I "need" a new tote for work. It needs to have room inside for a laptop (must be padded) and then room around it for files/books/etc.
I've looked at Michael Kors and Coach (we have an outlet mall close) and didn't find anything that would work. They both had really cute totes, but no padded pocket. I don't want to put the laptop in a sleeve and then put it in the tote because I need to pack it and unpack it several times a day.
Suggestions?

When my dd needed a bag like this, I made it for her. We didn't quite have your budget though. How about this one: Graceship yellow leather |

I really like the Sherphani bags. I bought my Vita Large Tote from Zappos, and my next three from 6PM. Large Commuter Messenger, Nau Vertical Messenger, and Lima Small Slim Crossbody a month or so later. The prices at 6PM were so good because those bags were being discontinued. The Vita has places on the ends for me to keep a water bottle within easy reach, something I find necessary during the summer, so I really, really like this feature. It also has a pocket inside that perfectly holds my iPad. The Commuter Messenger might hold my 17" MacBook Pro, but it would be tight. It has some inside padding, but I'd probably put it in a sleeve, just in case. The Vertical Messenger also has some padding inside, and it could definitely carry my iPad and then some. I really like the look of it, and the extra handles at the top, in case you don't want to wear it, are nice. Any of the 3 would make a great laptop bag. They are all very professional looking without being as stiff as a traditional briefcase. I bought the Nau thinking that DH could use it when he needs to carry more than just his keys and wallet on site, but he looked at me like I was crazy when he saw it. Apparently the light teal on it would make it too "murse" looking for him. Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep it for myself. I have the Lima set up as my grab fast purse for when I'm not taking my iPad; I don't wear it cross body, though. I just sling it on my shoulder. Marcy |

Well darn. Maybe you need to learn how to sew.  A computer bag is just a bunch of rectangles after all. And also, I need to hie myself to a coach outlet. |
