Looking for a structured handbag that fits a 13” MacBook and 9.25 x 11” notebook
Hi everyone! I’m looking for handbag recommendations that can comfortably fit a 13-inch MacBook, a 9.25 x 11-inch notebook, a water bottle, and a pencil pouch.
I currently use a handbag that I thrifted in Sacramento, and I really love the style and details of it. It has held up well and fits most of what I need, but the main issue is that it does not fit my 9.25 x 11-inch notebook well. When I put the notebook inside, the bag does not zip properly. I’m hoping to find something similar, just a little bigger and more practical for everyday use.
The main thing I’m looking for is a structured bag with a sturdier base. I like that my current bag keeps its shape when I put my laptop inside and doesn’t sag. I’m not opposed to tote bags, but a lot of the ones I’ve seen don’t have the structure I’m looking for, especially when carrying heavier items like a laptop and notebook. I also prefer a bag with a wider base so my pencil pouch and water bottle can fit comfortably, even if they’re lying on their side.
One of my friends recently got a Longchamp bag, and I liked the shape and size, but I would prefer something in leather or suede rather than polyester or canvas. I want something that looks nice enough to use for school, work, and everyday outings.
I attached photos of my current bag, the items I usually carry, and how everything fits inside. I’d really appreciate any recommendations for structured leather or suede handbags that could fit a 13-inch MacBook and a 9.25 x 11-inch notebook comfortably!
