Notes from our data check
Brand spec tab: 'Weight: 2 lbs Capacity: 25 L Dimensions: 12" x 16" x 8"' (unlabelled). The brand line drawing labels 12" height (body only; carry handles are drawn above the measured height), 16" width and 8" depth, so includesWheelsHandles is false. The brand comparison table on the same page writes it as 16" x 12" x 8". Badges: 'Personal Item', 'Under-Seat Friendly', and Airline Eligibility 'Personal Item'. EXPANDS: feature list says 'Expandable by 2"' without naming the axis, so expandedDims is null. If depth, it would be 10", over most 8"-9" limits. No laptop compartment ('Laptop Compartment ✕'). Price $138, no compare-at. ASIN B07YXNJXNL is the Metallic Black colourway (slug 'CALPAK-Luka-Duffel-Metallic-Black'), a colour not in Calpak's current list, so it may be an older listing. A 'Large Luka Duffel' (19 x 14.25 x 9.5 in, 42 L, carry-on) is a different product. cm and kg converted.
