Most crossbody bags assume everyone's right-handed, leaving left-hand-dominant people fumbling with awkward access angles. The Metro Crossbody Left Shoulder fixes that oversight. Specifically designed for left-shoulder carry, this compact sling puts your essentials exactly where your dominant hand naturally reaches. The main compartment swallows a water bottle, snacks, and a light jacket, whilst external pockets keep your phone, wallet, and keys instantly accessible. Weather-resistant fabrics handle British drizzle without complaint, and the adjustable strap lets you dial in the perfect carry height whether you're walking city streets or hiking coastal paths. Quick-release buckles mean you can swing the pack around for instant access without removing it, and the streamlined profile disappears under a jacket when you need a lower profile. Finally, a crossbody bag that works with your natural movement instead of against it.

Travelling can be one of life’s great stresses. Hustling through a packed airport, sprinting across a train station, darting from underground to overground all to make that tight connection. It really can be a hair-raising endeavour, which is inevitably punctuated by a beautiful moment of bliss the moment your butt hits that seat. Unless you miss that tight connection, at least. And the worst part? Much of it is outside of your control, with the only things you can influence being the kit you carry and how you carry it — both of which can make or break your journey. This is where Alpaka comes in: Thanks to their range of purpose-built packs, pouches and accessories, they help you find calm amongst the chaos; all to help you better navigate the unpredictability of getting from A to B. The fact that they look beautiful while doing so is just a bonus.
The build quality really stands out. The materials feel premium and durable, with water-resistant fabric and high-quality zippers that give me confidence this bag will last for years.
