Affordable designer tote bags for work within a £100 to £150 budget

After years of WFH, im starting an office based job and looking for a work tote that will ideally fit my laptop and the usual essentials, but I don't want to spend a ton – maybe £100-£150.

Any solid reputable designer bag suggestions in that range, besides DKNY, Ted Baker, or MK?

I'm in my mid-30s.

Thanks!

I used a longchamp forever and it held up really well. Its also great as an underseat bag for air travel.

I love my Samsonite laptop bag. Function al and looks good! Can't see exact model on their website but take a look.

Agree a backpack may be better if walking a lot with it

The longchamp bags are so frumpy I will never understand why they are popular in this country.

I’d call those brand midrange, not designer.

Away, Longchamp, Cambridge work bag would be the ones I’d recommend in that price bracket.
