Laptop handbag

Im looking for a really nice one. I don't really know anything about bag brands.
I need a laptop bag for work that I can get my lunch into, my laptop, general handbag contents and I'd love some suggestions for some nice brands up to about £200.
Any suggestions welcome.

Great that gives me some names to look at. Im currently lugging several bags into work or a rucksack and I look like Im off on a trecking holiday. Not a good image for smart clothing 😁

I just bought a beautiful brown suede one from Parfois for £40. Loads of room and compartments for everything. I spent ages trawling websites as I was quite specific on what I wanted structured, large handles, london proof, big but not huge and stylish. It arrived yesterday and it's perfect.

M&S have a suede one that’s been recommended in a lot of the weekend supplements for around that price. Looks large enough for a laptop.

There's quite a few different ones under the laptop bag section. Go off the bag measurements though rather than the fits 13inch laptop guidance, which it states on them all. My laptop is bigger than 13inch and it still fits with ample room.

I’ve got a Bellroy Tokyo tote which might work. Mine is the smaller one as I’m a short arse! https://bellroy.com/products/tokyo-tote?color=everglade&material=baida_nylon&size=standard#slide-0

This is just the size I need for work. It looks like I could get it all in there.

Among many bags, I have one similar to this. I only use it if I dont have to travel far through because the shoulder strap is a bit thin for my liking. (Day to day I tend to use a rucksack)

Thats gorgeous!!!

Another one with a Nordace / I have a backpack but it looks quite smart.
