Helloooo everyone, thanks so much for your suggestions. With your advice I avoided making the mistake of getting a bayswater (i actually absolutely love the classic look of it) as it would be too heavy for a work bag, and started exploring the other designs. I ended up with a belted bayswater (and it fit my laptop)! I had to find it secondhand, but it's in an absolutely pristine condition.. Again, thank you all for sharing your wisdom!
A picture of it here (it is in the colour called "light salmon"?), looks a bit darker here probably b/c of the lighting but it's a nude salmon beige/pink? It comes with a long strap that I've kept in the bag itself but i'm happy as a first-time mulberry owner!
