Briefcase Suggestions?

Okay, I need a good, not ugly, briefcase/laptop case.

I always carry my laptop, a spare battery, a full size Franklin Covey planner, a portfolio, and usually assorted files and publications.

Any suggestions appreciated~I'm sick of carrying 3 bags daily!

I suggest a halliburton briefcase with numerous security measures. Fingerprint scan, a security code that resets after each use...I'm quite partial to these on my travels. Can't tell you how many times they've saved my rear.

I have a nice diane von furstenberg laptop bag. I got it at marshalls though, so I can't give any suggestions on where to find it. Target had a isaac mizrahi one that i was considering too. i used to have a nine west one, but since i got a larger lap top i had to get the diane von furstenberg one.

I have a coach briefcase and I love it. Most of them would fit a laptop and i believe they might even have a specific briefcase with a section for a laptop. You should check the website (coach.com).

www.timbuk2.com I dunno if you were looking for something more "professional" but EVERYONE here in SF has these bags... and you can customize them.

How about the Kate Spade messenger bag? I know a lot of people use that as a laptop bag.

This is GP's recommended solution. I put my laptop in a sleeve for extra protection.

I know this will come as a shock, but I'm actually kinda over Vera. I don't think I've bought a new one in over a year.

I have a KS messenger, and it's not big enough for all of my stuff. I usually carry my laptop bag (which is fug), a huge messenger, plus a purse. I really like the Coach briefcases, but I don't know if that's in the budget now. I found a Dooney I like, but not sure if I like it ENOUGH.

Gah. It's so hard to be a girl

ebags.com, my friend. They have TONS of options. A few years ago, when I searched on there for "women's laptop cases", there were like 6, and now, there are hundreds. I just got my mom the KC reaction laptop case for Hannukah, and she loves it.

I use the black microfiber one- not too "vera" looking so it's still professional. eBags is also awesome, as DeltaBetaBaby mentioned - and I think you can even search by laptop on there to make sure it will fit.

If I was your mom I would put you up for adoption because you purchased a KC reaction anything.

I found Gina B.'s line of laptop bags through Ebags.com. I think they are really cute. Since I dont have a laptop (or a laptop bag), I cant speak on quality but it claims to be 100% genuine leather.

http://ginabinternational.com/capriccio-black.html - Here is the link to the company's webste - the Capriccio, which is my favorite bag.

Ebags.com sells the bags for $225 which is 10% less than the designer's site lists. Here is that link as well - http://www.ebags.com/gina_b/capricci...?modelid=85155

I like Hobo International's laptop bags. You can find them at department stores like Dillards, Macys, etc. I've even seen the on occassion at TJMaxx too.

Here are my two favorites..
