I\u2019ve always heard and read that the Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag<\/a> is meant to be a bit of a \u2018Tardis\u2019 when it comes to packing for a short break\/overnight stay. <\/p>\n

Seeing as I\u2019m a serial over packer, I wanted to see what you could really get inside, and if it was a good as everyone else has been saying – especially with two bank holidays on the way.<\/p>\n

Usually, I\u2019m that girl that packs a million pairs of pants for a short trip, so knew that was the first thing I\u2019d have to cut down \u2013 along with an obscene amount of beauty products\u2026<\/p>\n

Hypothetically, when you go away for the weekend, you need at least a light jacket, two pairs of jeans (but one will be packed, and one worn, along with the jacket), jumper (also worn), top for the evening, few pairs of pants, pyjamas (unless you enjoy sleeping in the nude), beauty bits, toothbrush\u2026 So that\u2019s what I did.<\/p>\n

Into my \u00a314.90 gingham printed Round Mini Shoulder Bag<\/a>, I shoved as much as I could inside.<\/p>\n

\"Uniqlo<\/a><\/p>\n

Round Mini Shoulder Bag (Gingham)<\/h2>\n

The Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag (Gingham) is a stylish and practical accessory made from seersucker fabric with a charming gingham check pattern. It features a water-repellent finish, dimensions of 11" (width) x 6.7" (height) x 3.9" (depth), and a capacity of 4 litres. Despite its compact size, it offers surprising storage capacity, making it perfect for everyday use.<\/p>\n

The moment I forced my jeans in the bag though, I was in trouble as they\u2019re so thick \u2013 so it looks like I\u2019m just travelling with the one, and my trusty Tide pen to get rid of anything I might spill on them.<\/p>\n

Once they were removed, I started again and managed to get in one t-shirt, one blouse, makeup, FOUR pairs of pants (yolo), toothbrush (out of shot), charger, and essential skincare for a short trip.<\/p>\n

Missing would be my skincare, swimwear (should that be required), and another pair of shoes\/boots.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"Everything<\/a>\t<\/div>
Bye bye jeans – looks like I;d have to be sensible using this bag as my only piece of luggage. (Picture: Metro\/Sarah Bradbury<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whist I would agree the bag is spacious for sure, for me, I\u2019m just not buying the fact you could use it for a short break \u2013 unless the weather was going to be consistent. At most, an overnight stay at a mate\u2019s house and you need to transport the essentials to and from the pub back to theirs, but it\u2019s not one for longer than that \u2013 soz Uniqlo. What I would love to see though is a slightly larger version \u2013 just a few inches more and I think it could be on to something.<\/p>\n

To the 36 people that have given this design the full five-stars, Mandy hailed it: \u2018Amazing quality, beautiful design.\u2019 She went on to add: \u2018Fits a lot of things inside the bag. This is my first bag from Uniqlo, I knew I had to get it when it came out in this beautiful pattern.\u2019<\/p>\n

Mrs B agreed and said: \u2018I’ve got this bag in so many colours. It’s brilliant, looks smart, comfortable to wear, and secure. Holds a ridiculously large amount. Great quality too.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"The<\/a>\t<\/div>
Minus the jeans, this is everything I managed to cram in, along with a few pairs of pants too. (Picture: Metro\/Sarah Bradbury)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018I bought this bag for my wife as she already has a couple of these round mini shoulder bags but she wanted the pinks one. And she absolutely loves it,\u2019 mentioned BillKMC.<\/p>\n

Another five-star reviewer called JChem said: \u2018Fantastic bag to have. Even though by looking the size seems to be quite petite, but the volume and the amount of stuff that it can take in, INCREDIBLE!. Love the design too and it is waterproof, definitely the best fit for London’s weather.\u2019<\/p>\n

So if you can pack really light, then I would say this could just about fit in all the essentials you\u2019d need for a weekend, but if like me you also need to pack more \u2013 then opt for splitting a cabin bag \u2013 but at least take this as your day bag because you really can pack quite a bit inside.<\/p>\n
