Size guide
Every satchel format with its outer size in centimetres and what fits inside, plus strap lengths and case sizes.
Every VOSKELI piece is measured on the outside, in centimetres: width × height × depth. For satchels we also give the largest laptop or tablet that fits inside. Measurements can vary by up to 1 cm, and laptop sizes vary between brands, so please compare your own device with the numbers below.
