KenjiOgiwara Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I'm looking for a rather light weight thin bag/brief to use for work and travel. Prefer non-leather. Ideally no more than 2-3 inches deep. Less is more. Classy casual is the idea. Need to fit a 13,3 inch tablet. Under £ 500. I quite like Filson and Tumi, but they are either too big (Filson 16 x 12 inches) or Tumi who have ruined their old product line. Anyone have suggestions?

Seat68 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have the Troop TRP0371 Messenger bag. If you are OK with a canvas bag. I have 2 laptops as I work for 2 areas of the business and it accommodates both of them without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think messenger bags are a bit too big for me. Smaller the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I quite like my Knomo laptop bag. Very good quality. For travel, I personally have no problem looking like a school boy and rocking a stylish backpack. I have a business-friendly £120-ish Samsonite that fits neatly under the airplane seat in front of you (remember airplanes?) and I use everyday for work.

limpid Posted February 5, 2021 Administrator Share Posted February 5, 2021 I used to use this back when a day bag was something that people did: https://www.jack-wolfskin.co.uk/trt-field-bag/2007051-6350.html (mine is many years old). This is the best short trip bag I've ever owned https://www.arcido.com/products/oxna I've got a pretty good overnight bag from Diesel, but there is nothing like it on their web site.

KenjiOgiwara Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Think I might order a Filson. https://www.filson.com/eu/luggage-and-bags/briefcases-and-computer-bags/ballistic-nylon-dryden-briefcase.html#sku=20049878-fco-005897531 Still a bit too big for my liking, but it seems finding a smaller type, non leather, which looks smart casual ish, is too much to ask for. This looks alright as well: https://topodesigns.com/products/commuter-briefcase?variant=6318952961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
