Trendy. Functional. Stylish.

These three words are the best way to describe Wandrd bags. But the real question is... Does the WANDRD X1 Crossbody live up to the Wandrd aesthetic?

This is the all-new crossbody bag from Wandrd with an impressive origami-style organization in the main compartment. It's got a fairly weather-resistant exterior fabric so you could shrug off spillage/rain to some extent. Well, if you think there's nothing to worry about this crossbody, you are wrong. Its shoulder strap has a dangle stopper but, in the long run, it definitely gets loose. Not a big deal for some but it's something you should consider.

To learn more about our honest thoughts about the WANDRD X1 Crossbody, watch our video for an in-depth review!

**********

Get the WANDRD X1 Crossbody if…

✅ You want a highly weather-resistant crossbody.

✅ You are impressed with how easy it is to access the main compartment.

✅ You love its pockets and organization.

**********

DO NOT get the WANDRD X1 Crossbody if…

❌ You just realized that you want a good ol' sling instead. Below's another alternative... 👇🏼

🎒 Bellroy Venture Ready SLing 2.5L
✍🏼 This is another option for you if you realize that vertical slings/crossbody isn't for you. It's made with extremely durable materials and really comfortable to carry. No awkward fit at all!

❌ You are digging the vertical sling aesthetic but want something that's made with intention. Check below for another great option… 👇🏼

🎒 Alpaka Vertical Sling
✍🏼 This is for you if you want a vertical sling that has a lighter exterior fabric, better weather resistance, and minimalist organization. It also has various attachment points so you can carry it as a sling, crossbody, or intentionally remove it to get yourself a tech pouch.

❌ You want another vertical sling to carry your phone, wallet, and small travel essentials. This is another recommended option for you… 👇🏼

🎒 Sympl Phone Sling
✍🏼 It's another smaller vertical sling option that can only fit your phone. It's not as big as the other alternatives since it's a simple pocket reliever to fit small bits of gear.

I bought the medium a week ago and love it, but before I bought it, was looking for your review.

I like the form factor. The internal stuff is.. interesting.. i fear I'd feel like I'm carrying more bag than stuff iyswim.
I like it though and the review is, as always, brilliant.

The lid on this looks like an afterthought. I do love magnets though haha still loving the alpaka vertical sling with the added mag strap.

Yeah that origami thing messes up my use case for this form factor, vertical things like this just screams camera holster to me. The wotancraft pilot 2 or 3.5 and the greenroom136 sidekeep rdx are my conceptual ideals.

Has anyone bought this bag and tried to put a camera inside? I have a Fujifilm X100V and its a very small/compact camera, and just wanted to see if anyone has fit a small film/digital camera inside??

if i have a dog or a kid, i would connect the leash on that daisy chain

Yeah that strap... I kinda disagree that the width is good enough too: in HK or Japan or Singapore yeah sure. Elsewhere, a thicker strap is a theft detterent.

Most of their products come with black interior lining, which puts me off from buying one. I love the tech pouch exterior and design language but knowing its lining is black fabric, ouch.

We are getting closer to just carry purses. Not a fan of crossbody designs like these.
