Vertical or horizontal mini shoulder bags: compare U and V by your belongings' shape
The clean horizontal line of U, or the pleasing upright shape of V? In a small shoulder bag, shape changes both the look and the way you reach for things.
Arrange your wallet and phone vertically and horizontally on a table. Use the shapes of your everyday belongings to compare the opening and the space inside.
Compare the listed specifications of horizontal U and vertical V
U is presented as a horizontal shape approximately 20 × 5 × 15 cm; V as a vertical shape approximately 18 × 5 × 21 cm. Both are external measurements, not a guarantee that a wallet of matching length fits.
U has a front pocket and an internal slip pocket; V has multiple exterior and interior pockets. Do you prefer dividing small items or gathering them in the main compartment? Picture your usual routine to find the shape you like.

Item orientation and access order
Measure your wallet and phone with their cases, then arrange them vertically and horizontally on a table. Stacking thick items can make access difficult in a shallow bag, so do not choose by length alone.
To use back or flap storage, check each opening and usable measurements. Even when photos show small belongings, evaluate using the size of your own items.
