[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm changing careers and want to invest in a quality leather tote that will last me many years. Budget is up to $750. Here's what I've been looking at. Thoughts? The bag needs to be able to hold two 13" laptops (I'm in grad school and need one for school and one for work) and their cords, a textbook or two, a couple notebooks, water bottle, etc. I need to be able to wear it over my shoulder but I don't have to walk far, so OK if it's a bit heavy. I like caramel/British tan colors, but am open to other options. Just don't really want black. Interior organization is a plus, but not a must. I can always add in my own laptop sleeves, pouches, etc. to organize stuff.

Cuyana system tote: https://cuyana.com/products/system-tote-16-inch-v2?variant=46713890865467 - would add on the laptop pouch and a strap, I think?
Cuyana easy tote: https://cuyana.com/products/classic-easy-tote?variant=44388555063611 - would add on the insert and maybe a pouch?
Clare V Le Zip Sac: https://www.clarev.com/collections/totes/products/le-zip-sac-loden-rustic-w-cotton-webbing -- maybe a little too casual?
Clare V La Tropezienne: https://www.clarev.com/collections/totes/products/la-tropezienne-8-miel - LOVE this but the handles look too short?
Il Bisonte: https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/il-bisonte-talamone-leather-tote-0400017005463.html - seems almost perfect, does anyone know this brand? 
Carl Friedrik Ashby: https://www.carlfriedrik.com/products/ashby-zipped-leather-tote?colour=cognac&lining=grey - this was rec'd by Wirecutter and I really like it, just sad that it's not shipping for several weeks

Any other suggestions? I've looked at Nordstrom, Coach, Saks, Lo & Sons, etc.

I'd go to a market with leather craftsmen and buy a similar looking bag without a logo that no one else has.
