CALIA Bag – Versatile Athletic & Lifestyle Carryall
The CALIA bag is your perfect companion from morning workout to evening errands. We designed this versatile carryall to balance athletic function with everyday style, so you never have to choose between performance and aesthetic. The spacious main compartment easily holds gym essentials, yoga gear, or daily necessities, while dedicated pockets keep smaller items organized and accessible.
Crafted with water-resistant fabric and reinforced stitching at stress points, this bag stands up to your busiest days. Adjustable shoulder straps and padded handles provide comfortable carry options whether you’re rushing to class or traveling for the weekend. The thoughtful interior organization includes a ventilated shoe compartment, interior zip pocket, and elastic key clip—everything has its place so you can focus on what matters most.
Designed for Movement & Style
Materials & Construction Built to Last
We craft every CALIA bag from premium water-resistant polyester that repels moisture while maintaining a lightweight feel. The fabric undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it withstands daily wear, UV exposure, and frequent washing without fading or weakening. Double-stitched seams at every stress point—including strap attachments and zipper terminals—prevent separation even when the bag is fully loaded.
The reinforced base panel features extra-dense foam padding that protects your belongings and maintains the bag’s structured silhouette. Metal hardware including YKK zippers and anodized D-rings resist corrosion and operate smoothly through thousands of cycles. We finish each bag with water-repellent coating on both exterior and interior surfaces, creating a barrier that keeps gym clothes dry and prevents odor absorption into the fabric itself.
Interior Organization That Works
The main compartment of the CALIA bag opens wide with a dual-zipper system that allows full access to contents from either side. Inside, you’ll find a zippered security pocket sized perfectly for phones, wallets, and keys—items you need to access quickly but keep protected. An elastic key leash with swivel clip ensures your keys never disappear into the bag’s depths.
The ventilated shoe compartment features mesh panels that promote airflow while containing dirt and odor. This separate section fits up to women’s size 11 athletic shoes and includes a removable divider that converts the space for other uses when shoes aren’t needed. Two interior slip pockets hold flat items like notebooks, tablets up to 11 inches, or extra workout apparel you want to keep wrinkle-free and immediately accessible.
Carrying Comfort for All-Day Use
We engineered the CALIA bag’s carrying system with input from athletes who demand comfort during long commutes and travel days. The padded shoulder straps feature breathable mesh backing that prevents heat buildup and includes adjustment sliders that accommodate heights from 5’0″ to 6’2″. Strap width distributes weight evenly across your shoulder, reducing pressure points even when the bag is fully packed.
Dual padded handles with reinforced stress-bar construction let you carry the bag by hand or tuck it into overhead compartments. The detachable crossbody strap extends up to 52 inches and connects via swivel clips that prevent twisting. A luggage sleeve on the back panel slides over rolling suitcase handles, transforming your CALIA bag into a secure carry-on companion that stays in place during airport navigation.

CALIA Bag – Your Questions Answered
The CALIA bag measures 18 inches long, 12 inches high, and 9 inches deep, providing 32 liters of storage capacity. This size accommodates a full change of clothes, shoes, towel, water bottle, and personal items while remaining compact enough to fit in gym lockers and under airplane seats. The structured design maintains these dimensions even when the bag isn’t fully packed.
The CALIA bag is not machine washable due to the water-resistant coating and reinforced construction elements. We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap for routine maintenance. For deeper cleaning, wipe down all interior and exterior surfaces by hand, then air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. This care method preserves the fabric’s water-repellent properties and extends the bag’s lifespan.
Yes, the CALIA bag accommodates a standard rolled yoga mat up to 26 inches long inside the main compartment. For mats that are larger or if you prefer external carry, the bag pairs perfectly with our CALIA Studio Tote which features dedicated yoga mat straps. The main compartment’s width and depth allow you to pack the mat alongside other gym essentials without sacrificing interior organization space.
The ventilated shoe compartment is designed to fit women’s athletic shoes up to size 11 comfortably. Men’s shoes in smaller sizes (typically up to size 9) will fit, though larger men’s shoes may require using the main compartment instead. The removable divider within the shoe section allows you to customize the space based on your footwear size and storage needs.
While we design the CALIA bag to handle typical gym and travel loads, we recommend keeping total weight under 25 pounds to maintain optimal comfort and preserve the bag’s structural integrity. The reinforced stitching and quality hardware support this weight reliably, but exceeding this limit regularly may accelerate wear on straps and zippers. Distribute weight evenly throughout compartments for best results.
Yes, we offer replacement straps for the CALIA bag through our customer service team. Both the padded shoulder straps and the detachable crossbody strap can be purchased separately if they become worn or damaged. Contact our support team with your bag’s SKU number, and we’ll help you order the correct replacement components to extend your bag’s functional life.
The CALIA bag features two exterior side pockets, each designed to securely hold water bottles up to 32 ounces. The elastic top band keeps bottles stable during movement, while the depth prevents them from falling out when you bend or run. These pockets also work well for umbrellas, resistance bands, or other tall items you want to access quickly without opening the main compartment.
