How to measure your current bag?
If you already have a bag that fits you perfectly, measure it to find the equivalent size at MARAZ Origins:
- Width (W): Measure the base of the bag from one side to the other, at its widest part
- Height (H): Measure from the bottom of the bag to the top, without including handles
- Depth (D): Measure the thickness of the bag from front to back
- Note: All our dimensions are measured on an empty bag laid flat
Tips for choosing the right size
For daily use (city, work):
Choose size M or L. These formats allow you to carry your essentials (phone, wallet, keys) as well as your tablet or laptop, makeup pouch, book or umbrella. Size M is ideal if you travel light, L if you need extra space.
For evenings and events:
A medium pouch (24 x 14 cm / 9.4" x 5.5") is perfect. It contains the essentials (phone, cards, lipstick, keys) while remaining elegant and discreet. For weddings or galas, a small pouch is enough if you only take the bare minimum.
For office and meetings:
Prefer size L or XL to carry your laptop, files, diary and all your professional documents. Our office bags have interior compartments for better organization.
For travel and weekends:
Size XL is your best ally. You can slip in a change of outfit, your cosmetics, your computer, and all your travel essentials. Some of our XL models have a trolley pocket to attach to your suitcase.
For shopping and leisure outings:
Size S or M is ideal. Spacious enough for your personal belongings and small purchases, without being bulky. Models with adjustable shoulder strap offer optimal comfort for long days.
Care and durability
So that your MARAZ bag retains its beauty and shape over time:
- Avoid overloading your bag beyond its recommended capacity to preserve its structure and seams
- Leather may stretch slightly with use, this is normal and part of the natural patina
- Store your bag filled with tissue paper to maintain its shape when not in use
- Protect it from excessive humidity, direct heat and prolonged sun exposure
- Clean it regularly with a soft cloth and use a quality leather care product every 2-3 months
- Each MARAZ Origins bag is a unique artisanal piece; slight size variations (±1-2 cm / 0.4-0.8") may exist
