Backpack to fit everything in!

7 replies

Sunsetsandcocktails · 08/01/2025 14:06

Does anyone have any recommendations for a backpack that would fit the following in please?

-laptop/headset
-clothes (skirt, top, underwear, tights and jumpers in winter)
-breakfast Tupperware
-lunch Tupperware
-phone/money/keys
-wash bag
-makeup bag
-gym towel (have a micro fibre thin/lightweight one)

Currently commute to work/the gym 3 x a week and use a large backpack to carry my work laptop, phone/money/keys, breakfast and lunch stuff but need a separate gym bag for the clothes I wear that day to change into, a towel, wash stuff and makeup.

feel like I’m asking the impossible as most people I know either gym after work or buy their lunches etc so don’t need to take as much to work!

Depends how stylish you're looking for, I have something like this for short business travel and it is amazing, would be perfect for what you're asking - search cabin backpack

1 bag to fit all that is going to be a big bag?

Take a look at the brand "TomToc" on Amazon, they're a budget friendly brand but have a decent reputation for quality.

Or Google:
"Osprey Transporter"
"Osprey 26+6"

For a couple idea of larger bags.

If you commute and worry about pickpockets and security etc. "PacSafe" maybe more of an idea.

You mean like a small wheel-along case you can take on a plane?

I have a 20 litre osprey which i use for when I need to travel for work.

It contains:
Clothes for work including shoes (i stuff them with clean underwear so they take up less room)
Makeup/toiletries
Laptop, charger and A4 notepad
Gym wear (vest top, bra, pants, shorts, socks)
Phone charger, headphones
Pyjamas
A microfiber towel

So pretty much the same as you

However tupperware takes a surprising amount of room & i always have to carry that separately in a tote bag

You'd be looking at a 30 litre at least which is pretty big.

No they don't have wheels @Thursdaygirl but they carry loads of stuff!

Thank you all! Currently stuck on a delayed train being weighed down by all my bags haha but will have a look at all these options later 😊

I have a Jansport big backpack... come in different size options. I have the "student" edition, so 2 giant compartments, plus, 2 smaller ones. I can even use it for travelling for a 3-4 day trip.
