Your favourite Uniqlo bag is back, and it just had a spring update

Cast your minds back to 2022 and no doubt, like us, you were swept up by the Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag craze. Viral on TikTok (of course), the 'It' bag became insanely popular for hitting the sweet spot between its effortless minimal style and convenience whilst having a beautifully affordable price tag. And now, it's had the ultimate spring update - gingham has entered the chat.

This isn't the first time the Uniqlo bag has had a seasonal update, with the brand branching into corduroy options for autumn/winter and a crochet version last year. But with spring basically here, it's the new gingham update that's captured our hearts. Available in black, pink, yellow and blue, the new bag is an instant dopamine-hit, creating a subtle statement that instantly transports us to sunny picnics in the park. Dreamy.

It's also bang on trend, with the coloured options tying in nicely with the pastel blue and butter yellow trends that are gaining momentum the closer we get to spring. The half-moon Uniqlo bag has gone on to inspire bags throughout the high street, but this new gingham update stands out from the crowd.

And it certainly doesn't compromise. Just like the original, despite its compact size, the bag is still surprisingly spacious. It's one of our favourite features (we're pretty sure we've seen someone fit a bottle of wine in there) - the bag can hold all your essentials and then some, without feeling too bulky. And all for under £15.

We'll take one in each colour, please.
