Notes from our data check
Brand: 'Capacity 28L Dimensions 39 x 29.5 x 20 cm 15.4 x 11.6 x 7.9 in Devices Up to 15.6 inches'; 'The Classic Backpack 28L measures 39 x 29.5 x 20 cm and meets the carry-on size limits of 120 airlines'. Sized for Ryanair's 40 x 30 x 20 cm allowance. Axes not labelled (source order). Weight is not shown in the brand page text (an Amazon extract says 600 g / 1 lb 5 oz, unverified; the Shopify variant weight is shipping weight and ignored). PRICE: US$93 shown on cabinzero.com via GBP conversion (the page's embedded variant JSON shows $92), not a US list price. Amazon: listings exist (e.g. B07R53K5FG, B0F3DC34G6); one Amazon extract gives 45 x 31 x 20 cm, which is the brand's Classic 36L size, so asin is null.
