Stylish backpack for laptop with hidden pocket

[Likesicecream]

I’m looking for a backpack that can carry a 13” laptop, preferably in its own built-in sleeve, and headphones, wallet, keys, phone - doesn’t need to carry too much else. What I’d really like is a hidden-ish pocket that is easily accessible without opening the main compartment, ideally at the back of the backpack so against my back, or maybe at the side, so it’s not too exposed on public transport. Ideally with decently comfortable straps. Smart-ish looking for work but that doesn’t look like I’m headed to the airport. Budget flexible. Any ideas? Thank you!!

Not sure it counts as entirely 'stylish' but it's had compliments!

It's got a padded laptop sleeve inside and a hidden zipped pocket at the back. It holds absolutely tons, but is quite light.

Had it for over a year now, and it still looks brand new. Am pleased with it.

Well that link didn't work!

sigh

it has a hidden pocket and is available in a selection of colours… not sure if the laptop pocket is padded but I think they’re smart for work..

I got this in the grey and was surprised to have colleagues admire it as I hadn't thought it was stylish... Apart from the hidden pocket (and the stylish-ness?) I think it ticks your boxes:

Thank you so much for the suggestions!! Tempted by the popsy but I think I’m going for the practical (but just stylish enough I’d say!) targus!!

I'm on the same hunt too after my expensive leather bag from TKMAXX gave up (after approx 6 months 😡)

I have actually been looking at baby change bags but I can't decide if they look to obviously like a baby change bag? This one looks stylish (in my unstylish opinion) and has the storage space I need without being too expensive.

Nordace Sienna has a hidden pocket

This could actually be a genius solution!! Not quite sure what I'd put in the dummy pouch though, or how I would use the changing mat but otherwise I really like this idea

Bugger...! I just thought... this will now show up on my browsing history and husband will panic about why I'm looking at changing bags 😂

I love my Rains backpack. It's a lovely profile, waterproof and stores so much stuff.

Sorry posted too soon, the Rains one has the secret wee zipped pocket that you can access while wearing it that I pop my keys, pass phone etc

I'm not doing well here, this is the one I have!
