Which handbag?

I cycle to work and then decant my laptop etc. into a bag, which is now scruffy and falling apart. Which bag should I replace it with? I work on a campus so carry it about with me. I've got a £100 voucher so looking at around that price mark. They are all big enough to carry a laptop and other stuff needed for the day.

Are you only looking at totes? I do similar but tend not to decant! So I've been looking for decent looking backpacks/laptop bags

I use a shopping bag RN. I have a capacious pannier into which I put everything, change of clothes etc. I don't ride with a back pack on.

I’d go with the first one.

I prefer them in the opposite order, so green, orange, brown. However the first one is the most flexible.

KnickerlessParsons · 16/09/2022 17:40

First one.

I love the orange one

KylieCharlene · 16/09/2022 17:41

The brown is lovely.
I don't like the green one and unsure about the orange.

jumpingwithjoy · 16/09/2022 17:44

The orange one is cool

Maireas · 16/09/2022 17:49

The first one is a little dull.
Go orange! I really like it, where's it from?

raffegiraffe · 16/09/2022 18:14

I like the green one best

AndSoFinally · 16/09/2022 19:33

Which one has the most internal pockets or seperate spaces? Get that one

ToooOldForThis · 16/09/2022 19:33

Aaah I see...I had been looking at backpacks which look nice enough to not just be for cycling, if that makes sense. Also those ortlieb panniers that turn into rucksacks! But then you'd be carrying too much stuff around

ToooOldForThis · 16/09/2022 19:34

I like the orange one!

HappyHoppyHippo · 16/09/2022 19:42

Love the orange one

ShopoholicIn · 16/09/2022 21:32

First one

HiGunny · 16/09/2022 21:37

1st or 2nd, depends whether you want to go for classic or fun! I like the orange one personally, it's unusual.

SomethingFast · 16/09/2022 21:39

Orange, green, brown

IloveJudgeJudy · 16/09/2022 21:52

First one, definitely 💯

rocketfromthecrypt · 16/09/2022 21:54

Definitely the first one!

ChipsRoastOrBoiled · 17/09/2022 00:12

I love the orange one. The shape is great and I love the external pockets/pouches.

desperatehousewife2 · 17/09/2022 00:14

Orange one, I love it

The orange one seems to be winning... I love it too.

devildeepbluesea · 17/09/2022 10:29

Orange!

LadyOfTheCanyon · 17/09/2022 10:36

Orange for me too. It's on the right side of quirky. The first is ubiquitous and the third is boring ( sorry!)
