Nice laptop bag - is there such a thing?

[Trills]

Er, that's it.

Is there such a thing as a laptop bag that is comfy to carry and looks nice?

I have to pretend to be a sophisticated grownup businessperson, you see.

So I'll have a laptop.

And I'll need to carry it around.

Preferably in something that is not made of the black woven plasticy stuff.

Knomo ones are lovely. Or mulberry do a fab one if you are v rich

ally capellino, paul smith, built new york. What's your budget and how big is your laptop?

I have a fairly neutral nylon one from Muji.

Laptop will be a 13 inch one, so in theory nice and portable.

Budget is, er, not Mulberry. I don't know how much I want to spend until I see how much these things cost, I have no frame of reference. Obviously I'd love to find a perfect lovely bag for £30 and then go and drink a lot of nice wine with the rest of the money that I might have spent, but that doesn't seem very likely. :)

try searching for ladies laptop bag on amazon, some nice looking but cheap ones there!

1. Get a bag you love that will hold your laptop.
2. Get one of these laptop sleeves to put in your bag. here

I was considering that roary, but if there is a bag out there that is nice and had a built-in bit for my laptop to go in that would be lovely...

Penelope and Parker do nice ones....

here, not Mulberry prices but not £30....

Trills they are especially wonderful sleeves. Then you can pop laptop in to ANY bag if you need to swap around....but Mme Cholet is a bit of a bag authority!

primark surprisingly has a few

If I do that I know I'll just buy a sleeve and then stick it in an existing handbag and not buy myself a nice new one...

Bag authority ....old bag more like...!

seriously, mme, I have seen your temptress ways in action. Get over to a&w and find me a dress! please.

What do I need to look for then, o great and wise bag authority?

I'm thinking: space for stuff other than laptop, comfy handles.

I quite like this red one. And this black one has lots of compartments inside.

NY Built to lovely laptop bags and sleeves if you like bold and bright.

I'm in lust with the roxy...

roxy but its £££

on sale for £299 in brown

TK Maxx has some lovely ones for under £40 (which I cannot justify because I got given a crappy one from work )

The Built NY ones all look like they are just for holding your laptop - not for carrying anything else at all, if you see what I mean.

The optional long strap on the Roxy one is nice, but not sure I can spend that much and I don't knwo how I feel about the snakeyness.

Crumpler has got awersome ones!

Crumpler does look like a cool place to be, this one is nice but I was imagining a more handbaggy sort of bag.

TK Maxx, I have got a Betty Barclay one in black faux leather. I noticed they have some nicer looking leather ones around the £50 mark though at the moment. The one I have is a lot slimmer and lighter than the sort of bag the IT department give you with your laptop.

Couple more here...

not so sensible

trills have a look at this site too...

black one

woven black one

I like this one

I like that last one best of your suggestions too - it's less of the messenger-bag-style look at me I'm a laptop bag. :)
