What Actually Fits in an ARRAY Pocket Tote?
What Actually Fits in an ARRAY Pocket Tote?
One of the questions we get asked all the time is:
“But what actually fits in it?”
Fair question.
Because when you're buying a bag online, looking at a few photos can only tell you so much. You want to know if your water bottle will fit. Whether your laptop will go in. If there's room for the kids' stuff. And whether you're going to end up playing a daily game of Tetris every time you leave the house.
So, let's talk about it.
The short answer: more than you think.
Every ARRAY Pocket Tote is designed around one very simple idea:
You should be able to carry your everyday stuff without everything becoming one giant pile.
That's where the six internal pockets come in.
Instead of having one big space where your keys disappear forever, you've got dedicated pockets for the smaller things you reach for all day.
The amount you can fit depends on which size you choose, but here's a rough idea of what each one is best at carrying.
EVERYDAY
Our bestselling size for a reason.
The Everyday Pocket Tote is designed for, well... everyday life.
You can comfortably fit things like:
- A laptop or tablet
- Water bottle
- Lunch
- Wallet
- Phone
- Keys
- Sunglasses
- Headphones
- Notebook
- Kids' essentials
- Snacks
- A light jumper
It's the kind of bag you can throw everything you need for the day into without feeling like you've packed for a three-week expedition.
If you tend to leave the house with a bit of everything, Everyday is probably your size.
LARGE
Large is for the people who don't travel light.
Think:
- Laptop
- Multiple water bottles
- Lunch
- Towel
- Jacket
- Spare clothes
- Kids' stuff
- Books
- Beach essentials
- Gym gear
- Snacks
- All the random extras that somehow become your responsibility
It's the size for bigger days, bigger loads and anyone whose bag tends to become the unofficial family storage facility.
If you regularly think “I'll just throw it in my bag”, Large is probably for you.
MIDI
Midi sits nicely in the middle.
It's a little more compact than Everyday but still gives you enough room for the things you actually need throughout the day.
Think:
- Water bottle
- Wallet
- Phone
- Keys
- Sunglasses
- Small notebook
- Snacks
- Tablet
- Everyday essentials
It's a great option if you want something that feels lighter and more compact without going all the way down to Mini.
Basically: not too big, not too small. Just right.
MINI
Mini is for the essentials.
It's compact, but because it's still an ARRAY, you get the same six-pocket approach to organisation.
Think:
- Phone
- Wallet
- Keys
- Sunglasses
- Small water bottle
- Snacks
- Lip balm
- Headphones
- Other small everyday essentials
It's perfect when you don't need to carry half your life with you, but you still want everything to have its place.
Small bag. Serious pocket game.
PETITE
Petite is for the really light packers.
It's the one for your absolute essentials:
- Phone
- Wallet
- Keys
- Sunglasses
- Lip balm
- Small personal essentials
It's compact, easy to carry and perfect for those days when you're thinking, “I really don't need to bring much.”
And then there's the pocket situation...
The size of the tote determines how much you can carry, but the six internal pockets are what make the whole thing work.
Because fitting everything in your bag is one thing.
Actually being able to find it is another.
The pockets are designed to keep the little things separate and easy to reach — your phone isn't hiding underneath your water bottle, your keys aren't buried beneath a jumper, and your lip balm doesn't mysteriously disappear into the void.
It's not about carrying more.
It's about carrying what you need, and knowing where it is.
Still wondering which size is right for you?
If you're deciding between sizes, think about what you normally carry on a typical day.
If you're carrying a laptop, lunch, water bottle and plenty of extras, you'll probably want Everyday or Large.
If you're after something a little more compact but still practical, Midi is your middle ground.
If you mainly need your everyday essentials, Mini or Petite might be all you need.
And if you're still stuck, don't worry — we've got a size for pretty much every level of organised chaos.
Because the goal was never to carry everything.
It's to carry your things, keep them organised, and actually be able to find them when you need them.
