ARAKAWA & Anthology Bundle (Slingpack + Tee)

Rigid and durable design that will last a long time. Fits comfortably across the body and all wearing styles

I never usually review things, but for this bag I feel I need to. I’ve been traveling around south east Asia for the last month wearing the bag everyday, and it looks good as new. No scratches, wear or damage from hikes/motorbike trails. Would highly recommend, other than the high price tag and slow shipping (which is understandable), nothing to complain about.

Perfect for when I dont want to bring a backpack everywhere. I use it daily, including while at work as a bouncer.

Easily accessible on my chest while on commute, or snug in place on my back when I need the space in front free.

Ive been able to fit x2 12oz Energy drinks + my windbreaker in main pocket at the same time, along with various tools for work, cigs, lighters cash, gloves.....this bag is much bigger than you think, if you know how to pack it correctly.

Super happy with its performance and quality.

Good Job Keep and SJ 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great sling bag. Lots of room and the sode pouches are the perfect size for my Meshcore repeater while im out and about.

Nicely made, poorly designed.

1. the front pock has almost zero volume to it. It's good for business cards but not much else. Don't expect to get a few sets of keys in it.
2. All mesh pockets on this item should be elasticated. It's mind boggling (especially at this price) that they're not. Because they're not, functionality, ease of use and access is much reduced. It also puts undue pressure on the central stitching of the main inside mesh pockets. See pic.
3. the top pocket zip should have a longer range of motion. it renders the far edges of the central pocket inaccessible.

Overall needs a redesign at this price point. Disappointing.

Great bag perfect size.

It's a solid product with a smart design.
I only have one complaint or adjustment id like to see is the elastic bands inside sitt weary low on the inside so its hard to be useful for me

Practical, large pockets and the double strap system allows for comfortable carrying

I broke it right off. My fault but it set the tone for my opinion. I can’t bring myself to get excited about a bag. It’s a good bag. It seems to be of good quality. Actually, when I think about it. It’s the delivery shipping. Nd suppose custom duties that set the tone. The bag is already over priced and if I had thought about the surprise customs duties and overtaxation I would not have bought it.

I fix the broken plastic fastener with a titanium split ring so technically it’s better than new now.

Superb quality.

Amazing style, and I love the patches too

Initially really enjoyed the bag and still quite happy with its look and function but after about a month there are small aspects of build quality that im less happy with.

First issue, when worn on the back the buckle tends to sit on and dig into my shoulder especially when biking.
Second the little loop of webbing to hold the strap slack is unraveling (easily replaced but still) and the folded tail of the strap is starting to come unstiched.
Third the mesh side pouches dont feel like theyll last long and the grommet for the cinch on one side has come out.
Last the top carry handle has quickly begun to get sort of fuzzy with loose fibers.

Aestheticaly awesome and the main body of the bag is seemingly built well but the peripheral parts seem a little lacking. I image it will wear like a velveteen rabbit. Ears eyes and fur rubbed off from years of love.
I dont regret the purchase and I hope the money goes well to support Ukraine.

Final note, wishlist:
I wish there had been some loops or something on the underside so that I could add stretchy cord to fit a rolled up puffer or shell jacket.

Service was helpful and delivery to the UK very punctual. Bag is top notch qiality and looks great

It got here faster than I expected and everything on the bag just feels like quality. Slava Ukraini!

Good quality and design!
Compact and waterproof and built to last.

I use my slingpack for long walks and hikes , to have my documents telephone and small snacks for grabs.

Слава Україні and greetings from the Netherlands

very high quality bag with a lot of space. Great product

This sling bag was everything I was looking for. Having velcro for morale patches on the front is great, which is not a common feature with other sling bags. I am taking advantage of the 1 litre capacity for EDC items including my insulin pens, pen tops and glucose tablets.

Very impressed with the quality and details, it shows that a lot of thought has gone into the design and then care during manufacturing.

I enjoy this Pack since Day One.

Fast to adjust with the smooth Seatbelty fabric with buckle and D-ring system.
Holds tight and feels very comfortable on the Hip front or back. Nice padding on the inside valuables pouch.
Crossbody wear is equally satisfying.
Very spacious in the Main pocket.
I've read before that the front pocket would be flat tight but I seem to fit a pair of emergency clothes scissors, 2 chapsticks, pocket change, folded bills and Credit cards and such also in the mesh pockets inside.

Love the overall haptic feel of the different fabrics used as well as smooth zippers with nice pull tabs and the unique main handle design.
Lots of possibilities of attachments, like carabiners on the sewn on loops.
And of course people who like decorating with patches have plenty of space.

In my case the bag had 2 manufacturing issues until now. They happened around a week after first use.
First, the end of the main handle fabric came out frayed, halfway outside of the stitching. Where the end of it goes hidden inside the bags topside stitching. my attached carabiner had probably loosened it. Seems the Band wasn't held in by the stitching.
I managed to repair it myself as I have sewing machine skills and secured the band and stitching again.
Otherwise it would have been a reason for a replacement.
Secondly, one end of the drawstring on a side mesh pocket came loose out of the bags stitching. I have yet to fix that, but will soon.

I know this can rarely happen in production when the needle and thread miss the string or band while sewing the bag together, as I have worked in bag making as well.
Just thought I'd let you know.

Nevertheless I am very happy with my new everyday Pack, made in Ukraine, Made in Europe.
Best wishes

It's great exactly as shown great quality

I've just begun to really use this bag. I just started biking and it has been a nice light carry. So far really like it aestheticaly and functionaly but I did thing it was gonna be a tad bigger. Excited to see how it wears over time.
