Shinzi Katoh Series Crossbody Bag
Saturday, Apr. 7, 2012 | 43 Comments
Recently received this Shinzi Katoh purse from iswas on Yesstyle. I was looking for an easy little summer bag. Sometimes when I go out I only want to bring my phone + wallet. In winter I just use coat pockets and leave my larger bags at home. But in summer I don’t always have large pocket options. So I wanted something small and no-fuss.
I’ve already used this bag a ton of times. It’s perfect. :deco2: It’s extremely light and moves easily with you. I chose a color that would work with just about anything. Beige. Though the brown and navy were really appealing too. It comes with two strap lengths. I choose to use the longer strap for the crossbody option.
I love how simple this design is compared to my other bags which are covered in vintage style buckles, straps and clasp details. This one is so simple and sweet. It fits my iPhone, wallet, and often a few other things like tubes of lipstick, another small pouch, etc. It has a zip pouch on the inside as well. I love it. :deco3:
:)

i love this bag!!!definitely on my to-buy list.
also nice new blog look :) seems more mature+classy now?
Does it? I just wanted more white-space for spring/summer lol
This little bag really suits you well, especially the shape and color of it. I’m OK with the bird symbol that’s on the bag, it kind of reminds me of the bird from Hollister and/ Abercrombie & Fitch haha.
I also use my pockets for wallets and keys, but yeah, in the summer and spring, I have to use a bag/purse to carry them. I need a new small bag btw, mine are falling apart. Wah!
Hahahah that never crossed my mind! I’m so used to seeing Shinzi Katoh items and the typical bird symbol that’s used on them.
So cute! I love Shinzi Katoh stuff, it’s always so dreamy and cute.
Agreed. I have a Shinzi Katoh wallet and a phone case that I love just as much!
aww that’s really sweet!
bob hair really suits you. :-)
anyway, happy belated birthday to you(tried to wish you on twitter but i think it went missing @@;)!
Awe thank you. Yeah the consensus in my offline life agrees, bob hair suits me best!
that is such a lovely bag!
Thanks Antonia!
I love that bag!!! I want now!! It’s simple but I think there is some nice charm to it
Agreed! I suddenly wanted something simple but not too boring. I especially liked the contrast piping on it!
I was surprised the bag was small XD Looking at just the first pic I thought it was bigger. It matches your outfit colour scheme perfectly! Btw that is a very cute bob haristyle :)
Yeah it must have looked bigger in the previous entry. I always measure things out before purchasing anything & knew how small it would be or better yet how “perfectly sized” it would be for what I wanted :)
So cute, & OMG YOUR HAIRCUT!!! *loves*
Ah thank yooooooou Tori! :)
Ohhh!!! You cut your hair so shooort!
I thought you will let it grow longer ^^
Nah, letting it grow a full year was good enough. I had stopped blowing drying & styling every day. When I find myself “not trying” I feel it’s time for change! So, I changed! :D
gimme dat BAG
STOP CUTTING YOUR HAIR WTF
ahahahaha I love that I’ve let it grow for over a year without cutting and people say “weren’t you going to grow it out?” But I’m like “I DID! FOR OVER 1 YEAR STRAIGHT!” xDD
The bag is super cute! And I do like beige colour the best~
Agreed, I wanted something that was light for summer and somewhat easy to match :)
The bag looks really good on you!! (you don’t normally say that about bags but anyway…) I’m tempted to get one for myself now.
Btw your hair looks really cute ^^
Thanks Jinny!
lovely bag :3
Thanks Fanny!
I am slowly discovering how much I love Shinzi Katoh stuff. And luckily, it is a randomly popular brand here!!!
OK but back to your bag. STILL LOVE IT. Actually, I didn’t realize how small it was until this post; I thought it was a bit bigger. But it really IS the perfect size. I always buy bags based on whether or not my camera will fit lol
Haha well this bag is definitely small. Probably the smallest one I own not counting small handle canvas bags. I could fit my PEN but nothing else, if I wanted to. It sort of flares out on the bottom which is a nice touch! The best thing is how soft and flexible the strap is.
Adorable bag, I love how small and simple it is. The little bird is a nice detail!
I so need a bag like this, a cross body bag seems like it would put less stress on shoulders, not to mention a small bag where you’re forced to only carry the essentials :)
I definitely think the smallness is a factor!! Plus a good bag to strap-size ratio is important. Basically the bigger the bag the bigger the strap (for comfort at least.) I have this one large cross body bag that I ADORE but as it gets filled the very thin strap digs into my shoulder. If the straps were just a bit wider the weight wouldn’t pull on me so much :( #endrant
Cute haircut~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The bag is nice too :D
Thanks! Finally got to shampoo it today after letting the perm settle :P Now it’s so bouncy and full of body again! Haven’t had one since last April and they only last 2~3 months in my thin hair :(
The bag looks nice~! ♡ I always find something when scrolling at Yesstyle haha ^^
Agreed Wen!
i love this bag! iswas has really nice wallets and purses. just a bit pricey. do you have any other yesstyle stores that you recommend besides iswas?
For bags? Smoothie is OK. I really like Ashton but they sell more expensive bags. For bags I haven’t shopped many others.
I saw Ashton while surfing through yesstyle and you\’re right. Very pricey. >.
AH! totally forgot about that symbol not to use so it cut off my message but the rest of it was… “I’ll definitely check out Smoothie. I’m looking for a new wallet since my current one has a torn seam on the credit card holder. Thanks for the recommendations!”
the bag is super cute! Its looks like it goes with anything and is still subtly elegant
Thanks! Yeah I thought something similar about it :)
finding a good bag is so nice!! it makes every outfit feel nicer to me ~
Hi Jenny!
This is an odd question but would you happen to know if this bag could fit an ipad mini? I checked the dimensions on the store and they are both literally 1:1 (7.87×5.3)… Do you think it might be able to squeeze in fine? Sorry to bug you over an old post. Anyway, thanks for always sharing your great fashion and inspirations!
I’d say no (I’m not at home so I can’t test it ATM) but I can barely fit my phone and wallet. It’s the rounded shape that I think would make it unable to zip close.
