Size Guide

Every Arvelle Paris bag is made to order. Use this guide to understand the dimensions, capacity, and best use of each silhouette before you place your order.

All measurements are in centimetres (cm) and refer to the exterior dimensions: width × height × depth. Measurements are taken at the widest point of each dimension. A 1–2cm variation is normal across individual pieces due to the handcrafted nature of production.

How to Choose Your Size

If you are unsure between two sizes, consider how you typically carry. If you prefer to carry only the essentials and move freely, choose the smaller. If you tend to carry more — sunglasses, a notebook, a pouch — choose the larger.

For a first Arvelle piece, the 25cm structured top-handle and the Arvelle Petite are our most versatile starting points. Both transition easily from day to evening, and both are represented across our widest range of leathers and colourways.

For those whose priority is hands-free carry, the Arvelle Crossbody 19 is the natural choice.
