Dumpling bag' named summer's hottest item
It's not hard to miss that small crossbody bag that many are carrying these days. It's noticeably chic yet utilitarian.
It comes in different colors, such as black, green, pink and off-white. It can be a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag that comes with a water-repellent finish. But the ultimate deal are its inside pockets and its price that retails at P790.
Officially, it's called Round Mini Shoulder Bag, but for many fans of Japanese retail company Uniqlo, this season's most popular bag is simply referred to as the "Dumpling Bag." It's understandably called as such because of its uncanny resemblance to the crescent shaped dumpling.
It may look small, but it can carry smartphones, wallets, keys, alcohol, wipes, blush-on, lipsticks, small envelops, sunglasses and even a three-fold umbrella! It does not look like it, but basically all you need in a day can be carried by such as small bag. Its adjustable strap can convert the bag into a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag, depending on how you want to carry it around, making it a two-in-one stylish bag.
With all these plus points, it's no wonder that the Dumpling Bag tops the Hottest Product for the first quarter by the Lyst Index.
"Uniqlo’s shoulder bag is the hottest product of the quarter. Retailing at under $20, it’s the cheapest product to ever be featured in The Lyst Index.
