Great work bag

[belavi]

So I am looking for a great work bag, something large enough to perhaps fit a small laptop. I saw the Fendi Peekaboo Essential and loved it. It's so lovely in person, much better than the pictures online. But there is no way I am spending $7k on a bag. Do you have any favourites?

I just bought the Max Mara Whitney in large and love it. It looks stunning in person! The leather is very rich. It has a middle zip compartment for organization and security. It fits my laptop. And it's lined in a beautiful red suede but is still very light weight. Plus it looks so classy when worn. It's around $1500 ish new.
It comes in a variety of colors from black to cream to burgundy to green, etc.

Longchamp Large Penelope is gorgeous and roomy, reasonably priced and under the radar. You don't see it around too much either.

If you can find any Gucci Swing totes in outlets since they are now discontinued, they are the perfect work bag.

I like the Foley Corinna Mid City for lower price and for higher the Hermès Garden Party.

I'm also on the hunt for an appropriate work bag. I've recently lost a folder of documents that I was holding separately (was caught up in a shoe sale) so I really want to be able to fit A4 in a bag!

Requirements:
- zip
- lightweight
- ideally has a long strap / can be worn on the shoulder
- can fit A4

I used to use a Givenchy Antigona (too heavy), a Longchamp (not enough structure) and currently am carrying a Saint

It would really help to know what your price range is. Are we talking $100-$300, or are you willing to spend $1000-$2000? All of these are well below $7000 so a little more info on pricing is needed. Also, do you want canvas/leather, gold/silver hardware, do you require a zip closure or is an open tote okay, etc?

What are the dimensions of an A4? I can't remember.

I have a Coach Market Tote and it works great for work! It keeps its structure and has minimal branding. Mine has black hardware and they switch it up often. The lining is nice too.

I think the Coach Rogue Brief would be a good option for a work bag if you are carrying a lot of documents. It's far cheaper than $7k ($695), is structured and is made of very sturdy leather. You can hand carry it and it has a shoulder strap. If i had a job that required me to carry documents, this would be a viable option imho

Something below $1500, but I’m quite flexible. I am also quite flexible on the design and material. Would like to know what else is out there. Something similar on aesthetics to the Fendi bag would be good though.

I couldn't see the attachment but I found it through a search on the coach website. I really like that one. http://www.coach.com/coach-rogue-brief-in-glovetanned-pebble-leather/11104.html It looks even better on the model here.

I love both of those suggestions. I was actually looking at the Foley Corinna Mid City and I might still get it even if I get something else also. The Garden Party is a great one too, though the prices makes me pause a bit.
