Work- returner. Lost my style mojo. Is this bag ugly?

[Kikipost]

I’m after a smart work bag that is also a back pack that can fit a thin a4 document holder, water bottle etc

Is fiorelli a no-no?

Budget up to £100, as otherwise is definitely go for whistles.

I like that

I like the bag. I don't think the brand particularly matters

It's fine. Not a striking style statement, but perfectly smart and contemporary. I like Fiorelli bags - I'm picky about pockets and like simple designs and they tick the boxes.

It's lovely, who cares about brands, if you do just buy a fake Gucci or Kors from eBay

Good luck going back 😊

I bought this bag in the summer and i love it but it doesnt actually fit a4 folders or anything as the zips dont fully reach to the ends of the bag, it does fit a4 thin plastic wallets if you roll it slightly to fit it in though

Are fiorelli bags leather?

Yes that would be my issue with it, it's faux leather which means (to be at least) that it won't last as well as a leather bag.
You have a decent budget and could get a well made leather back pack for that price I'm sure.
It does look good, my worry would be for how long, that's all!

The John Lewis 'Rhea' back pack is similar in style but it's made of leather, not available in black but in Navy and Burgundy for about £50

I’ve fallen in love with this company www.ollieandnic.com/collections/backpacks

They’ve a sale on at the moment and I just got the most gorgeous tote bag and purse for next to nothing!

They sell in Debenhams as well hence why I then googled them and found their website./

They are faux leather though... they do some leather products
