BABOON to the MOON

This is one of those "inescapable instagram ads" brands so imagine my annoyance that I caved and checked them out and it turns out they have crafted a perfect sling bag. The Crescent Crossbody seems very complicated with a lot of pockets (two of which are WATER BOTTLE POCKETS! in a SLING!!) but it's genius. The shoulder strap is adjustable, has attachment points for a carabiner, and has not pilled any of my clothes. The water bottle pockets cinch down when not in use, the mesh slip pocket is great for transit cards or other easy-access items, the main compartment fits a generous amount of things and has zippered storage AND a decent-length key leash. Obsessed with it — originally bought it in a lavender colorway and bought a black one when it was back in stock. Deeply, deeply regret not buying a "soph pink" colorway which seems to have been a limited run. Four stars, however, for two reasons. The lavender sling came with a few loose threads that make me nervous to use those particular pockets (back slip pockets), but that was not the case with the black sling, so it might be a quality control issue. Also, I originally also bought one of their original small sling bags and while it's also very functional and I like it well enough, the product pictures were misleading about having a detachable strap which was one of the main reasons I purchased it!
