Looking for a smart 17” Laptop Backpack/Bag

[DarlingCoffee]

Can anyone help me? I’m looking for a decent ladies backpack / bag for my obscenely large company laptop for when I return to the office in London. Knomo are all too small sadly but I would like that kind of look, something fairly classic and corporate but easy and hard wearing enough to lug around given I will be commuting and doing a fair bit of walking. Budget is under £200. Thank you in advance wise mumsnetters!

Loads on Amazon

Nordace has some smart looking backpacks. Not sure they go up to 17" but might be worth a look...

@DarlingCoffee
Are you sure about Samsonite?
Each backpack comes in various sizes on their website...
I'm a large screened laptop owner on a similar mission now return to office looms....
Can't decide whether I want to go a bit luxe or whether Cath Kidston or Mia Tui will do....

Thanks @blodynmawr55 I see that they do but I just don’t like that particular style of bag. Was hoping for something with a bit more elegance and luxury.

So far in case anyone else is interested (!) I have identified three that are…just okay

I have a Briggs & Riley backpack for my laptop, which is a 15.6", but there is plenty of room around it. They might be worth a look. I think John Lewis stock some of their bags.

Your company should give you a smaller laptop so you can get a lovely Knomo backpack.

Have you tried your laptop out in a knomo? I have the largest of their bags which is officially for 15”6 i think, and my 16” fits easily in the laptop element, inside a laptop sleeve that is too big for it, with a bit of room to spare. I expected it to be a squeeze but there’s room to spare. I wonder if a 17”
Might fit. If you love them might be worth ordering and trying but being prepared to return?

Thanks @Isthisjustnormal that’s a good idea I might just try that if the returns aren’t too arduous.

Haha @OneMillionSteps I think there’s no chance of that unfortunately. But I have told the IT team they need to think about us lugging our laptops in when they buy them in future!
