Everyday carry
How to Choose an Everyday Shoulder Bag Size
The right everyday bag is large enough for your real essentials but comfortable when those items are inside. Exterior dimensions are only the beginning.
Make an honest carry list
Place your daily items together: phone, wallet, keys, glasses, notebook, tablet, bottle and umbrella. Measure the longest rigid item and note which pieces must stay upright. This gives you a better target than broad labels such as small or large.
Check the opening and base
A bag can be wide at its softest point but narrower at the opening or reinforced base. Compare rigid devices with the usable opening and interior. Laptop fit should always be checked against the device's exact dimensions rather than screen size alone.
Allow space for access
A bag packed to its maximum is harder to organise. Leave enough room to see pockets, close the top and remove a wallet without unloading everything. Soft bags also sit more naturally when their contents can settle.
Balance capacity and comfort
The Soft Hobo measures approximately 17.7 inches wide, 9.8 inches high and 3.9 inches deep and weighs about 1.32 pounds empty. Consider the combined weight of your essentials and whether you prefer a short handle drop or the adjustable shoulder strap.
