tote bag

[LotisBlue]

I am looking for a tote bag or similar for work

I need to be able to carry and A4 pad and papers, plus purse, keys, phone, and occasionally water bottle and lunch. So it needs to be quite big. I currently use a rucksack but would prefer a shoulder bag.

I don't like the look of leather bags, I prefer something colourful or patterned (and luckily my workplace is quite informal so I can get away with this). Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

Look at the Lulu Guinness sale. Quirky with 70% off some items

Thank you

I've just bought this -can't complain at that price !

I have this, with my initials in red. It was a present, and I really love it - the two different straps are really useful, and the fact the straps are leather mean it's sturdy. I'm a lecturer and sometimes cart about piles of marking in it as well as lunch, umbrella etc, and occasionally my laptop too. (I use a leather cross-body bag for purse, makeup, phone etc, this is purely an "overflow tote" for me.)

Thanks for the ideas

The Baggu duck bags are brilliant

Judy I love that bag....

Thanks, pink, it's fab, isn't it? I had a woman chase me down the street to ask where it was from a few weeks ago!

LL Bean boat and tote. I think Land's End (UK) also do a version.

I just bought this one tonight ..... cheap & cheerful, not in Lulu Guinness price range! (Although I didn't d just have a look at their sale, thank you!)

i use \link{http://www.fatface.com/bags+purses/stripe-cotton-shopper-bag/invt/921158#ff_colour=Navy\this} but have an additional small handbag for keys etc. it's good as it has a zip and inner pocket.
