Where to find a nice bag for my laptop?

Cianos

Hey,
I'm looking for a smart looking bag to bring my laptop to meetings in.

I've been hoping for something in between a briefcase and a messenger bag, ie not too stiff but not too studenty either.

Maybe something along the lines of this;



Any ideas where I could get a bag like it in Dublin? I've looked in Urban Outfitters and they just have schoolbag type bags, I've looked around a few other shops and no joy.

Thanks!

I was recently grappling with this. Wanted a smart bag.

Knomo.co.uk have a great selection and probably would have just what you are looking for. I wasn't as keen on the women's bags I saw but the men's messenger bags look nice. http://www.knomobags.com/eu/bungo-messenger-leather-brown-17-laptop-bag.html/

I ended up buying this one below. It attaches onto a carryon wheelie bag which was a bonus for me. Its a very sturdy bag. Is well padded for laptop etc.

TK Maxx can have a good selection of bags, depending on the stock they have in store. Ted Baker also do nice messenger-type bags.

I got a really nice Reebok branded black canvas laptop bag in TK Maxx with the appropriate fitted compartment for the laptop. It's very casual and has lots of dividing zip up compartments so I've often used it for other than carrying my laptop.

River Island's men's bag section have great bags, there's some that'd be perfect for you and you can obviously get them loads of places in Dublin.

This is definitely along the lines of what I'm looking for, pity it's nearly 300 euro though

I've tried TK Maxx but the selection wasn't great, and most of the place around Dublin don't have anything close to what I'm looking for. It seems to be either a heavily branded man-bag, or a very formal looking briefcase, but nothing in between!

300 euro is a reasonable price for a well made durable leather bag. You should have it for years. Save up for it!

(I hummed and hawed over my one for six months before I bought it)
