Looking for a black tote with some sort of fun lining... any suggestions?

[SweetHomeNC]

Hi there!!

I’m on the hunt for a new bag for work and I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I’d really like a black structured tote with some sort of colorful lining to give it a little hint of fun instead of just all over black. The bag needs to be big enough to fit my 14-once laptop and iPad. Any suggestions?

You should look into Massaccesi Handbags, which is an Italian company that makes customised bags. They definitely have larger tote styles that can fit a 14-in laptop etc, and you can choose your leather (I would recommend their Pompei leather which stays pretty structured), lining (tonnes of fun colours to choose from!), hardware, and other possible customisations too (eg strap/handle drop, handle/strap style, additional messenger strap, laptop sleeve, additional exterior/interior pockets -- it's a long list of what can be customised!)

The owner, Marco Massaccesi, is very helpful and great at addressing any queries you may have, and making recommendations to suit your needs, so you should feel free to email him (address is on their website). There's a very active thread in this subforum too, where you can do more research or get more views/feedback from the ladies there. Hope this helps!

I second the Massaccesi idea so you can design your own for a really reasonable price. Just tell him what you are looking for and he will make it for you. Excellent quality.
