The bag you grab when you don't want to carry a bag. It sits across the chest, the strap adjusts from a short chest fit to a long crossbody, and there are three separate compartments — a curved front zip pocket, a slim slash pocket and the main body — so your phone isn't buried under everything else. Every seam is straight or gently curved, and the zips are installed flat before assembly, which is why it works as a first bag project.
