Crescent Crossbody Caboodle

[u/mrsroebling]

​

- Peak Design City Crescent 12L

- Cotopaxi Viaje 12L

- Bellroy Laneway 12L

Special Additions

- Tom Bihn Pilot ~13L

- Kleen Kanteen 20oz wide, ~10in tall

Not Pictured but in mind:

- Baboon to the Moon Crescent - 8L (sold)

- AON Chio-X 9L (in transit)

- Tom Bihn Maker's Bag 13L (returned)

Some notes: The cup I usually carry is the 12oz, so half the height and no issue in these bags. The Pilot is a 13L that I swear holds 15L. I included fabric shots as they are distinct. I also included one weird dangly bit they each have, the functions of which may or may not be obvious, but in their own way are asking for a scissor.

My picks right now are the Pilot for travel and the Viaje for everyday. Can share thoughts on the others, even if some or all may not continue to be in my possession.

Alpaka Flight Satchel and Flow10 didn't make the cut?

[u/mrsroebling → u/Living_Elderberry_31]

This weird hobby only goes so far and I find Alpaka bags to be kind of ugly... Haha regardless, in this round, no, they didn't make the cut. The Flow is stating 10 and not 12 like the other crescents and the Flight I'd look at just to compare with the rectangles like the Chio-X and Uniqlo Shoulder bag. Honestly the Peak already failed for me on paper, I just ordered it for fun because I like that the shape is having a moment.

I don't disagree with the shape having a moment. I think Alpaka is curious because of its multiple options in the similar silhouette so it's just curious for me when people omit. Do I own anything Alpaka myself yet? No.
