I may be the only one who actually like Kate Spade here ;). I've amassed quite a collection of KS over the years, but go mostly for her more unusual things - not the standard nylon line (although at one point I did have the Claire bag and backpack, and still own a messenger bag). I personally think that the line has a very retro/mod sensibility that is also classic (I mean, take a look at the way she is photographed and dressed!). She has a few nylon totes geared towards laptops (although it may be plain and boring), and I find the them to be very durable. I'm not entirely sure about the canvas bags. If you decide to go with her line, I'd recommend either leather or nylon.

I actually just bought - and returned - a Kate Spade bag, it was a tote (Kate Spade Shopper) and it was really big. Aside from that, the opening was really narrow so it would be hard to get things in it (especially for school). It was funny because when I went to return it, the girl behind me was returning the exact same bag...

I have a purple Kate Spade bucket bag which I ADORE. The suede is gorgeous and even the inside is suede lined. Then again I have a nylon tote which annoys the hell out of me. I can never find anything in it and the pointy corners bounce off my arms.

Here's a pic except mine is a bright true purple.

I am having a great experience with my leather KS bag, and I'm rough on my bags. It's a green leather bag, and the leather and stiching were and have continued to be of impeccable quality . Clearly a lot of workmanship went into it. I like her nylon bags bags as well, when I'm roughing it :amuse: or lugging law books.

I have kate spade bags but haven't been using them long. So far I love them but I wouldn't know which one would be suitable for a laptop. I love the evening bags especially but I also have pieces from the nylon collection. The SAM bag is a bit awkward for me to use but I got tons of compliments on it. A laptop won't fit in there though. I don't know if she makes laptop bags at all. If she does, that might work.

I have the Kate Spade medium nylon babybag/tote that is almost indestructable. It's large enough to hold a laptop, books, and a water bottle. I love this bag I will probably never sell it. Here's a picture:

I either really like Kate Spade's designs, or I don't. I bought a blue bag on eBay but sold it about a month later. I only carried it for about a week. It was cute, but it just wasn't my style after all.

I've been using one of Kate Spade's nylon diaper bags (in navy) as a briefcase/laptop case. I can fit alot in it and it's held up well. Just a little scuffing on the corners. The side pockets (used for bottles by moms) are pretty handy for keys, cell, etc.
