Spacious carrying capacity – With a 38 x 42 cm body and 65 cm handles
The interior measures 38 x 42 cm (around 15 x 16 inches) while handles extend 65 cm (about 26 inches), allowing shoulder or hand carry. The larger footprint suits bulkier items without folding or overstuffing.
Large groceries, craft kits, books or a laptop fit comfortably, making the bags practical for shopping, events and everyday use.
Strong load handling – Thanks to reinforced cross and square box stitched handles
Handles are double reinforced with cross and square box stitching and the bag body uses a super-imposed lock stitch rather than a simple interlock stitch. That stitching method reduces exposed threads and points of weakness.
Handles tolerate regular use and transport, supporting loads up to the stated 15 kg, which suits giveaways and repeated carrying.
