Hello, could anyone recommend a stylish bag (crossbody?) that can hold a lightweight laptop, notebook, purse etc for daily use? Waterproof if possible.
TIA

Have a look at Knomo. Pricey but really great for laptops and more.

A lot of people like Knomo, they do laptop bags and rucksacks, give that a try.

Might help to give a sense of your budget?

Right you’ll think I’m mad, but try searching for stylish nappy bags. They’re waterproof, cushioned and come in a much wider range of styles and prints- that’s what I always do now!

Mia Tui do good work bags. Cross body bags are normally small, do you mean like a messenger bag?

NotMeNoNo · 17/10/2020 23:21

More sporty/unisex options- Osprey , Mammut etc ( outdoor brands) or Crumpler.

Posting to echo the Knomo recommendation. Worth the investment, I've used mine for work for 2.5 years solidly so I figure the cost per wear is pretty good. Fits everything and stylish to boot.

Take a look at Elvis & Kresse - social enterprise, recycled materials. I have a couple of the fire hose bags which are pretty much indestructible

Thanks everyone, I’ll look through all of these. Budget is around £300 so if anyone else can think of any please let me know. TIA

I'd like an Aurelia London bag but not sure how heavy it would be (I use mobility aids).

BloomedAgain · 18/10/2020 11:43

Sorry Aurora London.

I recently got a Longchamp Neo for this, love having the top handle and the cross body strap.

Another Knomo concert here!

If you want something on the smart side that should stretch to a Ralph Lauren.

I have one similar to this that has a strap long enough to be worn cross body.
