Doctor's bags - yay or nay?

I have a bit of a doctor's bag obsession - I currently have three and am looking to buy another one in a medium sort of size for everyday (I already have a huge overnight one, a large one and a teenytiny eveningy one). They suit me because they're deceptively spacious (large broad bottom just like me), easy access and I love the vintage style of them. Also easy to wear crossbody which is essential for me.

My question is, are they considered stylish? Or should I be looking elsewhere for my next purchase? My style is sort of goth lite/vintage (my username is a pretty good clue as to the look I like).

If anyone has any suggestions for a new bag which fits the bill (up to about £400) hit me with it. Or, y'know, another doctor's bag Grin

This is the one I'm considering in black/large. I bought this one last year and it's beautiful but just a little too big/heavy for every day.

No idea if they are fashionable but I like them. Especially if they are quite squashy.

I'm the wrong person to ask if they are stylish but I think they are cute so if you like them, knock yourself out!

I'd like one of these doctors bags

Ooh, cute! I also like a retro feel and I've never seen these before so now of course I want one. Sorry that's no help to you, but here's a bump for you!

Wow I love the one you have, in orange especially. I’m not a bag person though and could never spend that kind of money on one but I understand your thing about them, they are gorgeous!!

Without sounding rude if you are a goth why do you care if they are in fashion? As long as it suits what you are wearing that's great

Do you like Vivienne Westwood? Just thinking it might fit with your style?

This is on sale at the moment.
