The perfect work bag

4 replies

I'm on the hunt for the perfect work bag and thought you'd be the perfect people to ask.

It needs to fit a 13inch laptop, work for the commute on the tube (a zip top helps with this), and look fairly smart. I prefer a lovely soft leather but don't mind on brand or hardware colour. Budget is a flexible as I will almost certainly be buying second hand, prepared to spend more for something that will last (my last one was £300ish but I've got a bigger laptop now).

Thanks all for your help 🙌

Bumping this for the evening crowd.

I like Nordace- they have a few different totes that fit a laptop but not leather. Will stick around to see other recommendations, love a new bag!!

Thank you! So tricky isn't it? I have been so tempted to go up to a few people on the tube to ask where theirs is from but decided maybe too weird

A pre loved Prada Galleria would fit the bill.
