Carrying Bag for the office place

[trigun500]

I just got an accounting job in Cleveland. What would be an acceptable carrying bag I could use to carry in my personal items (GPS, Zune, Medication ect.)? I don't see too many people using brief cases anymore. What do you all use? I'll be taking the Bus most of the time so I need somewhere to keep these items.


Thanks for any help

I'm still rocking the backpack at 24 (on the rare occasion that I need to carry something in or out). Feels a bit amateurish, but some of the 40 year olds do it too, so I don't feel so bad.

I think the only alternatives are a laptop bag or messenger type bag, but I'm too lazy to carry stuff and don't like shoulder straps.

I have an Eddie Bauer bag that I have had for 20+ years. It's kind of like a soft sided briefcase.
Similar to this but no zippers.

Another style.

I also still use my backpack. I've had the thing since 8th grade, so maybe it's time for a change.... Though in my defense there are some 40+ year olds at my work that also carry backpacks. When I graduate I'd like to get a nice messenger bag though.

I just use a good laptop shoulder bag. That way if I have to carry my laptop I can, but for the most part I use it as my man purse.

Backpack, messenger bags are a pain to carry all the time.

Messenger bags from popular stores are a bit too common. If you want something more 'unique', try an army surplus. Otherwise laptop bag.

Messenger bags may be fashionable, but honestly the backpack ist he most practical/useful

Backpack. It just makes sense.

Timbuk2. These bags are expensive but they're well worth it. Backpacks look really childish

first to latest: a small black eddie bauer saddle bag (can just fit a 12" dell 700m laptop), then kipling messenger in black (dell 1705 laptop now), then kensington contour exec, then samsonite black exec backpack (15" XPS laptop now)

the samsonite i like, since its a backpack, but its more business prone, and not kiddie like.

Looking for a man bag? Timbuk2's too common. Check out Manhattan Portage.
