GRID Expandable Crossbody Bag
GRID Expandable Crossbody Bag – The Versatile Urban Carry for Every Day (340 g)
Morning coffee run, commute, afternoon meetings — and maybe a last-minute detour on the way home. The Sandqvist GRID Expandable Crossbody Bag is built for that rhythm: lightweight, adaptable and clean, without ever looking like it's trying too hard. At 340 g and a minimal footprint, it disappears on your body and stays out of your way.
Its defining feature: a main compartment that expands from 9L to 13L via side zippers. Closed down for a trim crossbody silhouette on lighter days; opened up when you need the extra room — a layer, a lunch, an extra pair of shoes. One bag, two volumes, no compromise on the carry.
Crafted from 100% recycled nylon ripstop with a crisp hand feel and water-resistant finish, the GRID Crossbody handles city weather without fuss. Matte aluminium trims and YKK zippers bring a restrained premium quality that holds up over years of daily use.
What Makes the Real Difference in the City
The GRID Crossbody isn't a bag for a single scenario. It's designed to switch seamlessly between modes — trim and crossbody for fast city movement, expanded and shoulder-carry when your day demands more.
- 🔄 Expandable 9 → 13L – side zippers open up extra width without changing the bag's footprint.
- 👜 3 carry modes – crossbody, shoulder or hand-held by the top handles.
- 🔒 Internal zip pocket – secure access to essentials without digging.
- ♻️ 100% recycled nylon ripstop – lightweight, durable and responsibly made.
- 🪶 340 g – barely noticeable on the body, all day long.
- ✨ Matte aluminium trims + YKK zippers – premium hardware built to last.
The adjustable and removable shoulder strap gives you full control over how you wear it — tightened close to the body for security in a crowd, dropped long for a relaxed shoulder carry, or detached entirely to use the top handles as a clutch.
Who This Bag Is For
The GRID Expandable Crossbody is built for urban life that moves at pace — for those who want a reliable everyday carry that stays minimal without sacrificing function.
- You move around a lot in the city — and want your hands free without bulk.
- Your daily load varies — some days just a phone and keys, other days quite a bit more.
- You care about how things look — clean lines, no excessive branding, restrained design.
- Sustainability matters to you — recycled materials from a brand with real credentials.
If you're looking for a large-format tote or a bag with dedicated laptop protection, the GRID Expandable Tote or a dedicated backpack may serve you better. But for a smart, compact everyday crossbody that never feels underpowered, the GRID Expandable Crossbody is the carry you'll reach for every morning.

FAQ
The main compartment has side zippers that increase the bag's width from 38 cm to 50 cm, growing capacity from 9L to 13L. In practice: compact and trim for a lighter day, noticeably more spacious when you need to add a jacket, extra layer or shopping. You decide at the zip, not at the shop.
The bag can accommodate a small tablet or e-reader comfortably in the main compartment. It is not designed for laptop carry — the GRID Expandable Tote is better suited for that. For a crossbody format, the depth and volume are optimised for daily essentials rather than large electronics.
The GRID Crossbody is water-resistant — the recycled nylon ripstop fabric repels light rain and splashes effectively. It is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, keep critical items in a waterproof pouch inside. For a fully waterproof option, see the STREAM Sling Bag.
Crossbody is the primary mode — hands-free and secure in movement. Shoulder carry works well for shorter distances. Hand-held by the top handles is useful when entering a meeting or restaurant and you want to hold rather than wear the bag. The shoulder strap attaches and detaches easily, so switching between modes takes seconds.
Yes, for most urban days. At 9L: phone, wallet, keys, small water bottle, headphones, sunglasses and a light layer fit comfortably. At 13L: add a lunch box, a second layer or extras for after work. If you regularly carry a laptop or gym kit, the GRID Expandable Tote serves better. For a clean, efficient day carry, 9–13L hits the sweet spot.
The trims are the metal hardware elements — D-rings, buckles and attachment points. Matte aluminium is lighter than brass or steel, resists corrosion, and gives the bag a refined, low-key finish. Combined with YKK zippers, they make a noticeable difference in longevity compared to the plastic hardware found on budget alternatives.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth for surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying, bleach and ironing. The water-resistant finish remains effective with regular gentle care.
