Our Bags collection is built for travel and everyday carry that is not a backpack or a handbag. The three shapes people ask about most are holdalls, messengers, and laptop bags. Here is how those styles show up in our catalogue.
Holdalls
Holdalls are soft-sided duffels with a wide main compartment. They suit weekends, gym kits, and light trips when you want one open space rather than a rigid suitcase.
- Fantana Shoreditch Holdall: 54 × 28 × 22 cm, 0.9 kg, with a spacious main compartment and external pockets.
- Peter James Marloes Holdall: 45 × 33 × 20 cm in pebbled polyurethane (PU) faux leather, a more structured weekend shape.
If your trip needs wheels and a hard shell, switch to cabin luggage instead. Holdalls stay useful when you want soft volume and simple packing.
Messenger bags
Messengers sit across the body and stay compact. They work for city days when you need phone, wallet, documents, and a small kit close to hand.
- Peter James Ennismore Messenger: 21 × 23 × 3 cm in textured PU, with a vertical square silhouette designed for crossbody or shoulder wear.
- Fantana Shoreditch Shoulder Bag: wider opening (about 30–50 × 20 × 38 cm with expansion), useful when you need more visibility into the main compartment.
Laptop bags
Laptop bags are for work days and short business trips. Look for a structured shell, a clear carry handle, and a strap you can remove when needed.
- Eagle Canary Laptop Bag: 43 × 31 × 15 cm, 0.9 kg, PU leather-look finish, structured top handle, removable shoulder strap, and a luggage sleeve for stacking on a wheeled case.
- The coffee brown variant, [Eagle Canary Laptop Bag · Coffee Brown](/products/eagle-canary-laptop-bag-coffee-brown), shares the same 43 × 31 × 15 cm footprint.
How to decide quickly
Ask what the bag must do on a normal day, not on an ideal day.
- If you pack clothes for two or three nights and want one soft bag, choose a holdall. Shoreditch at 54 × 28 × 22 cm gives soft volume. Marloes at 45 × 33 × 20 cm gives a more polished structure in pebbled PU.
- If you move through the city and want the bag out of your hands, choose a messenger or shoulder bag. Start with the compact Ennismore Messenger, or step up to Shoreditch Shoulder Bag when you need a wider opening.
- If a laptop is always in the mix, choose the Canary laptop bag and use the luggage sleeve when you also travel with a wheeled case from [Luggage](/collections/luggage).
Bags in this collection are mostly PU leather-look or soft fabric constructions. Weights on the pages above sit between about 0.5 kg and 0.9 kg, so the difference is more about shape than mass. For handbags with fashion silhouettes, switch to Handbags. For two-strap daypacks, switch to Backpacks.
