FAQ

How do I pick the right backpack size?

Choosing the right backpack depends on what you carry and how often you use it.

  • Capacity and dimensions: Match liters and interior size to your daily items—laptop, books, gym gear, or snacks.
  • Laptop compatibility: If needed, compare the sleeve’s measurements to your device.
  • Comfort: Padded, adjustable straps and a supportive back panel can help distribute weight more comfortably.
  • Organization: Compartments and pockets make it easier to separate tech, keys, and water bottles.
  • Materials: Durable fabrics and coated panels can offer light moisture protection; details vary by item.

Review photos and specs on the item page, and consider an in-store try-on where available. Fit and comfort can vary by load and body shape, so preferences may differ.

How do I know a bag fits my laptop?

A quick measure-and-compare approach can help you choose with confidence.

  1. Measure your laptop: Note length, width, and thickness (include any case).
  2. Check interior dimensions: Compare your measurements to the bag’s listed interior or sleeve size on the item page.
  3. Leave clearance: About 0.5 in (1–2 cm) can make sliding in and out easier.
  4. Look for protection: Padding, a secure closure, and a stable base can reduce bumps and shifting.
  5. Consider a separate sleeve: It can add cushioning if the bag doesn’t include a padded compartment.

If you’re between sizes, try the bag in store when possible or review the return window shown on the product page. Device shapes and case styles vary, so fit can differ by model.

How do I clean my purse or backpack?

Care varies by material, so start by checking the care tag or item page.

  1. Empty and dust: Shake out crumbs; use a soft brush or small vacuum along seams.
  2. Spot test first: Try any cleaner on a hidden area to check colorfastness.
  3. Fabric/nylon: Wipe with mild soap and water, then rinse with a damp cloth.
  4. Faux leather: Use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
  5. Leather: Apply a leather-specific cleaner/conditioner as directed by the product.
  6. Suede: Gently lift marks with a suede brush; avoid water.
  7. Drying: Air-dry away from heat and sun; reshape with clean paper.

Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking unless care instructions allow. Materials and finishes differ, so results may vary.

How can I organize a tote for everyday use?

A few simple habits can keep your tote tidy without slowing you down.

  • Use an insert or pouches: Group tech, makeup, and snacks so everything has a spot.
  • Prioritize quick-grab items: Keep wallet, phone, and sanitizer in an easy-access pocket.
  • Clip your keys: A key leash or small carabiner helps prevent digging.
  • Stand items upright: Bottles and notebooks pack better vertically to save space.
  • Limit duplicates: Carry one of each essential to cut weight.
  • Weekly reset: Clear receipts and extras for a fresh start.

Layouts vary by tote, so adjust these ideas to the pockets and accessories you prefer.

Where can I find bag straps and add-on accessories?

You can explore add-ons within the Bags & Accessories section online or in store.

  • Search smart: Try terms like “replacement strap,” “crossbody strap,” “bag organizer,” or “bag charm.”
  • Filter results: Narrow by color, material, length range, hardware finish, and customer ratings.
  • Check compatibility: Measure your bag’s attachment width, note the clip style, and compare to the accessory’s specs.
  • Delivery options: Look for pickup or delivery availability on the item page.

Availability can vary by location and season. Reviewing photos, dimensions, and return details on each item page can help you choose an option that suits your bag and routine.

About Bags, Wallets & Accessories - Walmart.com

Bags and accessories help you organize daily essentials while matching your routine, outfit, and destination. You can compare bag types, materials, capacity, and design details to choose pieces that fit real life.

How to choose bags and accessories

You’ll want to start with bag type because shape changes how you carry and access your items. Your options may include handbags, backpacks, totes, crossbody bags, and duffel bags for different routines.

If you commute, you may prefer a tote or structured handbag that keeps papers and small items easy to reach. If you’re moving through airports or campuses, you may prefer backpacks or travel-ready duffels.

Your daily carry also shapes the size you need. You may want mini or small styles for light essentials, while larger options fit laptops, shoes, or extra layers.

  • You can use handbags for polished workdays, dinners, and formal occasions.
  • You can choose backpacks for school, commuting, and hands-free carrying.
  • You can rely on totes for roomy everyday storage and quick access.
  • You can pick crossbody bags when you want lighter carry and easy movement.
  • You can pack duffel bags for travel, gym trips, and weekend plans.

Choosing handbags and accessories by material

You should compare materials closely because they affect weight, structure, and everyday wear. Your leather and faux leather options usually feel more structured, while canvas, nylon, and polyester often feel lighter.

If you want a polished look, you may lean toward leather or faux leather for cleaner lines. If you want lower carry weight, you may prefer nylon or polyester for day-to-day use.

Canvas can give you a casual look with a sturdy feel that works for everyday errands. You’ll often notice nylon travel bags feel lighter in hand and easier to pack.

Your material choice also affects how a bag moves with your routine. You may want softer materials for casual carry, while structured materials can support a more formal outfit.

Choosing travel bags and backpacks by comfort

You should check strap design before anything feels overloaded during long days. Your adjustable straps help you fine-tune fit, while padded areas can feel more comfortable on shoulders.

If you’re comparing backpacks, you may want ergonomic shoulder straps that spread weight more evenly. You’ll usually notice better weight distribution when straps sit smoothly across your shoulders and upper back.

Your travel bags should also match how long you’ll carry them. If you’re walking through terminals or campuses, you may want lighter materials and balanced handles.

For school or work, you may prefer compartments that separate chargers, notebooks, and water bottles. You’ll spend less time digging when your pockets and sections match your routine.

What to look for in size, pockets, and security

You should match capacity to what you actually carry each day. Your medium and large options often suit planners, tablets, and extra accessories without feeling too bulky.

If you only carry a phone, wallet, and keys, you may prefer a mini or small silhouette. If you pack for long days, you may need extra large capacity and multiple sections.

Your organization features matter because compartments keep essentials easier to find. You may want zip pockets for smaller items, slip pockets for quick access, and wider interiors for bulkier pieces.

You can also compare security details when you carry cards, travel documents, or tech accessories. Your choices may include RFID blocking sections or anti-theft zippers that add simple, everyday peace of mind.

Matching style and occasion to your routine

You can narrow your choice faster by matching design to where you’ll use it most. Your classic, modern, boho, minimalist, and sporty styles each create a different everyday look.

If you dress for the office, you may prefer classic or minimalist shapes with clean hardware. If you want casual flexibility, you may reach for canvas totes, crossbody bags, or sporty backpacks.

Your formal occasions may call for smaller handbags and accessories with a sleeker profile. Your casual weekends may work better with roomier silhouettes that hold sunglasses, wallets, and daily extras.

For travel, you may want coordinated fashion accessories that work across outfits and packing needs. You’ll get more use from pieces that shift easily from transit to dinner or sightseeing.

How bags and accessories fit real-life use

You may need one setup for school mornings and another for short trips or events. Your backpacks can handle books and devices, while your crossbody or handbag suits lighter outings.

If you travel often, you may want duffel bags with roomy interiors and easy-grab pockets. You’ll appreciate designs that help separate shoes, chargers, and personal items during busy itineraries.

Your workday may call for structured totes, polished handbags, and compact fashion accessories that keep essentials orderly. Your casual routine may lean toward lightweight materials and hands-free shapes.

When you compare bag type, material, size, and style together, you make a clearer choice. You’ll end up with bags and accessories that carry comfortably and keep your essentials organized.
