Is the Everyday Cabas big enough for a laptop?

Yes. At 15 inches wide, 11 inches tall and 6.25 inches deep, the main compartment fits most 13 to 15 inch laptops along with a pouch and a water bottle.

Can it be worn crossbody?

No. It has a single shoulder strap with an 11.75 inch drop, so it sits on the shoulder rather than across the body.

How does suede hold up day to day?

Suede is softer and lighter than smooth leather but shows water marks, oil and rubbing more readily. Treat it before use and keep it out of heavy rain.

Does the magnetic lock keep the bag closed securely?

The magnetic lock holds the top together for quick access, but it is not a zip. It keeps the bag shut in normal carry but is not a barrier against pickpockets or spills.

How does it compare with Mansur Gavriel's bucket bag?

The Cabas is wider and shallower with a shoulder strap, so it carries a laptop and flat items better. The bucket bag is taller, cinches closed with a drawstring and is more secure.
