Good quality bag and perfect to take out on day trips while on holiday/at festivals. Easily managed to pack in the all the essentials I wanted to take.
It does however come ‘flat packed’ in a plastic bag and looks a lil’ sad when you first get it. So you might want to stuff it, put something heavy in it and hang it up for a day or two for it to air out.
Bought for my son as he has recently got a phone and will need to start using and Oyster zip card to travel on buses. This bag is well made and has just the right amount of pockets (3) to keep my son’s belongings safe and zipped away. Adjustable strap makes it easy to get the bag at a comfortable height.
Eastpak do make stuff to last and this is no exception. Easily holds wallet, phone, pet treats, doggy bags and the wifes phone. And Lipstick. And tissues. Looks cool too.
Robust, decent size and good zips. Really needs a shoulder pad (found one on Amazon) as the strap digs in whilst wearing eg crew neck T’s. I would rather the bag came with one and pay another 5 tbh.
Went away recently and didn’t want to have everything stuffed into pockets for walking about a busy city. This was perfect – good size and good number of pockets. Would definitely get again, although I used the bag for a week and it still looks fresh.
Slim block charger, USB charger, Plug for charger, lighter, house keys, car keys, small roll up spare shopping bag, AirPods, pocket umbrella, pocket torch and phone all fit inside this bag. Worth purchase.
This is a great little cross-body bag. I bought it to use on holiday abroad, and it’s the perfect size for my passport, mobile phone and wallet/purse. Fits nice and comfortably across my body, making it convenient by freeing up both of my hands. I will continue to use it at work when. I return after my holiday, as it’s just right for carrying my notebook and pens in, plus a small snack. As I often need to push wheelchairs in my job, this is just perfect. Great produc
Great build quality,lots of pockets, plenty of strap adjustments, the only small fault are the zip pulls which can come undone if you are not careful (hint: go round and make sure they are all properly tied).
This is closer to A5 size but still fits two 500ml water bottles in it, and has a couple of zippy pockets for storing tickets etc. Plenty of adjustment on the strap. No need to carry things in your hand or stuff them in your pockets.
Well worth the 16-odd quid I paid for the black one.
I received the product as advertised. It is not a “fancy” or particularly stylish bag, but it is sturdy and surprisingly spacious, has internal and external pockets and an adjustable strap, and was good for travel. I also bought it planning to remove the little “rope” pull strings on the zippers; they were very easy to remove.
I wear this bag everywhere. For the small size it still fits all my essentials: ID, deodorant, spray, phone, and charger. I’ve even put spare t-shirts or snacks in the bag. I use this bag for the gym, work, travel and general use just to carry essentials for the day. There seems to be no wear and tear and still in perfect condition. Couldn’t recommended enough, could be worn by any gender and suits all styles.
This is a great crossbody bag for all purposes. I have had it for 5/6 years now and it’s perfect for going out clubbing, travelling, dog walks and more. It can fit a surprising amount in it for how small it is and has lots of zips and compartments for stuff. It was my main ‘going out’ bag throughout university as it fit keys, phone, makeup, wallet and headphones in it without being too full and hard to find things. The strap is completely adjustable so can wear long or short and therefore would also fit cross-body on a variety of body types and shapes. I have machine washed it 2 or 3 times before and it hasn’t impacted the quality or fallen apart at any stage, however I have the black one so dirty very rarely shows up on it anyway and there is not much reason to wash it regularly. It really just is a great bag all round, super sturdy and reliable.
Useful, comfortable to waer, easy to use and larger capacity than you expec
Several zip compartments, holds a surprising amount of stuff for a small bag and the strap is good quality and adjustable
This hit the mark totally having considered loads of alternatives – stops pockets being full of wallets and phones, but provides space for other essentials. Overal top top produc
Brought to travel with a DJI mini 2 drone. Fits great and a high quality product.
Let’s be honest. It’s a handbag. For men.
I have a similar one, my son expressed quite an interest so I bought one of these for his 10th birthday. He was over the moon. I am jealous. Great quality. Ample size. Easy to carry. Inconspicuous way to carry larger items and keep one’s pockets free. In honesty not a bad word to say about it in this particular usecase.
I miss it to be honest.
perfect for what required although sent back as got one borrowed. if needing one would recommend this
Internal zipped pocket and two external pockets means for a little bag there’s lots of compartments to keep your essentials separate.
The outside-facing external zip is lipped and feels very secure, it’s less easy to open which is not a bad thing. The outside one facing your body is easy to open but being close to your body I have no worries about pickpocketing.
The wide strap feels very sturdy while spreading the pressure out, and the edges of it aren’t scratchy considering the thickness of it so it’s comfortable across the neck & shoulder. Lightweight too, considering how bomb-proof it seems.
It’s great as something to keep your keys, charger cable, wallet, headphones, chewing gum, whatever in, either to wear by itself or to chuck in another bag knowing you have all the bits I’d normally move from bag to bag.
I should mention I bought the smaller, 18cm bag which I ended up returning. This larger bag has more compartments and space despite not being a lot larger. The smaller bag for the main compartment has a zip that goes further down the edges so seems less secure or felt like stuff might fall out whereas with this one I can leave the main zip opened without worry. The smaller one sits more flush with the body when not too full which was nice but it seemed more suitable for only small items as it would quickly get thicker. It was nice that it had a removable strap though, which would be a nice change for the larger one (although it being fixed does lend to feeling more sturdy).
I ended up removing an old pad from an old messenger bag and making it fit the strap of the Eastpak. Would better in my opinion if the strap were removable, but it’s not. If it were I could have simply swapped the whole strap.
Anyway after bodging it I took it on a day out, and it still wasn’t that comfortable.
For the price paid I probably shouldn’t grumble, but also can’t see why people give these bags such overwhelmingly positive review.
For reference the bag did have some heavy equipment in it. But I could feel it cutting when I tried it on when empty.
Eastpak – I’d suggest either a simple pad to stop cutting / rubbing, or the option to swap straps, by having buckles on both sides of the bag and not one buckle, and the other side of the strap sewn to the bag.
At the time eastpak crossbody were in. I had had EASTPAK OUT OF OFFICE rucksack for two years and was really impressed with it so I decided to get THE ONE.
I can say that it changed my life. I honestly cannot imagine going out of the house without it. I take it everywhere I go. It is big enough for the essentials…phone wallet keys boarding pass but small enough so thar you forget you even have it. I simply don’t how I managed without a crossbody bag. In fact I often didn’t cope as I lost everything. Eastpak THE ONE is the one because it it is very durable and is spacious and looks good. It useful especially in situations where you need things on the fly.
I am not giving five stars because the front pouch is difficult to access. That is a small design flaw. In fact I only use that pouch for things I use once in a while (like headphones).
The ONE – Durable, stylish, spacious and cheap (I got it for 15 back in 2019…). I recommened this over other crossbody by eastpak because The ONE has sturdier straps.
This small bag made by Eastpak & called ‘The One’ really is a special one! It is a small crossbody bag with along adjustable but non-detachable shoulder strap. Made from good quality polyester material (and available in about 14 colours – something for everyone). Has one large main compartment with inner zipped pocket, outer zipped pocket which will be closest to your body when wearing the bag and an outer zipped pocket on the front of the bag. I’ve managed to fit x2 6.1 inch smartphones, small pack of tissues, wallet, house & bike keys, covid facemask, spare change in bag, and travel pass into mine. Highly recommended.
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!
