Bellroy Lite Sling Mini - Black

Great little bag for carrying a few essentials. Nice long strap with quick release. Oh and waterproof too.

I recently bought the Bellroy Lite Sling Mini prior to a trip to Europe, and it turned out to be an absolutely brilliant purchase. The bag really is 'lite' lightweight, so much so that you hardly notice it when you’re wearing it (empty). Even when it’s not in use, it folds down so compactly that it barely takes up any room in your backpack... huge bonus for travelling light.Before purchasing this bag, I was unsure of the magnetic latch mechanism. I wasn’t convinced it would be secure, but surprisingly, it's sturdy and doesn’t open unintentionally, even when you’re on the move.Despite its compact size, the bag is surprisingly spacious. It held everything I needed while travelling, including four passports, travel documents, my sunglasses, and my phone. My iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is probably the largest phone Apple currently makes, fit perfectly in the front pocket. I don’t use a case, so that might have helped, but contrary to some reviews, I had no issues at all. On top of that, there was still room for a small water bottle, which was really handy during day trips. The Airtag pocket was another clever feature, giving me peace of mind knowing I could track the bag if needed.If I had one minor complaint, it’s that the inner pocket isn’t protected/lined. A soft lining would make it much easier to store sunglasses without their case, as it would help prevent scratches. It’s a small thing, but it would make a noticeable difference.Overall, the Bellroy Lite Sling Mini is an excellent travel companion and is now part of my EDC. It’s light, practical, and holds far more than you’d expect given its size. While the lack of a lined pocket for sunglasses is a slight downside, it’s not enough to detract from how great this bag is. If you’re looking for a simple, stylish, and functional sling bag, this is it.

Brilliant bag. Well designed, comfortable with plenty of room for a "mini bag." Stylish and functional Highly recommend.

Lovely sling bag, well built, zippers are really slick and I love the fact you can zip them both ways. Water proof and extremely light, in fact probably the lightest edc I’ve ever had.The magnetic strap buckle is nice, but to be honest doesn’t make a big difference to me as I thought it would, I still found myself pulling it over my head as it made it easier to put it back on afterwards.The problem I have is that there is not much organisation inside the bag. It’s small so not a big problem but you do end up throwing everything inside and just dig around to find your stuff.And the biggest problem is the colour, I purchased the off white/grey colour and it quite frankly looks dirty half the time… it really easily picks up marks and scuffs (which can be washed off)

A perfect-sized bag for holidays and general getting around. Fits an average sized water bottle too. Exceptional build and materials. The design sits very flat/slim but will bulk out etc as you fill it with larger items.One of the benefits of this bag Vs the other Bellroy bags is the squish-ability of the bag, It's easy to fold up very small and crumple into a suitcase or backpack etc.

I wanted something small and discrete to hold just my phone, wallet and some other bits and bobs - but perhaps some expansion capability to take on a little extra - such as a lightweight running jacket.Well the day after it was delivered, I've already been out with it and found myself using almost all the features. For me they've got the sweet spot off it being 'small' but able to grow a little to take a bag to use for shipping or as above, a lightweight running jacket.The strap is the max width I'd want - a big wide strap is a nuisance if you're active, just makes you overheat!They're a bit expensive, but you are at least presented with a well made and will finished item. I really like it. Wish I'd bought a few months ago!

Love the size, I wanted something smallish, but enough for the essentials, phone, keys, charger and little things. This is perfect. The opening is designed perfectly you, so I can see what I need to get out. Great ripstop material and weather proof zips.. I’d like a bigger one now for bigger trips

This is nearly an excellent bag. I own the Venture Camera Sling, which is the best camera sling bag I’ve ever found, and wanted something smaller and ultralight for travelling with a minimal camera kit. This ticks the boxes, but falls foul of one major flaw, which is the buckle.I honestly have no idea why this bag even needs to have a separable strap, but someone decided it does, and in doing so they’ve created a way for someone to have the bag off your shoulder in under a second: simply grasp and slide the buckle, and pull the bag away.I’m not normally one to be too worried about having a bag stolen while wearing it, but it’s so ridiculously easy to steal this (or even to accidentally release the buckle and drop it) that I just couldn’t bring myself to keep it.(In case anyone wants to point out that the Camera Sling also has a separable strap: yes, it does, but: it’s almost impossible to accidentally separate it; it’s less easy to intentionally separate it to steal it; it’s less obvious that it’s even separable at all; and it allows the shoulder strap to be set up for either left- or right shoulder use because it has a quick-adjust mechanism that would otherwise only work on one shoulder.)I still haven’t found a suitable ultralight companion to the Camera Sling.Edit: I found an acceptable fix to the issue of the buckle, which is to neatly wrap black electrical tape around it. This prevents it being undone, while being completely negligible in terms of weight, bulk and appearance.
