EASTPAKTHE ONE Messenger Bag, 2.5 L

If you're buying an Eastpak bag, you expect robustness and good quality and this is no exception. It's tiny but big enough for a pair of sunglasses, a camera, phone and a small water bottle. There are two flat, zipped pockets - one at the front and one at the back but they aren't gusseted so they aren't much use for anything bulky - just suitable for tickets or paper. The strap is nice and thick so that it won't cut into your shoulder but the bag is so small you won't exactly be overloading it with anything heavy anyway.If you want a small bag for a few bits and bats, this is the thing for you and with a 30 year guarantee you should get plenty of use out of it before it shows any sign of wear. My hubby has a bigger one of these and he's had it for ten or more years and it still looks like new so, despite the price, it's worth buying. It's quite a masculine looking thing but I wouldn't have any issues with getting one for myself and there're loads of colours to choose from - go for it!

Just the right size for passports, keys, phone, wallet, ie. what you need for holidays & days out. All pockets have good, secure, zips. Well made.

Excellent quality and design. Compact in size.

Overall impression is that it's a solid bag and can hold a fair amount of items, much more convenient than lugging a big backpack around on your holiday or even in general like going to the beach. We all know how friends like to dump their stuff in your bag and make you carry it... 😒Well made bag, fabric and strap feels really strong and durable. Strap max length is around 3ft and at its shortest length, you could wear it as a necklace 😄Four zipped pockets total - one front, one on the reverse, one at the main compartment and then another one inside the main compartment. Definitely a must have bag and can fit all of your daily essentials when you're travelling - Phone, wallet/cash, charger, power bank, passport, water bottle, snacks, cigarettes, lighter, sunglasses etc.I'd definitely recommend one of these as opposed to carrying a big bag. Last time I was in Barcelona I didn't have one of these but I did have my rucksack, I was naive and decided to keep my phone in my pocket instead of in my backpack. I paid for that by getting pickpocketed on the metro and had my £800 phone stolen. I'm not making that mistake again.

I seem to always be complaining about products that are 'blingy' 'shiny' rubbish - as if we are all crows attracted to anything that shines, waiting to be hypnotized. This is a great little bag without any of the fuss. It practical, it holds a good sized purse or wallet and a large smartphone and keys without any trouble. Its hard to find a bag that isn't too big or too small and doesn't have the shiny frills. Its made well, and is comfortable. Its great when I'm dog walking but looks smart enough for any outing. At last Ive found the bag I like.

looking forward to trying it out. The zip is of good quality, the straps are long and look as though they can take more weight than the bag can hold. I have a bumbag but its awkward and it tends to have too much in it. So, this is Ideal for my Phone and passport they fit really nice inside the bag.

I have used this bag now for more than a year. I find it is completely unobtrusive when getting in or out of the car. Access to the bag is a very reliable zip with a cord attached to make it more glove-friendly. I can easily fit inside what I need for my every day such as phone, keys, meds and notebook etc - it is very hard-wearing too. I thought I would use it just occasionally but I have found myself using it daily. It's not waterproof but hey, you can pop it into a rucksack or grab an umbrella if it rains. Superb, I even bought one for a friend.

Good quality, robust. Fits my keys, purse, glasses and phone. Would need a bigger bag if I wanted to carry a drink or snack too.
