Leather work bag

Needs to be able to carry a laptop. Notebook pen. Purse. keys and general handbag stuff.

Not too formal due to nature of job. Think lots of door knocking and visiting homes.

I wear a lot of black or blue. Thinking plum or purple. Really struggling to find anything. Would prefer leather.

I was given a satchel from Vida Vida by DH for Christmas.

It is absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous leather, well made and a classic that will last years and years. Would definitely recommend x

Gosh @peeweep they are all lovely. Only problem is colour choices.

I’m started to look away from leather. Thinking Kipling superwork or similar.

I get all my work bags from Pure Luxuries.

They're functional more than "special" but they are leather,very good quality for the money and have lots of colour choices. My current one is plum.

Depends how much you want to spend. I've got this and it comes in a range of colours.

I had leather but found it very heavy. Knomo do great work bags that are not leather.

@peeweep those bags are gorgeous!

S&B is my nemesis, I'm skint after buying so many recommended things on here 😂

I carry a WP Standard tote and they really are work horses, extremely durable plus they look absolutely stunning with the copper rivets.
Carries everything!

@StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind it really is gorgeous. It was a lovely surprise - DH found it after hunting online. I had asked for a bag that I could fit my iPad and work stuff in and had linked to a backpack in m & s as a suggestion! He found this instead and had my initials embossed on it too! It is really such a lovely thing. It has lots of pockets and plenty of room inside and is a beautiful brown leather which I think will age really well.

I bought a knomo and it was rubbish, sold it in the end. Found it poor quality and it sagged. Barely hold a laptop, purse and work book

@Shinylikeglass got a few I’m liking in there. Do you carry a laptop in yours? Notebook? Which one do you have?

@lilylongjohn that’s interesting about the knomo. I can’t afford the ones you linked to.

Started looking at this one but can’t say it’s stunning.

I bought myself the Knomo Maddox earlier this year for my return from mat leave and I love it. knomo.com/products/maddox-laptop-tote-120-204-blk
I carry my laptop, cable, headset, notebooks, a5 diary, purse and 2 phones.

@LampLighterInn they are lovely. Like the oxblood one
