Nice work/uni bag

I'm going to do a post graduate course part time and would like a nice new bag I can use for Uni and also day to day in work.
So ideally should be able to carry an A4 shoulder.
Not too expensive
Im currently using the Long champ le pilage which is great but fancy something different if anyone can suggest?

I have an Elvis and Kresse classic tote bag that's the perfect size for A4 pads and a laptop; I can pack a surprising amount of junk in there and it zips up securely. It's made from recycled red firehoses so it's really hardwearing - I bought it before lockdown, have used it every day, and it still looks almost new. I get so many compliments on it.

As soon as I read the OP, I jumped on to say Rains but @Wallasey123 beat me to it! DD's back pack is now pushing 8 years old and has done her through 3 years of Uni, 4 years of work and a tonne of travelling as an overnight bag. It's the perfect combination - both smart and practical. Good luck with the return to studying!

That’s a beautiful backpack now trying to justify my need and want for it 😍
