Feminine laptop bags: women's laptop bags that are functional and stylish
Functionally chic women’s laptop bags are hard to come by. One of my biggest complaints, and I’ve heard this from my friends too, is finding a women’s laptop bag that’s both feminine and functional. Most business women don’t want to carry around a pink briefcase with flowers on it, or lug around a bag meant for a 6ft tall man. And why does it seem that most women’s laptop cases don’t have shoulder support? Men have so many cool options; they can go, techy or sophisticated, casual or urban. All they have to do is walk into a store and find a plethora of laptop bags to choose from.
I have gone on a search and found some pretty good options. My favorite is the bag by Hayden Harnett. It’s not stiff like a lot of the laptop bags for women that I’ve seen, and it has a long adjustable shoulder strap.
MARC BY MARC JACOBS Lovely Behati Tote -$458
This supple leather tote is punctuated by bold, logo-etched rivets and soft pleating detail. Menswear-inspired pinstriped cotton twill lines the interior but still looks feminine. The top zip closure keeps your laptop and papers secure.
Celine Springbok Large Tote - $1,750
Yes, it’s more than a bit spendy for a briefcase, but this bag screams luxury. Calf hair with smooth leather trim and an adjustable and removable flat leather shoulder strap with buckles, along with an interior leather-trimmed cell phone pocket, patch pocket, and zipped pocket are the perfect combination of opulence and function.
Hayden-Harnett Catalina Slouchy Laptop Brief three colors available) - $473
Functional for an every-day workbag but not lacking in style. Adjust the strap to wear it across your body, or carry it by its padded handles. With a zippered top, and padded compartment, it keeps your stuff safe while sporting exterior slit and turnlock closure pockets for quick access.
Penelope Business Tote - $199
Who would've thought a business/laptop tote could be so stylish and so practical? Loaded with interior pockets, a plush notebook computer compartment, and sturdy brass hardware, the Penelope tote is ready for the most rigorous Road Warrior treatment. But, thanks to its graceful dome and the embossed crocodile pattern on its soft leather exterior, only you will know it's more than a chic handbag.
The Ansley bag -$299
The Ansley Bag in Fawn combines canvas and leather for a stylish and practical addition to your bag collection (except this one pulls double duty as a laptop bag). With a coordinating laptop sleeve that holds a 15 ½” laptop, the Ansley bag is scaled to hold other necessities such as your wallet, keys and cell phone, you won’t want to leave home without it.
