Q: Will this bag fit a laptop and work documents? A: The Sac à Dépêches 38 is a business briefcase suitable for documents and everyday work essentials. Laptop fit has not been confirmed for this particular bag. Check your device’s full dimensions, including any protective sleeve, and ask for internal compartment measurements before purchasing, as the external measurements do not guarantee usable space.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This briefcase is designed to be carried by hand using its top handle. No shoulder strap is listed in the product information, so do not assume one is included.
