The Professional's Carry: Goyard Ambassade Bag Size Guide
, by Jiaxin He , 5 min reading time
The Goyard Ambassade is not a traditional handbag; it’s a structured document case or briefcase designed for the working professional. It provides a sleek, classic way to carry essential business items, fitting into the brand's heritage of luxury trunk and luggage making.
If you are looking for a high-end, discreet work bag, the Ambassade is a key consideration. This guide breaks down the typical sizes and what each one offers in terms of capacity.
📏 Goyard Ambassade Document Case Dimensions
The Ambassade is primarily available in two sizes: the PM (Petit Modèle) and the MM (Moyen Modèle) or GM (Grand Modèle). Note that Goyard refers to the Ambassade as a "Document Case," which sets the expectation for its primary function.
In the MM/GM model, there are two versions, single compartment (middle below) vs double compartment and double zippers (right below).
Dimensions are listed as Length Height x Depth. Length (L) refers to the longest side, typically the opening/zipper.
| Size | Dimensions (cm) | Dimensions (inches) | Use Case |
| PM (Petit Modèle) | Documents, Smaller Laptops/Tablets | ||
|
MM (Moyen Modèle) |
15-inch Laptops, Expanded Carry | ||
| GM Double Layer |
1. The Ambassade PM (Petit Modèle)
The PM is the more compact option, ideal for the professional who doesn't need to carry a significant volume of items.
-
Capacity: It is perfectly sized for carrying documents (standard A4 folders), a small notebook, a tablet, or a smaller, slimmer laptop (typically up to a 13-inch size, depending on the model). The depth is relatively slim, making it easy to carry.
-
Best For: Everyday office use, client meetings, or when traveling to business events where you only need core essentials and a streamlined look.
2. The Ambassade MM (Moyen Modèle)
The MM offers a noticeably larger footprint and greater depth, making it the most versatile choice for heavier use.
-
Capacity: The increased length and depth allow it to comfortably fit a larger laptop (up to approximately 15 inches for many models). It provides ample room for a power cable, full-sized notebooks, bulkier files, and small accessories.
-
Best For: Daily commuting where you carry a full-sized laptop, or short business trips where you need a bit more space for organizational pouches or a lightweight travel kit.
🔑 Key Features
Regardless of the size chosen, the Ambassade shares several key features:
-
Structure: It maintains a rectangular, structured shape that protects documents and devices from bending.
-
Material: Crafted from the iconic Goyardine canvas with leather trimming and handles.
-
Organization: The interior typically features a main compartment, an internal zippered pocket, and flat pockets for small items. An exterior slip pocket is also common for quick access.
-
Carrying: It features sturdy, rolled leather top handles. For added versatility, the Ambassade MM is designed with specific attachment points, allowing an optional leather or canvas MM strap to be purchased separately for crossbody or shoulder wear.
The choice between the PM and MM largely comes down to the size of your laptop and the volume of documents you carry daily. If you run lean, the PM is sufficient. If you need room for a 15-inch machine or more gear, the MM is the clear choice.
