Work rucksack

12 replies

Ohmyzebra · 03/05/2021 17:18

I need help finding a work rucksack. It needs to be big enough to carry a laptop and some books / document wallets.
I’ve been hankering after this John Lewis one for months. But it came this week and it’s tiny. (Should’ve read the description!)
Anyone got any good ideas of similar stuff that will fit my brief?
Preferably black or navy.
Thanks

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

Can't see any links in your post but I have a Knomo for work and love it

I’ve just bought a Roka one. The medium one is big enough for a laptop and they are lightweight, waterproof and come in lots of colours. I was hankering after an expensive leather one but needed something light.

What's your budget?

I'm looking for the same thing and I like this one from samsonite

I like that it doesn't look too formal

No idea why my first link didn’t work. I’ll try again to post the John Lewis one

@MavisMonkey thanks, they look very nice.

@Musmerian I like the Roka ones. But they, along with kanken, seem to be very popular round here, which puts me off a bit.

Thanks @goose1964 that looks very similar to my changing bag. I want something that feels a bit more “work” iykwim.

@SelkieFly i think probably up to about £150 for the right one.

Thanks everyone, I’m so stuck. Back at work after a long mat leave and feeling a bit lost in terms of style. I thought a new bag would be a nice way of freshening things up, but it’s just doing my head in!

Kate spade have some nice laptop bags

It’s very cheap but i have an accessorize one which I love and fits my laptop nicely in a little pocket at the back. I have found it to be good quality so far although haven’t used it for a year! But used it everyday for about 2 years before lockdown. It’s this one: www.accessorize.com/uk/judy-vegan-backpack-black-68992803.html

Mia Tui Sydney bag might be worth a look?

Ohmyzebra · 03/05/2021 21:54

I like those @MamaWeasel - thanks 🙂

Another vote for the Mia tui Sydney - I have a mustard yellow & it's perfect for work (for me anyway!)

I have this bag and I absolutely love it. Super comfy even fully loaded with laptop, books etc ;
