This illustrative soft cabin bag carries by hand or on the back, with backpack straps that stow behind a zipped panel. A front zipped pocket takes small items. Choose a colour and a volume to complete the build and request a quote.
Convertible bags are bought by travellers who move on foot between transport: ferry to old town, station to guesthouse, cobbles where wheels give up. They judge two things at once: how it looks and carries as a case, and how comfortable it is as a backpack once the straps come out. Volume decides both, as well as whether the bag will pass as cabin luggage.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
Graphite, black, navy and moss are selectable, and sand and rust are also offered. Volume is 40 or 55 litres. The demo image shows the bag closed as a case in each colour, with the volume recorded in the summary. For this product the carry mode matters as much as colour, so a production build would add a worn view showing the straps in use.

Why a configurator suits cabin bags
A convertible bag has two personalities, and most product pages show only one. Buyers who never see it worn assume the straps are an afterthought. Buyers who only see it worn wonder how it looks walking into a hotel. Offering both views per colour fixes that, so each buyer judges the mode they care about most.
Volume is the second decision. The smaller bag is the safer choice for strict cabin allowances and shorter backs. The larger holds more, but buyers need to check its dimensions against their airline and consider the weight on a long walk when full. Showing external dimensions beside each volume steers them to the right one.
Twelve variants, each with two carry modes to show, is the kind of image set retailers skip and buyers ask about by email. Answering it on the page cuts pre-sale questions and returns from people who found the bag carried differently than they expected. The worn view also answers the comfort question for buyers with shorter backs.
How a production version would be built
A production build needs a closed view per colour and volume, plus a worn view per volume in one or two colours. The worn view could sit behind a toggle labelled by carry mode, since the bag's shape changes when the straps are out. Needed from the brand: external dimensions per volume, empty weight, torso length guidance for the shoulder straps and colour SKUs. Add-ons such as packing cubes can sit in the same configurator. Checkout runs through WooCommerce or Shopify, and retailers with physical stores can let customers reserve a configured bag for collection.

Questions about cabin bag configurators
Can the configurator show the bag carried both as a case and as a backpack?
Yes, with a carry-mode toggle. Each mode has its own image, taken from the same angle, so switching shows the straps coming out of the zipped panel. The worn view only needs one or two colours, because the strap system is the same across the range.
How do we explain whether 55 litres counts as cabin baggage?
Through dimensions, not litres. Show external measurements for each volume and a clear note that airline limits vary. The configurator can flag that the larger volume may exceed stricter allowances, without promising acceptance on any particular airline. That keeps the advice honest and useful.
Can packing cubes and accessories be added in the same configurator?
Yes. Accessories can sit as optional add-ons below the main choices, filtered to suit the selected volume. Cubes sized for the 40 litre bag only appear when it is chosen. They join the same basket or quote as the bag, so nothing needs ordering separately.
How long does a travel bag configurator take to build?
Most of the time goes into photography and product data rather than code. If you already have consistent images for each colour and volume, a configurator for one bag family is a short project. Adding worn views, accessories and store integration extends it. Enquiries get a reply, with an outline, within two UK working days.
