Please help me to find a stylish bag for large laptop!

[MaryThorne]

I would like to find a new bag which will fit my 15.6 inch work laptop. I am struggling to find anything other than a boring, generic laptop rucksack but wondered if someone might be able to suggest something more stylish and/ or what brands to look at.

Following OP! I’ve been looking for a laptop bag for ages

If it doesn't have to be a rucksack style, you could try Radley's tote bags or grab bags (their backpacks look a bit small for a laptop). They also seem to have a sale on right now!

Happy for it not to be a backpack. Thanks for the Radley suggestion. They still look a bit small unfortunately but good discounts!

Try Mandarina duck.

I love the look of this one though it is very pricey.

I was in T K Maxx today and they had some lovely pale grey leather laptop bags...might be worth a look if you have one near you.

Some great suggestions here! The biggest problem is the laptop size. I've seen loads I like that can fit smaller laptops but once you get to 15.6" it's much more limited.

Knomo have bags that take 15 inch laptops.

Rains - just bought this one and it's pretty big

It's frustrating but sometimes you need to look in the men's section. Tumi is another suggestion.

Radley have made all of their bags smaller it seems, shrinkflation? They used to do a lot of work bags that were big enough for a full laptop. Perhaps more people are working on tablets.

Look at Ally Capellini but £££

I have been really happy with this Wegner backpack when travelling with my laptop: www.johnlewis.com/browse/electricals/computer-tablet-accessories/laptop-bags-cases/_/N-a6r?intcmp=cp_ele_ceaccs_tobl3_top_laptopbagsandcases_x201016

I’m usually not a fan of backpacks, but a large laptop (even if not really heavy) is annoying IMO to have in a crossbody bag.
It is not a big, bulky bag, so if you need to carry loads of other things with you, it may not be the right bag for you, but it should hold a large laptop, an ipad, a thin A4 folder and an A5 notepad, chargers, as well as purse, phone, passport and a makeup bag or similar.

Don't make my mistake and buy a lovely tote that's quite slim.

Laptop goes in but the charger is a struggle!

I would think a normal bag would be safer than a laptop bag. Do you want people to know there's a laptop inside it?
Have you tried Kath Kidson?
