Laptop bag / Handbag hybrid

[SausageRoll2020]

We'll likely have the option of working in an actual office with actual people again soon which for me is awesome but it has sprung to mind that this will mean having to haul my laptop back and forth.

So I'd love any recommendations you might have for a laptop bag / handbag hybrid so I'm not awkwardly carrying two bags but have enough room for everything.

To add a bit more info on what I'm hoping to find;
Reasonably stylish but doesn't need to be super fashionable
I am absolutely not a back pack person
Fairly neutral-ish colour without being black and boring
Big enough for a 17" laptop, notebook, brolly, packed lunch, normal handbag bits etc
I commute on foot
Happy to go to around £200 or so for something that is decent quality but ideally a little less

Feel free to tell me I'm looking for the impossible!

"I did find it a bit annoying that the designs aimed at women only seem to go up to 15" whereas those marketed at men are much more spacious (and yes I'm aware a bag doesn't have a gender, not really bothered about who it's marketed to but do want it to look nice)."

Yes, but on average a woman is less strong than a man so a system of having to carry your laptop to work all the time is harder on women than men. It's one of the things that worry me about going back to work. I'm desperate to go, but I'd like to be able to leave my computer there and not have to carry it all the time. It may also prompt people to drive to work rather than use more ecological options.

I've got this bag for work

Holds my laptop, charger, headphones, umbrella, mini straighteners plus all the usual crap you'd have in a bag. I've got a 35 min walk to the office and it's fine - the cross body strap comes in useful if you need 2 hands as well

What size is your laptop @birkenstocks4ever? That bag doesn't look big enough to carry much over a 13" laptop to be honest.

Oh yeah sorry mine is 14". The bag would fit a 15" but no bigger 😔

Sometimes I feel like I need a trolley! Laptop plus charger, work phone, personal phone, charger for phone, change of shoes, headphones, water bottle, notebook, pens, snack, umbrella, makeup...

Would you really need to charge your phone in one day? Change of shoes - can they be left in the office? And I don't carry a water bottle because I can get tap water in the office. The weight of the laptop is still the biggest problem.
