Any Gen Z and millennial living in Singapore would tell you how important their mobile phone is to them. With the prevalence of cashless payments, it’s easy to leave our wallets at home, but the same can’t be said for our phones.

So what do you do when you only need to bring your phone out? You can’t possibly fit it in those nano bags meant for AirPods. Enter the phone bag: A case design with a lanyard that allows one to carry the phone case as a crossbody bag has emerged as the chicest and most practical of all tech accessories.

With most labels offering a version of this style — cue Loewe’s elephant-shaped cases and Chanel’s quilted designs not unlike its chain wallets, picking the perfect one is as important as picking a designer bag.

We’ve scoured some fashionables picks you’ll want to sling on.
