Design notes

Snuggly fits a 12" laptop and A4 magazines, so best if carrying these occasionally (or like the smallest footprint possible).

Being wider than deep it's easy to find what you're looking for, especially if carrying lots of small items.

Who it's perfect for

Being wider than it is deep means it's easy to find what you're looking for, especially if carrying lots of small items.

Not as good for

Due to the main zipper construction and streamlined profile bulkier items can be a little awkward to carry, especially alongside flatter items like a laptop.

If you're unsure feel free to get in touch and I can easily confirm if it will fit what you need.

Size & what fits

The external dimensions of the Widekick are 37cm wide x 28cm tall x 9cm deep.

As the interior of the bag is slightly smaller (due to seams etc) the largest item that will fit is 34cm x 26cm - so best for a 13-inch laptop (the 13-inch Macbook Air is 31cm x 22cm).

Wear as a shoulderbag?

Your Widekick is a 2-in-1 that can be worn as a shoulderbag and/or a backpack.

This makes it especially versatile as it can be configured as required.

... or as a backpack

As a backpack it is an elegant way to carry a laptop while cycling as the weight is kept balanced and centred on the body.

It is shown above with two narrower 4cm wide straps (though will also work the 5cm wide straps as shown on the shoulderbag).

The straps you receive can be clarified when you place your order.

What people are saying about their Widekick ...

I ordered my first bag (large laptop) many, many years ago when Mattt had a stall on St Kilda.

I was visiting Melbourne at the time. It was delivered to NZ where I was working at the time.

I was so impressed that when needing a backpack went straight to Matt for another great bag with style, practicality and durability.

My bag (large laptop) has a Blue Fairy Wren pattern (so Australian; one of my favourite birds) and has been in constant use for many years - local commutes, interstate and overseas meetings.

It has had NO maintenance issues and still serves me well. The design is clever and functional. I note that newer models have had some changes (e.g., the outer pocket is zipped).

Durability, style and practicality.

I can take it to work everyday and then take it out on weekends and out for dinner.

It goes with me everywhere.

I do like that you can just choose the panel and then the bag and it gets made up for you.

I totally ordered at the worst time of the year when you were on a break though still happy.

I like it even more than my old mattt bag because the zipper is tougher. The design is gorgeous and I get a lot of comments on it.

I guess I’ll be back in another five years when this one bites the dust? Yes, my old bag lasted that long with daily abuse! Maybe I should buy a couple and tuck them away somewhere. I wouldn’t mind one of the smaller bags too.

Life Guarantee

This is the distillation of my approach to design, materials and making developed over more than twenty years of sewing and selling bags.

Each and every bag is personally sewn in my studio with quality materials, components and construction techniques selected for durability, repairability and sustainability.

Quite simply I guarantee your bag is made for many many years of everyday use.

If in the unlikely event that any stitching or hardware should fail they'll be repaired free for life.

I respectfully acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri peoples of Melbourne, the traditional custodians of this beautiful land on which I am lucky enough to live, work and create.
