From crossbody bags that are perfect for quick outings, to smartphone shoulder bags that let you carry your phone with style, to waist pouches that let you move freely—there are plenty of options for bags that let you travel light. Or, if you want to look a little more sophisticated, there are chain wallets and classic mini shoulder bags.
The “Minim” minimalist pouch we developed is designed to handle all these different roles in a single bag, while pursuing a design that’s as sleek as possible. And behind the scenes, several “special parts” support its comfortable usability. In this article, we’ll introduce the various ingenious features packed into the Minim.
1. German Fidlock Magnetic Buttons That Close Like Magic
The main pocket features a magnetic button from the globally acclaimed German company Fidlock.
What makes this button so impressive is that when closing it, you simply bring the parts together from the front, and they automatically snap shut with a satisfying “click” as the magnets draw them together. However, the mechanism is designed so that it absolutely will not open unless you slide it in a “specific direction.” There’s no worry about it opening on its own while you’re walking, and it can be operated intuitively with one hand—truly an outstanding component.
2. Magnetic Buckle for Smooth Strap Attachment and Removal
The magnetic buckle used on the strap (belt) section also incorporates Fidlock’s technology. When putting on or taking off a pouch or mini shoulder bag, there’s no need to go through the trouble of pulling it over your head.You can put it on or take it off simply by snapping the buckle apart midway along the strap, allowing you to remove the bag smoothly even while wearing a jacket. It also locks securely via magnetic attraction the moment the two halves are brought close together. The strap itself won’t come undone even if you pull on both sides, but the buckle can be released by sliding it sideways.
3. A One-Handed Belt Clip That’s Great for Cyclists
Have you ever experienced the Minim bag slipping down in front of you and getting in the way while riding a bike or other vehicle? To prevent this, we’ve included a special belt clip.It can be easily opened and closed with just one hand, allowing you to quickly secure it to the edge of your clothing. This ensures the pouch stays snug against your body even during active movement, so it won’t interfere with your ride.
4. Key hook and strap that extend to your hand to prevent loss
The pouch features a convenient built-in key hook and strap. To use it, simply give the strap a quick tug—your keys will smoothly reach the keyhole without having to detach them from the pouch. When you’re done, they tuck right back inside, completely freeing you from the stress of keys going missing in your bag.
At first glance, it may seem like a simple, minimalist pouch, but it’s packed to the brim with components designed to create special features that make your daily outings easier.
If you find the movement and mechanisms of each of these parts “interesting,” be sure to check out the Minim product page to see them in action and get a full view of the design. Technology and design work together to powerfully support your hassle-free outings. Related Article
