I want a really stylish (leather?) laptop rucksack. Any recommendations?

I am self employed and go into some quite swanky businesses still carrying my uni laptop back (battered, enormous - from the days of massive laptops - stained, now bit ripped..its dying a death.)

I would like a grown up version of this bag to match my wonderful job! I have no idea where to start. I love my ugly bag because it is very padded with a velcro strap inside the laptop pocket to hold it in and is really roomy and waterproof.

Has anyone seen anything like this that is also very nice looking and handbaggy? Preferably in leather? I looked at Knomo which is nice but slightly too pricey.

Thank you!

@PersephoneJames

I do have a TK maxx but mine is rubbish and never has anything nice! I'll keep popping in though.

Does anyone have any experience of Nordace?

this one looks really good although not leather I think looks quite grown up!

I have that exact bag @PersephoneJames! Bought for the same reason as you - needed a relatively smart bag, but one that looks nice but not too dull/boring. It’s really comfortable - the straps are wide, thick and padded. It’s got loads of pockets including a laptop pocket with a strap. It’s really spacious. I’m very pleased with it.

Following because I want a change from my Tumi. Love the look of the moleskin ones but their reviews are rubbish. Anyone own one for real on here?

My DH has A Rains bag for the gym, a present from DS 2 who is quite stylish. When he is carrying it he suddenly becomes Mr Cool, worth it for the effect.

Have a look at the Cambridge satchel company. I have a rucksack one and I love it.

Off the back of this thread I ordered the John Lewis Oslo leather backpack in bottle green. I've been looking for one for ages too, @PersephoneJames so thank you for starting this thread! 15" laptop too and lots of marching to and from the office... Will report back after I've collected it on Thursday!
