods and other small items. The central compartment fits a slim 8 to 16 oz. water bottle or a glasses case, and a discreet rear zippered pocket keeps a passport or other important documents safely hidden.
Features:
- Made from ultra-light, high-performance, abrasion- and water-resistant X11 X-Pac® canvas or traditional rugged waxed canvas, each paired with full-grain leather.
- Compact main compartment fits a wallet, keys, iPhone 16, mints, AirPods, and certain 8 - 16 oz. water bottles or a sunglass case.
- Interior pocket with protective foam on one side keeps an iPhone 16 shielded from other contents. (Also fits similarly sized smartphones or the Amazon Kindle.)
- Two stretchy interior pockets organize Apple AirPods and other small items.
- Front zippered pocket stows quick-access items like a metro card, reading glasses, etc.
- Discreet rear zippered pocket safeguards a passport or other critical items.
- Gold, diamond-patterned liner illuminates interior of main compartment and pockets.
- Adjustable strap attaches on one side with a quick-release paragliding-style buckle: allows wearer to hook sling onto a chair to deter potential thieves, thread the strap through a water bottle or cap to add storage capability, and put on and remove the sling without lifting it overhead.
- YKK waterproof zippers protect contents from the elements.
- Dual custom metal zipper pulls grant access from either side.
- Handcrafted in WaterField Designs' San Francisco sewing studio.
