All I want for Christmas is...

[SwearyMaclary]

A plain, leather, zip-top shopper/tote that I can chuck my laptop and assorted work crap into. Ideally not crazily expensive.

Any ideas? I’ve seen about a million ones without zips but I’d prefer not to get my purse nicked on the tube or all my stuff soaked every time it chucks it down.

TIA.

What size is your laptop? I see some zippered bags but not big enough for the average laptop probably

I also wanted a black, leather, zipper tote bag which would fit my laptop. I bought this & I love it. But it depends on the size of your laptop, mine isn’t very big.

My laptop’s a Microsoft Surface so not massive.

Quite a few in the Debenhams sale that might fit the bill, I have quite a nice Osprey bag of the type you want but I’m not sure your budget.

I've got a Mia tui bag from a recommendation on here. It's smartish and decent for work but it's quite heavy even when empty and holds quite a lot so I make it even heavier.

I will say that leather bags are mostly heavy, I find. I dumped my expensive Radley because of that.,
