Sandqvist · GRID Expandable Tote Bag

GRID Expandable Tote: flat at the office, expanded in the evening for the shopping.

The GRID Expandable Tote Bag is a 29-litre Sandqvist tote weighing 420 g, in water-resistant recycled ripstop nylon. In the morning it's 10 cm deep, with your laptop and notebook inside. In the evening, you open the two side zips and it grows to 22 cm, enough for the food shop or your gym kit. Carry it by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody.

Flat in the morning, opened right out in the evening.

Expandable

Two zips on the sides: 10 cm deep, or 22.

Closed, the side zips keep the tote flat under your arm. Open, they take the depth from 10 to 22 cm, enough for the food shop or your gym kit.

Laptop

A 16-inch in the main compartment, in its sleeve.

The tote has no laptop compartment: the 16-inch slides into the main compartment, ideally in a sleeve. The zipped inner pocket pulls out of the bag, so you can grab your keys without rummaging.

In the main compartment, no laptop pocket: a sleeve is recommended.

In the rain

Light rain in town: it runs straight off the ripstop.

Light rain

Water-resistant fabric

Recycled polyester or nylon (ICON, GRID): light rain and road spray run off it. In steady rain, water eventually gets through.

This bag

Heavy shower

Rain cover

A waterproof cover goes over the whole pack. The Sandqvist one, in recycled ripstop nylon with a reflective strip, packs into its own pocket; it's sold separately.

Proper rain

Waterproof fabric

PU-coated recycled polyester and YKK Aquaguard waterproof zips (STREAM): the fabric keeps your things dry in the rain.

The tote is unlined: in steady rain, slip the laptop into a sleeve.

Sandqvist

Bags for the city and for the forest, designed in Stockholm since 2004.

Since 2004

Three childhood friends, Anton, Daniel and Sebastian, founded Sandqvist in Stockholm: they split their time between the city and the forest and couldn't find a bag made for both.

Carried before it's sold

Every prototype is carried by bike around Stockholm, on trains and planes and along forest paths before it makes the collection.

2-year guarantee

Sandqvist guarantees its bags for two years against manufacturing defects: zips, buckles, seams. For a bag bought from Eiken, the claim goes through us.

Eiken's take

Why we chose it
420 g for 29 litres, and a depth that goes from 10 to 22 cm: one bag for the laptop in the morning and the shopping in the evening.
Worth knowing
No laptop compartment and no lining: the 16-inch travels in the main compartment, so bring a sleeve.
Who it's for
Anyone who'd rather carry a tote than a backpack, and whose day doesn't always fit into 10 cm.

Baptiste, Eiken

Questions

What are the dimensions and weight of the GRID Expandable Tote Bag?

50 × 48 × 10 cm (height, width, depth), 22 cm deep with the zips open, and 420 g empty, for 29 litres.

Is the GRID Tote waterproof?

No, it's water-resistant: the fabric copes with light rain and everyday splashes. In steady rain, water eventually gets through; a pouch for anything that mustn't get wet is all you need.

Does the GRID Tote fit under the seat on a plane?

No: at 50 × 48 cm, it's bigger than the free under-seat bag (40 × 30 × 20 cm on Ryanair, 45 × 36 × 20 cm on easyJet). As a cabin bag, its 48 cm width is also over Ryanair's 40 cm and Air France's 35 cm. Size limits checked in October 2026: check with your airline.

GRID Tote or GRID Expandable Crossbody?

The Crossbody, 28 cm tall and 9 litres (13 with the zips open), expands in width and is mostly worn crossbody. The Tote, 50 cm tall and 29 litres, takes a 16-inch laptop and can also be carried by hand.
