Notes from our data check
Brand size guide (metric view): 'Carry-On Ready: Underseat Approved Size: 31 cm x 20.5 cm x 42 cm Capacity: 28 L Weight: 0.90 kg Laptop: 15.6"'. Axes are not labelled, so the array is in source order; 42 cm is presumably height. Inches and lb are converted. The 20.5 cm depth (8.07") is just over the common 8" personal-item depth. The Amazon listing (title includes the brand SKU BM0301094AC022, an exact match to the beige variant) gives about 12.2" x 16.5" x 8.1" per search extract, which matches. Price $69.99 (compare-at equals price).
