Compare a book with a cotton tote.
A size on a listing can be hard to picture. Draw your book or notebook beside the nominal 38 × 42 cm bag body used for our cotton totes, then compare the width and height.
This is a flat-outline comparison, not a fit check. It does not calculate usable internal dimensions, seams, fabric movement, the opening, object thickness, multiple items or carrying clearance. A smaller outline does not prove that the real object fits inside.
Your object's two dimensions
Measure the closed book or notebook across its cover and from top to bottom, including any case. Enter those measurements; the diagram does not use a device's screen size.
Try a flat paper example first. Paper has negligible thickness; a closed book with the same cover size is a different object.
Enter width and height, or try a paper example. No object outline is shown yet.

The two outlines
Schematic, not actual size on your screen. Both outlines share a bottom reference line for comparison; this is not an insertion position.
Three checks before choosing a tote for books
- Check the physical item. Measure a closed book, including its cover or protective case. A diagonal screen measurement does not describe a device's outer width and height.
- Think beyond the cover. Spine thickness, several books, an organiser or a lunch container change the shape inside a soft bag. Compare with a similar bag you already use when possible. This diagram supplies no clearance allowance or load limit.
- Check the exact tote listing. Do not apply this body size to our other bag styles. Recheck current dimensions, contents, delivery and return terms before ordering.
