Handbags for work- London commute

[mummysmagicmedicine]

I am looking for a designer handbag tote style that I would use for work. Budget is £500 and under and colour wise I prefer neutral colours. Needs to be large enough to fit a laptop and other bits but most importantly have comfy straps (as comfy as possible for a tote style handbag!).

I like the Coach Lana bag so far, will also look in Michael Kors too. Love Longchamp but found the straps SO painful!

Any brands or specific product recommendations would be much appreciated!

I have also tried a Michael Kors leather style rucksack for work but I just felt I looked similar to my school days🙈. So definitely looking for a handbag style instead

i have the demellier tote, and it’s a workhorse of a bag. Looks classy, holds loads of stuff , well made

Oh I like that, have seen a lot of them around come to think of it, thank you will add to my list to consider xx

I would steer clear of Michael Kors, I think it's a brand teenagers use.

If you're not hung up on brand names, I have a gorgeous, and immensely practical, La Mansio.

I have a reversible tote from this company. Really comfortable straps (much better than my pliage much as I love it) and great quality leather. Made in the UK. If you choose a reversible tote you can customise the colours for very little extra. https://www.anyasushko.com/collections/totes

I have a couple of fairfax and favour bags, one that holds a laptop and really good quality

They’re gorgeous bags, really
