Hi all! I recently fell in love with the 16 medium, and started looking at other Celine models. What do you use to carry your laptop/work items? I’m worried the 16 won’t be big enough.

Thanks I’m advance!
 
I use my medium cabas phantom as a work and laptop bag. It’s very light for a leather bag.

I also have the small cabas phantom but it’s a bit too small for a work tote for me. But love it for days I have less to carry.
Thanks for the advice! I'm also interested in getting the cabas phantom but seeing that the straps lean on the thinner side, would you mind sharing whether the straps feel comfortable when the bag is full/heavy please? Do they look very strained to the point you worry about the stitching? This is a big concern of mine when it comes to tote bags :facepalm:

Thank you!

I find the straps very comfortable. I worry a bit too about the straps stretching but I have not experienced this. I have been using the medium as a work tote for about 10 months. My laptop is a 13 inch Dell ultra book so it’s not too heavy. I have had the small a few years but don’t carry too much in it.

I just got the cabas phantom small for work/ travel and absolutely love it!! Straps are sturdy and bag is light. I find small is enough to carry laptop, water bottle and so much more. Personally I feel a little “dwarfed” by the medium and I’m 5 ft 5.

I did a lot of research and looked at LV onthego, Dior book tote, Celine 16 etc. in person before deciding on the phantom. Best purchase ever! Pic on left shows small taupe while the right is medium black. Hope it helps!

I’m looking at Celine bags for work too. Did any of you consider the mini belt bag? It seems to fit a MacBook Air and I love the structured look a tad bit more than the tote. Any feedback on that for work and travel?
