GRID Expandable Tote Bag
GRID Expandable Tote Bag – The Work Bag That Keeps Up With Your Day (420 g)
Laptop in, lunch packed, gym kit squeezed in. Or maybe just a clear desk, a notebook and coffee. The Sandqvist GRID Expandable Tote Bag adapts to the shape of your day without demanding you plan around it. Spacious, expandable and light enough to forget you're carrying it at just 420 g.
Its standout feature: side zippers that expand the depth from 10 cm to 22 cm, effectively doubling the bag's internal volume when needed. Slim and structured for office carry; wide and generous when your day extends well beyond the desk. Plus, press buttons on the top webbing let you secure a jacket or extra item over the opening — a small detail that makes a real difference on busy days.
Made from 100% recycled nylon ripstop, the GRID Tote handles city weather with ease. The large main compartment fits up to a 16" laptop (sleeve recommended), and an internal zip pocket lifts out for quick access. Matte aluminium trims and YKK zippers complete a bag built to become a lasting daily staple.
What Makes the Real Difference in the City
The GRID Tote was designed around a simple conviction: one bag should handle your whole day — without looking like a hiking daypack, and without sacrificing functionality. It delivers smart modularity exactly where it's needed.
- 💻 Fits a 16" laptop – main compartment, uncompromised (sleeve recommended).
- 🔄 Depth expands 10 → 22 cm – side zippers open for significantly more volume.
- 📎 Press button top closure – secure a jacket, extra tote or bulky item over the opening.
- 👜 3 carry modes – hand-held, shoulder or crossbody.
- 🔒 Lift-out internal zip pocket – quick access without searching through the main compartment.
- ♻️ 100% recycled nylon ripstop – water-resistant and responsibly sourced.
- 🪶 420 g – generous in space, honest on the shoulder.
The adjustable and removable shoulder strap shifts it from a classic tote into a hands-free carry without changing the bag. Crossbody for the commute, hand-held for the meeting — the same bag, different mode.
Who This Bag Is For
The GRID Expandable Tote is designed for city days that don't stay predictable — for those who want a bag that transitions between professional and casual without a change of bag.
- You carry a laptop daily — and want more than just a laptop bag.
- Your load shifts through the day — gym kit, groceries, an extra layer after work.
- You value clean, understated design — technical without looking technical.
- You want one bag that replaces several — and does each job well enough.
If you need a dedicated padded laptop compartment with separate access, a purpose-built laptop bag offers more dedicated protection. But if your priority is a versatile, spacious and sustainable everyday tote that carries your laptop and adapts to everything around it, the GRID Expandable Tote is the carry you'll stop replacing.

FAQ
Yes — a 16" laptop fits in the main compartment. There is no dedicated padded sleeve, so a laptop sleeve is strongly recommended for protection against bumps. The bag's structure holds the laptop upright and secure. For everyday commuting with reasonable care, it works very well.
Two side zippers run along the depth of the bag, opening from 10 cm to 22 cm. Closed, it's slim and structured for professional settings. Open, it accommodates gym clothes, groceries, an extra pair of shoes or anything that won't fit otherwise. You can open one or both sides depending on how much extra room you need.
The press buttons are attached to the top webbing handles and allow you to secure items over the bag's opening — a folded jacket, a second tote, or anything that won't fit inside. It's a simple but genuinely useful solution for days when the bag is full and you have one more thing to carry.
The adjustable shoulder strap is designed for day loads. For moderate loads — laptop plus essentials — crossbody carry is comfortable for a commute or short periods. For heavier or extended carry, shoulder or hand-held modes distribute the load better. The strap is adjustable for a secure, personalised fit.
The recycled nylon ripstop is water-resistant and handles light rain, splashes and damp conditions well. It is not fully waterproof — for heavy downpours, a rain cover or waterproof sleeve for electronics is advisable. For a fully waterproof alternative, consider the STREAM Zipper Backpack.
Yes, particularly as a carry-on personal item. The GRID Tote expanded fits comfortably under an aircraft seat and handles a day trip or short trip alongside main luggage. Its clean aesthetic and versatile carry modes also make it easy to use at the destination. It won't replace a travel backpack for multi-day packing, but as a travel companion and personal item, it performs very well.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth for everyday dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water then air dry. Avoid tumble drying, bleach, ironing and direct heat. The water-resistant finish is maintained with regular gentle care.
