So, I asked DH what he wanted for Christmas...mission pretty effing difficult....Help!

[spub]

Hoping I can call upon the collective expertise on the MN Xmas shoppers.
DH would like a leather satchel for Xmas - big enough for his 17 inch laptop.
That's fine.
Except is has to be reasonably smart looking, black or brown, look like a satchel but have magnetic fasteners under the buckles as he can't be arsed unbuckling it all the time but likes the look of buckles..Oh, and he'd prefer leather and can it have a handle but also a shoulder strap?
Max budget £150. I have found the one below but wonder if I could do better?

Lovely bag. He is a total pain in the arse.
I did find these as a result of everyone's help but suspect I'm not done yet... as they are not just "it"

Slightly over budget and no buckles but maybe?
Thanks, Book for the bump to Next

I saw the Rocha one - with 2 handles, does it make it girly again?

If you google messenger bags, there are a lot of nice ones without buckles :)

Girly may be the least of his worries at this point in time....[santa]

My husband bought something that sounds exactly like what your DH wants, and uses it every day. He can't remember how much he spent but it won't have been more than your budget I'm pretty sure. Ring these people.

Annandale , Many thanks. Shop looks fab and I'm sure they'll love dealing with my somewhat random list of requirements! Cheers!

Glad you like the cartoon bags - hope that your dd loves it once your dh has recovered from the shock

They make me smile when I see them!
