Lovely bag that will carry a laptop - for a gift

15 replies

I've been tasked with buying a gift for a friends 40th - a bag that can fit a laptop, but not an expensive over sized handbag, or a too 'practical' laptop bag.

It is for someone quite arty, fun and classic.

I'm not having much luck and I'm finding shopping hard with dd's 3 and months.

Any ideas gratefully received. Budget up to £80, £100 at a push.

TIA

ooh I love the Bermondsey one, shame its not leather.

We're looking at black/brown/tan (personally I like more colour).

It's for a 40 year old BF Mum of 2 , with the aim of feeling/looking together & great as she writes her degree finishing thesis.

I quite like this but is it too plain? Is it 'feelgood'?

don't know what I say "shame it's not leather" - got my Mum's voice in my head "if it's not leather it's not good" (NB Mum is one of the least stylish women around bless her) Grin

How about this

  • not leather but calf hair and tweedy wood and quite arty -- and in the sale too!

zara had a tan leather one which might do the trick.
