Help! I need and interview bag and shoes!

[Eeve]

Hi all, I have a job interview next wednesday. I've got a skirt suit (black) sorted, but I need a bag. Something that can hold a folder, ideally! Don't want to spend more than £100 on it, ideally. Any ideas?

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever noticed a bag when interviewing.
A longchamp de pliage would do the job, looks smart and classic but easy to carry. I know they are very common but they are so flipping useful so a good investment piece.

TK Maxx is good for bags.

@Chocolatecoatedkettlebell yes I see your point - but I want to bring notes with me etc (as I will get there early!) abs even if I didn't I need my keys, phone etc etc

Amazon do a great le pliage knock off , I have a le pliage but you wouldn't know the difference unless you really got up close, the Amazon one is about 20 pounds.

River island have lovely interview bags. Would you buy a Ted Baker patent shopper bag? Great for folders!

I was also going to suggest the longchamp. Also good for holidays for the airport too and going away. So a good investment. Good luck!

I'm not sure what an 'interview bag' is but I use an old shopping trolley that I nicked from ASDA (Derek removed the incriminating handle).
It's quite voluminous and so I can can keep all my Project Files and a spare pair of clothes in it.
They only cost a pound. I don't know why everyone hasn't got one?

(still looking gor a job though...and I polished me trolley )

I have an amazing le pliage knock off from eBay. I also have a real one and now I don’t know which the fake is! I interview a lot and have never noticed someone’s bag - don’t get a £100!

Does anyone have a link to the le P dupe??

@Eeve

Does anyone have a link to the le P dupe??

This one looks close enough...

That's the one I've got and it's very good and durable and just as good quality.

Thank you!

Thought I'd update! I got this and I'm in love with it!!

This but in black

Perhaps a bit pricey but some cheaper under £100 and some on discount. I love these bags- built for business, actually practicable rather than just showy, but with a touch of feminity about them

I got the job! Must have been the bag 😉

Well done.

Congratulations!

Ha ha congratulations! The bag will have given you confidence.

Thanks! Glad I invested 😋
