5 classy leather bags that’ll fit your laptop

Space or style? When it comes to buying a bag for work, it’s often either one or the other. With these five models, you no longer have to make any compromises.
Function over form tends to be the case for most bags people use for work or uni. Who cares about making a fashion statement when you can fit your laptop, right? At least that’s how I felt about this for a long time. That’s until I invested in a beautiful, roomy leather bag and realised how much it pays off in terms of upgrading your outfit.
Now that large bags are back in fashion, there are numerous classy maxi-format models that can do work and leisure. Here are five models with space to fit most standard laptops.
1. Chelsea from Liebeskind Berlin

This pretty medium-sized bag features a clever 2-in-1 design. It has tabs on the sides so you can fold the corners in to change its rectangular shape. The bordeaux leather with crocodile embossing is an eye-catcher that’s surprisingly easy to combine.
- Dimensions: 28 × 36 × 15 cm
2. Kite Tote by Aesther Ekme
Aesther Ekme’s Kite Tote stands out with its asymmetrical shape. And that’s all it takes. Even the branding is very discreet with a logo that consists of just three dots punched into the leather.

3. Hop On from Coccinelle
The velvety patchwork surface in hues including sweet apricot, toffee brown, pistachio green and icy blue gives the bag a playful look. The handles on the Hop On by Coccinelle can be worn on the wrist or over the shoulder – very handy!
- Dimensions: 36 × 27 × 13 cm
4. The Tokyo Tote from Demellier
The casual yet elegant Tokyo Tote is made of soft, brown suede and has a golden arrow-shaped clasp. Although the bag has a hefty price tag, its timeless design makes it an investment you’re likely to enjoy for a long time.

5. Dua from Gianni Chiarini
Elegance and practicality are the cornerstones of Italian brand Gianni Chiarini. And the Dua bag is the embodiment of this mix. In spite of its understated look, the pleat details and round cut-out beneath the handle section make it stand out from your ordinary shopper bags.
- Dimensions: 34 × 38 × 16 cm


Has endless love for shoulder pads, Stratocasters and sashimi, but a limited tolerance for bad impressions of her Eastern Swiss dialect.
