Reply to: Which Rucksack?

That's tiny.

Mind you I also have a large handbag to put make up in.

It is way too small, quite a bad buy tbh. I can pack light but it's full with two dresses and a pair of heels. Not acceptable.

Why not go retro and get a good old 1970s haversack?

I have one a bit like this one:

Has lasted me three years. 15" laptop, ipad, leads and a load of main storge space which I hardly ever use but could easily fit a days worth of clothes in. 36L.

Next project is a train commute away so I too was looking at laptop backpacks, just could not find anything that fitted the size / style I wanted.

So I have designed one; it’s currently in mid construction, parts cut, need to do some dye samples to get the colour I want.

Suede & leather combo with contrasting colours & stitching, with laptop compartment, space for handbag, lunch bag & book, and separate compartments for travel card, water bottle & smokes. Hardware in antique bronze colour, brown suede, leather parts colour TBC with Celtic knot engraving.

This way I get what I want & it’s unique.

Yes I do, do commissions but it’s not cheap; a decent leather laptop bag is c£500 & will take 4-6 weeks.

Sounds fab, needs pics when its done!

I took a walk Oxford Street and was impressed with these guys Sandqvist, although they only had the smaller version in stock, but they do a 22l and a 27l which should do the job, in both looks and function.

Got one of these too if I need to carry more stuff around

[MrMarkyMark]

Can't see why one would worry about the bag design, especially if someone else carry's it for one anyway

So glad I pay £100 a week for Monday to Thursday lodgings, where I can leave stuff in my room over the weekend, park right outside and drive door to door between there and clientco and home, so I needn't bother with all this bag nonsense.

Its far easier to split your need and have an ultra small day case that has no space for unnecessary
crap like 4 million cables and chargers. then have a small overnight bag that will cover 3 days of shirts etc. that way you only have to carry loads of crap when you arrive or leave.

I've got one of these at the moment

Could we have a photo when finished please?

Yes, but in all fairness, I doubt that is going to do much for Simon Mac's street cred in Yorkshire.

[Lockhouse]

I've got a Swissgear. Had it for years. Highly recommended.

[SueEllen]

I've got one of these which hasn't worked out for me (I think the clothes storage claims are for people who don't wear high heels or require make up to look human).

Need to get rid of it really, offers accepted and all that
