Know before you buy
Yes, the bag includes a matching, detachable strap designed for crossbody wear. The lightweight construction ensures it remains comfortable even when worn across the body for extended periods.
With dimensions of 15"L x 11.5"H, the bag can accommodate most 13-inch laptops or a tablet, though it may be a snug fit for larger 15-inch models.
The interior features one dedicated zippered pocket for your most important valuables. While the main compartment is open-style, the structured puffer material helps keep items contained.
The puffer material is chosen for its durability and lightweight feel. Because it is a cream-colored fabric, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth to maintain its appearance.
No, the gold hardware is designed to be sleek and lightweight to complement the bag's overall airy, puffer aesthetic without adding unnecessary bulk.
