Official PASMAN catalogue

PASMAN bags for the day you actually have

You leave the house with a laptop, a lunch and a water bottle, and you would rather not carry three bags to do it. Every tote on this site has a padded wall down the back for the laptop and somewhere lined and leakproof for the lunch, so the two never meet.

01 What is the same in every bag

Three walls, and everything else is pockets

PASMAN bags are built around one decision: what touches what. the PASMAN carry line keeps the laptop, the lunch and the loose things in separate rooms.

A wall for the laptop, not a pocket

The sleeve sits against the back panel, padded on both faces, so the screen leans on your spine rather than on a set of keys. 7 of our bags take a 15.6-inch machine and one takes a 17.3.

The lunch travels in its own room

A lined, welded compartment across the base, sized around a glass container rather than a sandwich. It is the reason a leak stays a wet cloth instead of a dead keyboard.

Pockets where your hand already goes

An open slot at standing height for a badge and a phone, an elastic side pocket that takes a 40 oz tumbler, and a zipped wall pocket behind the laptop where keys cannot reach the screen.

04 The ones people come back for

Six PASMAN bags, one from each shelf

Ranked inside each shelf by the size of its ratings pool, not by what we would like you to buy.

05 Before you pick a size

Three measurements decide this

Take them once and the rest of the page gets easier to read.

Your laptop, with its case on

A 15.6-inch machine in a padded sleeve is closer to 16 inches wide. Measure the case, not the screen, and compare it with the sleeve figure on the card.

The container your lunch actually lives in

A glass container with a clipped lid stands about three inches tall. Two of them stacked need six, which is what the base compartment on our lunch totes gives you.

The boot of your car, or the lift

A folded cart is flat and about four inches thick. Standing, the medium is around 22 inches tall and the large around 26, which is the difference between one hand on the stairs and two.

07 Pages for the way people ask

PASMAN bags by the job they are bought for

PASMAN teacher tote bags

A teacher's bag gets set down on the floor twenty times a day and picked up by one handle. That is why these three have a stiffened base, an outside pocket you can reach without looking, and a laptop wall that keeps a stack of exercise books off the screen.

PASMAN laptop bags for women

A laptop pocket in the middle of a bag puts the screen against your keys. In all four of these the sleeve is against the back wall, padded on both faces, so the machine leans on your spine and the rest of the bag loads around it.

PASMAN nurse bags

A shift bag gets packed at six in the morning and opened in a staff room with one hand. These four keep the lunch in a lined tray of its own, put the badge pocket at standing height, and wipe clean at the end of it.

Open the page →

PASMAN lunch bags with a laptop compartment

Carrying a work bag and a lunch bag means two straps on one shoulder, and the second one always ends up on the floor of the car. These four put both jobs in one shell, with a zip between them.

Open the page →

PASMAN puffer tote bags

A puffer tote weighs almost nothing on the way out of the house and squares up as soon as it is loaded. The medium is a shoulder bag. The large is a weekend bag that still takes a 15.6-inch laptop.

Open the page →

PASMAN beach bags

A beach bag has one real job and it is not carrying. It is what happens to the sand and the water on the way home. One of ours zips shut against them. The other lets both fall straight through the weave.

Open the page →

PASMAN rolling grocery carts

The weekly shop is the one load nobody should be carrying by the handles. These fold flat in a boot, open into 67 to 120 litres, and roll over a kerb instead of stopping at it.

Three long reads built out of the same numbers as the cards: what fits, what keeps, and what folds.

10 About the brand

Where the PASMAN name goes

A bag company that started in 2018 and has spent the years since on one narrow problem: how a working day gets carried. The long version is on its own page: what we make, who it is for, and the three things that cost us something to do.

Questions

Questions people ask about PASMAN

If the answer is a number, it is the number on the card. the PASMAN way of counting pockets does not round it up.

Will a PASMAN work tote take your 15.6-inch laptop with the case on?

The sleeve is cut for a 15.6-inch machine, which in practice means about 16 inches of usable width against the back wall. A slim sleeve case fits with it. A hard shell plus a chunky charger brick in the same pocket does not, and that is what the zipped wall pocket behind the sleeve is for.

How cold will a PASMAN lunch compartment keep your food?

Cold enough for a morning if you help it, and never on its own. A foil-faced lining slows the exchange down, and it does not refrigerate anything. The thing that holds the temperature is what you put in with the food. Federal guidance for a packed lunch asks for an insulated bag and at least two cold sources, and that is the combination we would pack too. The figures behind that sit on our updates page.

Can you put a PASMAN puffer tote in the washing machine?

Treat them as wipe-clean. Quilted nylon takes a damp cloth and mild soap without complaint. A washing machine takes the loft out of the padding and the bag comes back flatter than it went in. Let it dry open rather than folded.

Will a PASMAN rolling cart fold small enough for your car boot?

All of them fold flat, and the difference is height standing up rather than thickness folded. The medium is the one most people can lift into a boot loaded. The large holds a full week for a household and is easier to roll to the car and unpack there. Both fold to roughly the thickness of a laptop bag.

Where can you buy PASMAN bags?

Through our retail partner. Every card on this site has a button that opens the current listing for that colourway in a new tab, with the price the till will use. Payment, delivery and returns are handled there.

Do you get a choice of sizes in the PASMAN range?

Four of them do. The puffer tote runs medium and large, and the three rolling carts run through small, medium and large with the capacity in litres printed beside each one. Everything else is a single size, and the dimensions are on its page.
