Like this one but better please?
I have one similar (from accessorize) but there is only 1 zipper which keeps breaking so I'm in dire need of a new one, also need it to have a laptop compartment. Please and thank you.

You could have a look at the Mia Tui website, they have something for everyone, I find.

Look at seventeen London

LionessesRules · 14/08/2022 19:50

Anything here:

I've got a Maya, and while it has a padded compartment for electronics, I dont think it would take a laptop - it's more tablet sized.

Randomdogbite · 14/08/2022 19:51

I have a Roka one, it’s great

Creepymanonagoatfarm · 14/08/2022 19:52

My adult dd has one from River Island..

polka6 · 14/08/2022 20:03

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
Mia Tui - I can't say I love, limited options too for a laptop my size (13in but with case probably about 14)

@AdamRyan These look lovely! A little too pastel-y for me though, if I dont find anything better I think I may go for one of these.

This one is gorgeous too but sadly too much ££.

I think I love the look of multiple compartments, compact, modern/minimalist look that this lawful london and stackers one seems to have, any suggestions like this at all?

I'm lusting after a classic Fjallraven Kanken lately... Not quite the same as what your examples are, but im just hurling it out there..

TBF I usually get back packs from decathlon, so... Here's one I like.. 😁

Second vote for Roka - brilliantly made, practical, tough, decent price, look good.

Angharad78 · 14/08/2022 20:08

After much searching, I found Samsonite Zaria. Pricey but brilliant!

Inside the bag is a little cable that connects to a phone charging bank.
The cable connects to the little socket on the outside.
U stock your phone cable into the bit on the outside.

Does that explain in anyway at all? I think I confused myself..

Another vote for Roka. I adore mine

MoistBandana · 14/08/2022 22:31

Those with the Roka... Do any of you have the Kanken also?

Which would be better? Cause they both look a little similar and I really like the looks of them.

I’ve bought the black Dahlia from Lawful London and love it. It’s really compact and beautiful so I use on weekends too and recently just flew with it. I used a code when I bought ‘WELCOME10’ - not sure if it still works but I got discount with it 😊

Thanks everyone. I think i prefer the sleek leather look but also striving for comfort and practicality (decent straps, fits my laptop, some other stuff and closes with ease). Wish there was one that ticks all the boxes!

@Htw132 was there any others you were considering that are similar?

OP posts:
MoistBandana · 14/08/2022 22:49

@wellingtonsandwaffles

That Nova & Koa bag is amazing. Now.. if only I had an infinite bag budget.. 😁

Htw132 · 14/08/2022 22:49

I looked at the Knomo backpacks but they’re so bulky and not really that fashionable so decided to take a chance on the Lawful London Dahlia and it’s great. It’s probably the only non-bulky, functional and stylish backpack that I’ve found tbh

polka6 · 14/08/2022 23:01

@wellingtonsandwaffles ooh that Nova and koa bag is so lovely! A little too much ££ for me though. Do you use the shoe compartment or does that feel like a gimmick?
