Features compared
All features
Bags with Zip
A zip across the mouth turns an open carry bag into a closed bag that keeps contents in and dust out.
Bags with Laminated Lining
A thin film laminated on the inside of natural-fibre bags makes them water-resistant, easier to clean and stiffer.
Bags with Bamboo Handles
Rigid bamboo or cane ring handles give a handcrafted, premium look that suits eco and gifting bags.
Bags with Rope Handles
Twisted cotton or polypropylene rope handles knotted through eyelets — soft to hold and strong under load.
Bags with Gusset
Side and base gussets give a bag depth, so it stands upright and holds boxes, food containers and bulky items.
Bags with Front Pocket
An outer pocket for phones, keys, tickets and pens — small items that get lost in the main compartment.
Bags with Bottle Holder
Side mesh or elastic pockets that hold a water bottle upright and away from books and electronics.
Bags with USB Charging Port
An external USB port wired to an inside cable, so a power bank in the bag can charge a phone on the go.
Bags with Rain Cover
A stowable waterproof cover that pulls over the whole backpack in heavy rain — essential for monsoon months.
Bags with Shoe Compartment
A separate, ventilated pocket that keeps shoes and damp kit away from clean clothes.
Bags with Trolley Sleeve
A strap or sleeve on the back panel that slides over a suitcase handle, so the bag rides on the luggage.
Bags with Wheels
Inline wheels and a pull handle so heavy bags can be rolled instead of carried.
Bags with Reflective Strips
Retro-reflective tape or print that lights up in headlights, making the wearer visible at dawn, dusk and night.
Waterproof Bags
Coated fabric, welded or taped seams and water-resistant zips that keep contents dry in heavy rain.
Bags with Insulated Lining
Foam and foil lining that keeps food and drinks hot or cold for a few hours.
Bags with Magnetic Button
A concealed magnetic snap that keeps the bag mouth closed but opens with one hand.
Bags with Laptop Compartment
A padded, separate sleeve that protects a laptop from knocks and keeps it upright in the bag.
Bags with Shoulder Strap
An adjustable strap that clips on for shoulder carry and comes off when only the handles are needed.
Foldable Bags
Bags that fold into a small built-in pouch, so they are always carried and ready to use.
Bags with Mesh Ventilation
Mesh panels or eyelets that let air through, so damp kit dries and odours do not build up.
Bags with Lockable Zips
Zip pullers with holes that line up for a small padlock or combination lock.
Bags with RFID Pocket
A lined pocket that blocks radio signals, protecting contactless cards and passports from unauthorised scanning.
Bags with Wet Pocket
A waterproof-lined pocket for wet swimwear, towels or used items, sealed away from dry contents.
Bags with Name Tag
A clear window or label patch for a name, ID card or address — so bags are easy to identify.
Bags with Chain Strap
Metal chain straps and decorative hardware that give fashion bags an evening or premium look.
Bags with Name Printing
Each bag printed, embroidered or embossed with an individual name, initials or number.
Expandable Bags
An extra zip around the body that opens to add capacity when needed.
Bags with Padded Straps
Foam-padded shoulder straps that spread weight and reduce pressure on the shoulders.
Bags with Organiser Pockets
A panel of small pockets, pen loops and key clips that keeps essentials in order.
Bags with Hidden Pocket
A concealed pocket, usually against the back panel, for passports, cash and cards.
Bags with Window
A transparent panel that shows the contents — a product, gift or saree — without opening the bag.
