Bellroy Sling - Melbourne Black

Was recommended this bag to use as I’m a pro photographer - and wow, I’m really impressed. It’s great to wear, comfy, looks great on. I can sling my camera over me and sling this bag too and I don’t feel weighed down. I’ve used many camera bags including specially camera ones, but this Bellroy sling is coming out as the best - material, feel, safety, quality. Feel like I may order one in each size right now!

Beautifully Made

The bag itself, wow. As a man that wears glasses and has to carry both sunnies and specs on a regular this bag has made my life so much easier. The size itself is small enough to be comfortable for everyday use but still roomy enough to allow you pack your everyday essentials.The colour is even better in person I love the different compartments within the bag. The straps not too wide which makes it great to wear how ever you prefer.I ordered it on Thursdays afternoon and it arrived today... quick and easy. First time on this site and definitely will not tbe the last time.

Bellroy bag 🎒

The product is great. This is my second bellroy bag. I upgraded from mini to normal size sling bag, as I needed more space for all my items. Size make definitely the diffrence, but bag still look very nice. The most practical bag I ever had. Straps are ok, no issues with them. Shipping was super fast. Thank you.

Good Creative Crossbody Bag

The Bellroy Sling is a quality casual crossbody bag with some interesting innovations. The quality and attention to detail is good. The charcoal colour material was a soft light canvas (different colours are different materials - the Lunar was heavier and more rigid, but more water/stain resistant and durable). It is a good size allowing you to carry a significant amount for the day (if you just need to carry basic pocket items, the Sling Mini will be sufficient). The best feature is the magnetic clasp. It is very easy and smooth to use, requiring both hands to push and twist to release. The more questionable feature is the expandability which is great in theory, but awkward in practice. When fully loaded, the bag no longer conforms to the body and is uncomfortable ... MoreThe Bellroy Sling is a quality casual crossbody bag with some interesting innovations.

When fully loaded, the bag no longer conforms to the body and is uncomfortable on the back. When lightly packed, the straps will naturally compress the bag smaller, but the excess material may not fold cleanly resulting in a sloppy appearance. Overall, quality casual sling, but would not pack it to the max.

Good bag to travel light

I needed a bag to keep my belonging secure for a trip to India. I didn’t want to carry a backpack but needed a bag big enough to hold a 500 mL water bottle. I like the fact that it expands and fold depending on the stuff you put in, with the straps. I feel this bag will be useful for bike rides. I would buy again.

Nice bag

This is a fairly large bag. I like the Material used. The padded back of the bag is a nice touch. The magnetic clasp is interesting, so far I have not had any issues with it. However, I find that the belt is thinner than most other bags that would probably be used as a cross-body bag rather than a fanny pack. I like the bag but I was hoping for some more pockets/dividers in the large compartment. This bag can carry a lot but it will not be organized. It's a nice bag if you are looking for something with a large pouch.

Sturdy sling bag

I purchased this item for travel purposes. It is slightly larger and heavier than the lite version but certainly appears more premium build with high-quality fabric and strap material. The sturdier construction ensures durability and the ways zippers open are very functional.

Worked well

Well built and appears to be high quality materials that will last a while. Love the magnetic clasp and the soft pocket for sunglasses. The only negative I found was the contents within the smaller pocket was more difficult to access when the larger pocket was full. This was my first foray into wearing a sling bag and I liked it. The bag is not huge so do not expect it to hold everything - it will not hold a dslr.

love its versatility

It is rigid which is both pro and con at the same time. I wear it frequently and like its versatility as it can be worn across the chest as a sling bag or on the shoulder as a purse. I initially purchased for a long trip and wanted to carry a camera in it, but it arrived a bit too late. The material tends to attract dust particles, and it shows as it's in black. Overall I am happy with the purchase.
