Recommend nice budget bag for work

[Anonymous]

I need a bag that can fit a laptop that I can keep in the office. I commute with a canvass tote that fits a lot and is light, but need something nicer looking once I am in office to carry laptop to meetings.

Please could you recommend bag that can fit a laptop and that I could keep in the office for occasional use, preferably nothing too expensive but professional looking. Thanks!

Budget?
Plenty of people here will consider anything under 1k "not too expensive."

You can't ... carry your laptop by hand through the hallway from your office to a conference room?

Quince is good for things that look professional but don't break the bank. Both of these will fit a 13" laptop.

What's your budget?

I've seen some really nice bags mixed in at TJ Maxx and Marshalls lately.

NP- I came here to recommend the Quince triple compartment tote above. It is so classical, sturdy and well made. I had a much more expensive YSL tote that I carried to work before the handles started breaking. The Quince one has better craftsmanship than my previous YSL at a fraction of the cost.

Add Nordstrom Rack to the list of places to go to in person. They often have good bags.

I got a big leather cuyana tote from Poshmark and it's great.

I love the first one, but hate the metal strap. Second one is nice too. I've never heard of Quince.
