    Hey,

    Wondering if anyone can help out here.
    I'm in the market for a new bag as above.

    Musts:

    1. Brown leather, tan or dark, doesn't matter.
    2. Sleeve for a laptop
    3. As plain as possible on the outside :)
    4. Couple of internal pouches/zipped sections.

    I've seen one in Debenhams in the mens section but am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for other places to look?

    This one is on sale at the moment, you'd have to check regarding laptop size though.

    I got one from Scaramanga a few years ago and love it. Nice quality leather and it has aged well.

    Thanks everyone, dropped into Clarks today on the way home and they had this on sale for €50, tried the laptop for size and it was perfect.

    Absolutely delighted with it, much smaller than my current bag but has everything I was looking for :)

    Appreciate all the suggestions!

    Nice one, I bought that one online using parcel motel, didn't think to check the bricks and mortar but that is a very good price you got!

    Yeah I was delighted as it wasn't on their site here, so popped into O'Connell St branch in Dublin this evening, and lo and behold it was there. I wanted to check the fit of my laptop before buying :)

    It's lovely, you'll love it, has loads of zipped pockets too for "stuff", and the flap is lined with a suedey material on the inside.

    It's actually cheaper here at the euro price than the sterling price, I was a bit gobsmacked when I saw that :)
