Non ugly laptop bag

Is there such a thing??

Criteria are:-
Smart and stylish for city job but kind of pretty would be nice
Dark colour
Big enough for laptop and large file of papers - quite a bit bigger than a4.
Comfy to carry
If I can squeeze in a pair of shoes too....brilliant!

Can anyone find me one? Starting new job in the new year and having a wobble about looking up to the part

Zara city bags are the business !

How much do you want to spend?

Aspinal have beautiful ones and 20% off at the moment

I hate laptop bags for precisely this reason! I have a large leather tote from monsoon - it was about £50 and I can fit laptop, A4 ring binders in their, stationery and all papers! I've not tried shoes but i suspect I could get a pair in!

Budget of about £150 so can't splash out on an aspinal!

I have this in a different colour and it's brilliant for work. Wish I'd bought it in black as well when I saw it. Separate laptop bit and good pockets, big enough for your needs.

I also have a knomo, found the exact one I had been coveting but too expensive at £325, found it in TKMaxx for £130.

Just found they do have it in black, ordered one.

Ooooh! Thanks. Trip to tk max I think

I love that one, youremywife, but could you let me know if it's leather? The website doesn't seem to say. Thank you.

Cote & Ciel do fab bags and they turn up on eBay sometimes too.

SparklyLeprechaun · 29/11/2016 19:23

Menssana - yes, the Paul Costelloe bag is leather. I've got it, it's nice but it would be even better if it had a strap as well. I find it always falls off my shoulder,so I wouldn't rate it as the most comfortable laptop bag ever.

Knomo! Order tonight and some stuff is still in black Friday!

PatriciaHolm · 29/11/2016 19:47

I've got one of these (and the matching overnighter)
