Studio Bag - Black

I have wanted to buy this bag for ages and recently took the plunge on it. It is a beautiful bag and I have already gotten a lot of compliments on it. However, there is one detail which has left me feeling a little disappointed (especially considering the price point). My issue with the bag is the adjustable strap. I am 5”5 and find that I need to put the strap at its absolute shortest length in order for it to fit me properly. Because the strap is positioned at the front of the bag with any excess fabric feeding upwards, this excess material flops about awkwardly (see photo). While WAWWA does provide you with a little rubber loop to secure the excess strap fabric with, this rubber loop only runs along the opposite length of the strap’s fabric and if you, like me, have used this all up ensuring the bag actually fits you, then it is functionally useless as it cannot fit over the area where the strap meets the canvas of the bag. I appreciate that the fashion industry has long held a bias towards tall people, but—given that the average height for a woman is 5”3 in the UK— I think its safe to assume that a lot of women buying this product will also experience this issue. This issue could have been easily fixed by either flipping the strap so that the excess fabric falls downwards or else (even better) building a pocket into area where the strap meets the canvas of the bag so that any excess strap can be tucked away. It’s a small detail, and overall I am happy with the bag and will continue to use it. But, given how much the bag costs and how much the brand places an emphasis on design in its marketing, I was hoping that details like this would have been more carefully thought out. I would have given the bag 4.5 or 5 stars if not for this issue.

It is a lovely bag but the strap was sewn to the wrong side of the bag! In all the pictures of the bag the actual wide cloth part of the bag meant to be slung on the shoulder runs down toward the logo and the front pocket. In the bag they sent me, the adjustable strap side is on the side of the logo and front pocket. I have to wear this bag backwards to use the strap properly and won't be able to properly use the front pocket sadly.

I’ve had every bag. I cycle to work. I’ve had courier bags, rucksacks, bike satchels and front fitted Brompton tweed bags. This is a perfect work tote. Water bottle. Keys. Notebook. Lunchbox. Goes over my shoulder and works perfectly on my bike.

It fits all my needs, while I don’t feel like it’s in the way. Would love a pc-pocket in the design, otherwise, great bag for my everyday use!

Its bigger than I estimated, but I love it. The outside pocket is very handy

I was expecting a quality tote really but I was truly taken aback with it's quality. It is really amazing the craftsmanship that you can feel and see within the bag, is really comfy. Is quite spacious and the inside poquets and "loops" around the strap are really wel made and quite handy. I'd really recommend this bag and tmto trust in the brand

The bag arrived two weeks ago allmost and i have used it allready a lot, and i like the size of it it has enough room for a lot of stuff, Although a few things could be different i think, maybe the buttons out and a flap on top with a zipper, a split compartment inside and a zipper to the little pouch would be a good addition to my opinion. As being above 2 Metre tall the strap could use another two or three inches more so you can also adjust it easily in a different place on the body. I am pleased that this bag ain't fast fashion and that it is made in Manchester. Keep up the good work.

Studio Bag - Black

carries a lot and looks great :)

This is the second style of bag I’ve purchased from the excellent WAWWA company - I’ve got the water resistant duffle bag too. The studio bag is fantastically roomy & convenient with its popper fasteners but has secure inner pockets too. The make is of excellent quality with soft yet sturdy fabric - It’s a softer structure but again deceptively capacious. Love it! 💚

Holds everything, great quality, very comfortable for uni student needing to carry work stuff, meal prep AND gym clothes

This is a great Bag. Comfy to wear, looks great and will take so so much… it will even take my dryrobe with ease!
Great quality and will last me a long time, best though its British Made.

meine Tochter liebt die Tasche.

No need to leave anything behind. This bag is a big and beautiful.

Nice size, comfortable stripe

Excellent material and construction. Easy to wash. Have gotten several compliments and people asking where I got it from

Excellent quality, very happy!

Just buy it, don’t think about it too much!

Absolutely love this bag. I get everything I need in it and love the thick, comfortable strap. Water bottle feature on the side is great and as always the hook to clip my keys to. The inside pocket is slightly deeper than in the previous WAWA bag I had which is good as things don't tend to jump out of it now. Also arrived earlier than expected. Thank you

Stylish, cool, comfortable, simple, and spacious. A high quality bag. Though I love that there isn't too many pockets, I do think a dedicated laptop sleeve would be solid. Looking forward to my next Wawwa purchase. I'm glad I found the ads on IG.

I was looking for a bigger bag for my everyday carry and this fit perfectly

Perfect! Fit my needs, my style and my life!

maaaan my bag came like a week ago and i literally can’t wait to take it out everyday. the material is amazing, the build quality is perfect too. and even though i’d welcome a few more internal pockets; it fits everything i need, and forces me to keep it tidy with stuff in pouches. LOVE IT!

A pretty good product.

Very sturdy

Second time I’ve purchased a studio tote from WAWWA, quality is always top notch, and the customer service team was so helpful too. Thanks again.

I thought the quality would be higher, but it’s just thin. Its a good tote. There’s no compartments just one little compartment to put keys and a small pocketbook and nothing else fits in there. Just hoping it lasts long at this point.

it’s perfect for my needs as a creative, writer and designer. I pack all my books, sketchbooks, journals ipad, water bottle, snacks and other knick-knacks on the go, to the coffeeshop, the office, and everywhere else. It wraps around my body perfectly and that front pocket is great for storing keys and my phone for easy access. Great design overall.

Its well-made, stylish, and very versatile. I got this bag so I can carry all the water bottles, all the half eaten sandwiches, all the random art projects, all the child-sized handfuls of rocks, flowers, acorns, and various detritus my daughter picks up. Great for kids and for day outings!

You can pack and carry very quickly. That said its unstructured, so I highly recommend organizing bags if you find something quickly otherwise you are going to be digging. Also because of that unstructured nature the zipper takes a minute to zip. That said you can easily fit a small watermelon or a large kickball in this Mary Poppins esque bag. Another feature is that it came to me folded up and flat which is handy if you want to travel and use it as a city-bag at your destination.

Additionally the Wawwa customer service team is incredibly helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend-worth the money-worth the wait.
