What size laptop fits inside, and how is it protected?

It accommodates larger laptops up to 17 inches, from a 14-inch MacBook Air up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro or a 17-inch workstation. The padded compartment keeps your tech separated from the rest of your items to prevent scratching and impact damage.

What material is it made of, and is it water-repellent?

It is made from premium vegan cactus leather, a plant-based material that offers a sleek look and is highly durable. It is naturally water-repellent and easy to wipe clean, which helps with sudden rain showers or coffee spills on the exterior.

Does this bag comply with airline carry-on size limits?

With dimensions of 42.0 × 31.0 × 13.0 cm, it is slightly larger than Ryanair’s 40 × 30 × 20 cm personal bag allowance, so it won’t fit that smaller personal-item size. It does fall within the larger 55 × 40 × 20 cm cabin bag dimensions Ryanair allows when the applicable Priority/allowance is purchased. It also fits within Lufthansa’s 55 × 40 × 23 cm cabin bag and Eurowings’ 55 × 40 × 23 cm large hand baggage.

How much can I realistically pack inside this bag?

It holds between 12 and 15 liters, giving you flexible space for work and leisure. You can pack a 17-inch laptop, a slim A4 document folder, an over-ear headphone case, a water bottle, and a light jacket for the evening. This makes it ideal for flexible office days and everyday city life.

What dedicated compartments and pockets does it have?

The bag has specific pockets to organize your gear: • A dedicated padded laptop compartment fitting devices up to 17 inches. • A quick-access front zipper pocket, useful for keys, transit cards, or your phone on the go. • Internal mesh pockets designed to keep cables, chargers, and small gear neatly organized and separated. With dedicated storage for everything from work essentials to gym gear and everyday items, the bag easily adapts to whatever your day has in store.

Is the back panel padded or ventilated for active commuting?

It has high-density foam padding on the back panel. This padding helps the bag maintain its structure and distributes weight evenly across your shoulders, so long walks across the city remain comfortable even when carrying a heavy laptop.

Perfect size.
Practical and sober. It has the perfect space to carry the most important everyday things. They fit everything from my laptop (13”) to a pair of sneakers without bulging or losing their lines.
