Measurements are for the bag body, taken flat. Handle drop is measured from the top edge of the bag to the top of the loop.

Tolerance
[replace] Every measurement and fabric weight on this page is my working assumption, not your confirmed spec. Replace any figure you cannot match against your own bags.
Cut-and-sew cotton moves. Expect up to 1 cm of variation between pieces, and up to 3% shrinkage after the first wash unless you take the garment-washed option.
Your own size
Send the dimensions you need and we cut a one-off pattern. Beyond 40 x 45 cm we widen the handles so the bag stays comfortable on a shoulder.
