Bag virgin

[CutToChase]

Can anyone help me find a bag? I've never actually owned a proper bag, I'm 33

I've always just used a backpack. Now I'm feeling the urge though. The bag needs to meet some criteria:

1. I'm looking for an everyday bag big enough to throw in my Zenbook (v small laptop)
2. No more than £300
3. I am generally quite a grungy dressier, so I'm looking for a bag that looks cool but nothing too preppy or elegant looking as I dont think that would go with my wardrobe

What colour are you looking for ?

AllSaints do really good bags - maybe something like these? Not sure if they're quite big enough though:

Or maybe something like Vivienne Westwood, Kenzo or Comme des Garcons?

What kind of colour/fabric do you want?

The Kooples!!!

Try coach, but wait for the sales as you can grab a bargain.

At that price point I’d look at Demellier, Polene Paris and Smaak Amsterdam.

I have the older version of this

Try pure luxuries, often have 50% off codes

One of my favourite soft leather bags was from M&S. I still love a backpack though for all my crap.

All Saints would suit your style. Buy during the sales or BF discounts.

I read this as bad virgin.
