Product dimensions are presented as width × height × depth when available. Handle drop and strap drop are separate measurements and determine where the piece may sit when carried.

Width
The horizontal measurement across the main body of the bag.
Height
The vertical measurement from the base to the top of the main body, excluding handles unless stated otherwise.
Depth
The measurement from front to back at the base or widest structured point.
Handle or strap drop
The vertical distance between the top of the bag and the inside centre of the handle or strap.

Carry position

Check where the bag will sit

Start with how you plan to carry the bag: by hand, on the shoulder or across the body.

  • Close to the body

    Use strap drop and depth to judge how closely the bag may sit.

  • Carried by hand

    Check handle shape, overall width and the weight of what you usually carry.

  • What you carry

    Exterior dimensions show scale, not usable capacity. If a phone, tablet or laptop must fit, include its dimensions when asking a private advisor.

At-home comparison

Check the scale at home

A tape measure can give you a clearer sense of scale than the product photo alone.

  1. 01

    Mark the listed width and height on paper. If you have a similar bag, place it beside the outline for comparison.

  2. 02

    Hold a ruler or tape measure out from your side to picture the listed depth.

Private size advice

Ask about a specific bag

Send the style, the listed dimensions and how you plan to carry it. If a particular item must fit, include its dimensions too.
