The Moshi Urbana Mini isn’t really “mini” in any aspect besides being the smaller version of the Urbana. So don’t let the name trick you into thinking this bag won’t hold everything you need. It will. There are four zippered compartments: one main, a smaller RFID shield pocket in the main compartment, and two flat pockets on the front and back. In lieu of a tablet, as I don’t regularly use one, I carried around a bunch of books for the majority of my time with the Mini thus far It can hold a 400-page paperback, and notebook along with all my usual essentials (keys, several lip glosses, wallet, phone, checkbook, etc) easily.
The Urbana Mini is undoubtedly a tech bag, but it is that in the way that people actually use tech: casually and in conjunction with everything else in life. Sure, it has the padded pockets for your tablet and phone and room for all your tech accessories, but these are in addition to other spaces useful for everyday necessities, not the entirety of the bag. You can tell that this bag isn’t just for lugging around your tablet. It’s versatile. It’s a tech bag that doesn’t favor function over style. It’s a purse with extras. It fits both professional and casual environments.
With the new Spring/Summer 2017 collection and colors, Moshi couldn’t resist getting our thoughts on the updates to their tried and true Urbana collection. So let’s talk color.
The Mini I received for review is Coral Pink, a gorgeous color for the Spring/Summer season. I’d describe it as a bit more muted than what I think of as a true coral. Maybe more of a salmon? Whatever you call it, it’s fun and dressed up with classic brown leather accents. It hits that sweet spot where it is not neutral enough to add a pop but not so bold as to make it difficult to coordinate.
The exterior isn’t just a pretty face; it is durable and functional as well. It’s weather resistant to protect your tech (and the integrity of the bag itself). The shoulder strap is skinny, which I like, and subtly padded, which I also like. It’s a nice touch since the Urbana Mini is designed to carry a heavier load than the average handbag/shoulder bag/crossbody.
If I could change one little thing about this product, it would be to change the magnetic snap that holds the end of the zipper to the main compartment.
