What they are for
Every day, in town
The Sailor Bag XL is a large city bag: a zip pocket, a key clip, a bottle sleeve and a pen holder keep in order what usually ends up at the bottom of a bag. The smaller Sailor Bag (H 25 × W 32 × D 15 cm) suits days when you only carry the essentials.
Travelling and weekends
At 40 × 30 × 20 cm, The Sailor Bag XL fits under the seat on several airlines and works as a weekend bag. Our cabin bag guide lists the permitted sizes airline by airline.
In the rain, by the water
The marine faux leather of the XL does not mind rain or sea water. The water-repellent canvas of the Sailor Bag copes with showers.
How to choose between the two sizes
The size
The Sailor Bag XL measures H 30 × W 40 × D 20 cm, with 30 cm handles, and weighs 900 g empty. The Sailor Bag measures H 25 × W 32 × D 15 cm, with 12 cm handles. To travel or carry a lot, take the XL; for a light outing, the Sailor Bag is enough.
The fabric
The XL is in marine faux leather, with no animal material, and has an easy-clean PVC lining. The Beige / Brown and Heathered Black colours pair it with a canvas. The Sailor Bag is in upcycled nautical canvas from boat covers.
The colour
Each colour is made in small quantities. If yours is sold out, leave your email on its page to be told when it returns.
Looking after your handbag
Everyday cleaning
For both sizes, a microfibre cloth and mild soap are enough, then let the bag air dry. The faux leather of the XL wipes clean with a sponge, with no polish or special product.
The lining
The lining of the XL is PVC, the material of boat winter covers: it wipes clean very easily. Empty the bag before cleaning, in particular the zip pocket and the pen holder.

Questions
Is the Sailor Bag XL cabin-friendly?
It measures 40 × 30 × 20 cm: the maximum free under-seat bag size at Ryanair, Transavia, Vueling and Volotea, and below easyJet's limit (45 × 36 × 20 cm). On Air France it travels as a cabin bag. See our cabin bag guide for details.
How much does the Sailor Bag XL weigh?
900 g empty. It closes with a YKK zip, the kind used on boats: a sturdy closure that copes with a well-filled bag.
Does the Sailor Bag XL mind the rain?
No. It is made of marine faux leather, the material of outdoor boat cushions: water does not go through it, it resists UV, salt and mildew, and it cleans with a microfibre cloth and mild soap. The Sailor Bag, in water-repellent nautical canvas, also copes with showers.
Is the Sailor Bag XL real leather?
No, it is faux leather: no animal material. It looks like leather without the upkeep. No polish, no worrying about rain: a microfibre cloth and mild soap are enough.
How do I clean the inside?
The lining is PVC, the material of boat winter covers: it is very easy to clean.
How do I care for the Sailor Bag?
With a microfibre cloth and a mild soap, then let it air dry. This applies to both sizes.
Is the Sailor Bag made from recycled material?
Both sizes are upcycled rather than recycled. The Sailor Bag is cut from acrylic canvas from the boating industry: the covers that protect sails at the quay or shade boats from the sun. The XL, from new end-of-line marine faux leather. Top-quality materials, rescued from waste.
