Shape and fit: Soft and unstructured below a firm top bar, the pleats fan out into a wide, rounded bell shape with a flat base. On both straps it rests between your shoulder blades and reaches to the middle of your back.

Product questions
What can I fit inside?
About 31 cm tall, 27 cm wide at the base (16 cm across the top bar) and 12 cm deep, it weighs about 570 g and takes a 500 ml water bottle, a zip wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses and lip balm. Inside there is a zip pocket and two open pockets, and each ruched side pocket takes a folding umbrella or a small bottle.
How does the closure work?
The two top bars part to open the bag and hold together with magnetic snaps hidden inside the top, and under them a two-way zip closes the main compartment. A zip pocket down the centre of the back panel sits against you while you wear it.
What are the carrying options?
Three ways: on your back by both adjustable shoulder straps; as a sling, by clipping both swivel hooks to the ring at the same lower corner so the two straps run together and the bag sits across your body, on the chest or on the back; or in your hand by the two metal handles held together. On Cognac the straps are tan with an orange-tan herringbone webbing.
How should I care for it?
Clean gently with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soap. Leave it to dry away from direct heat. Do not soak or machine wash.
