OK Bag Lovers - how about one that is lovely, not black and can take a macbook 13" and a couple of books along with usual crap?

Says it all really... I'm happy to spend a bit, but will be going back to student life and need a bag which is casual/smart/sophisticated but not too much so. How's that for a brief!

I met someone with a lovely bag from Massimo Dutti, and seemed large enough for all that.

And I've mentioned before that the Longchamps Pliage is taking over the world. I used to carry my laptop in mine.

I have recommended knomo bags before on here. They look smart and also protect your laptop. Sale on atm

I guess the Modalu Pippa would fit the bill - have seen it and it is nice -though , as a mature student myself, have some reservations not only about whether I want to emulate Pippa but also about whether it isn't a bit too 'structured' for student life.

PS just seen the reference to the Longchamps Pliage and have to say I do end up using that most days because it's so good to have something that adds virtually no weight to all the books etc and sits comfortably on my shoulder.

some big A4 bags here..

big fold over slouch bag, Peony & Moore

big oushka bag

Ooh love the peony and moore and the oushka madamecholet - thanks! The pliage looks v nice but quite 'buckety' if that makes sense? Also, it seems so wrong somehow to buy the Pippa - I'm sure she is lovely and everything IYSWIM .

I'm so fussy though, the blue oushka is out of stock which would be my preferred colour and I'm not so sure on the green p and m one (and don't want black) so if there are any more suggestions they will be very gratefully received.....

Thanks again
