Which handbag?

Paq · 16/09/2022 14:49

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.

I like the shape of the orange but not the colour, that would go with nothing I owned.

If I had to pick it would be the third (green) bag but again I'd prefer a different colour in an ideal world, though don't dislike the green.

Get what calls out to you the most OP, if they're all suitable!

I love the orange! Where's it from?

It's a Jasper Conran bag, on the John Lewis website

I'd be concerned the straps all don't look too hardy on those to carry around a laptop etc?

Paq · 17/09/2022 19:21

Agree @CTPT, I don't want it falling apart within months...

@Paq what about something like this? Although I'm not sure where your voucher is from so may not be on there and you'd have to chip in the extra.. the straps look more sturdy though.

That Osprey one is lovely. I am sorely tempted to buy one, even though I can't really justify a new bag right now!

Rebelmcstreettuff · 18/09/2022 07:49

Orange is lovely,but the sturdy strap on the 3rd one looks a winner.

Bordercolliesarebest1 · 18/09/2022 07:53

The Orange one is really nice. A really bright pop of colour. I would definitely go with that one.

And now we all want an orange bag......... (opens up JL site)

crossstitchingnana · 18/09/2022 08:51

The brown one is dull. I like the green one.

YumYummy · 18/09/2022 11:51

The straps in the first two look a bit thin.

Appleblum · 18/09/2022 13:57

First one.

Mimi Berry has some lovely totes in the sale.

Paq · 18/09/2022 18:46

@shewhomustbeEbayed (great username) nice bag but to me a tote is something that has shoulder straps. I like carrying a bag on my shoulder.

Have you decided Paq?

Orange, but I love orange leather

I thought all the straps looked quite thin, I have a fear of sore straps! I do overload my bags probably though

Do you like red?
