Why I reviewed the GRAMS28 156 City Sling

The GRAMS28 156 City Sling is designed for everyday use, combining minimalist style with organised internal space. I put it through daily carry, travel walking tours, and creative days on the street to see how it performs in real life.

Design, materials & build quality

The City Sling continues GRAMS28’s focus on premium leather and refined detailing. Its shape and structure make it easy to access frequently used items without opening up a larger bag.

The strap and balance lean towards comfort, even on longer walks, and the internal pockets keep tech and essentials nicely organised.

Real-world use

In everyday use, the 156 City Sling excels at organising essentials — phone, wallet, small camera, portable battery, and accessories — all while staying compact and sleek. It’s great for days where you want lightweight carry without sacrifice.

For travel or creative walks, the sling shape and access convenience make it easy to grab what you need without disrupting your flow.

What works well — and what to consider

What I like: thoughtful layout, premium feel, and how easy it is to live with day-to-day.

Worth noting: if you carry larger camera kits or heavier gear, a larger bag or backpack may be a better fit.
