Every AU bag, side by side. Sizes are height × width × depth in inches. Not sure which one you need? Start with what you’ll carry, then check the table.

Which AU bag is right for me?

For every day

The French Tote (13 × 14 × 4) is our signature daybag™, and its leather handles fit comfortably over the shoulder. For a little more room and a waxed-cotton look, try the Sailwax Medium Zip Tote (13 × 19 × 7).

For the beach and the boat

The Grande Open Tote (17 × 24 × 10) is oversized for beach days. The Zip Sprint (14 × 18 × 8) fits four beach towels with room to spare and zips shut. The 6 Pocket Market Tote has outside pockets for your water bottle, keys and phone, and a nylon bottom that wipes clean.

For work

The Sailwax Attache (13 × 18 × 3) has two outside zippered pockets and a removable web shoulder strap.

For a weekend away

The Weekender (16 × 20 × 8) is large enough to pack for a weekend and, as our catalog puts it, small enough to carry on an airplane. The Duffle and Sailwax Duffle (14 × 23 × 12) hold a ton, and the Sailwax Bogie (19 × 26 × 10) is our biggest bag. See Weekender vs. Duffle vs. Bogie for a closer look.

For toiletries

Our dopp kits (6 × 9 × 4) come in all three fabrics. The Large Toiletry (9 × 12 × 4) suits travel and the gym, and the Small Toiletry (6 × 9 × 3) slips into a carry-on or handbag. The linings wipe clean.
