Find me a tote bag for work!

[Floofydawg]

Currently using a LV Graceful which I'm looking to sell as I only go into the office about once a month and it seems like a huge waste of money to have it sitting there for such little use. Looking for something of a similar size which will fit an iPad plus all of the usual bits and pieces. Would like lower end designer, budget up to £150. I can remember loads of handbag brands being mentioned on here before but now I can't remember any of them!

Cos quilted oversized bag could work. Any big pillow bag is a decent choice for not much money.

Osprey have good value work bags too if you went leather. Sale is on.,

What are all the unique brands that everyone always recommends on here though? Am having a menopause brain fart.

Matt and Nat?

No idea. Do you want quirky?

I have a Coach tote. it's been used for work 5 days a week for the last 6 months and not one mark on it. It's the same shape as an LV neverful, not leather, holding up really well. I paid £240 for a personal shopper to buy it at Bicester, slightly over budget, I love it and think it's well worth it.

No, quite traditional. Leather

DeMellier? They have some lovely leather bags

Ah yes, that's one of the ones I had in mind.

Try Marc Jacobs. I use a fabric tote as my laptop bag and it's been fantastic. Mine was over your budget but some of them are cheaper. It has worn very well and holds loads.

Expensive but I bought a By Banoo briefcase and I love it for work (my LV neverfull was stolen but used that everyday before and couldn’t afford another). Really stylish, leather and nicely sized

Polene?

Ahhhhh now I want the De Melier tote but it's over budget.

Wolf and Badger have some nice ones if you put leather tote into the search box. Also worth a look at Ganni

@Floofydawg Lots of leather bags won’t be in your budget. Only high street. DeMellier are never £150.

Strathberry have nice totes but similar price to Demellier.

I obviously had unrealistic expectations!

Pom Pom London

I’ve just bought this and am very pleased with it so far. Takes my MacBook, 2 phones, credit card etc and other usual bits and pieces and also managed to squeeze in a pair of shoes.

Or a good old Longchamp?

Don’t we all!

If you could up the budget, a Dragon Diffusion would be possible.

Not keen on woven bags, really want leather. Was hoping to sell the LV, save a bit and replace with something cheaper. Lots of options though - thanks.

Can't believe how expensive Kate Spade is now - they used to be cheap!

There are Kate Spade, Love Moschimo and similar on TK Maxx in your price range
