Despite almost 80 percent of Brits claiming to own a laptop [1], laptop bags have taken a huge swerve in the fashion stakes. Let's be honest here: most laptop bags are pretty ugly. And though they do need to be practical and protective [2] when they're housing hundreds (if not thousands) of pounds' worth of technology, no one wants their sharp outfit ruined by a bulky nylon bag.
Traditional laptop bags can be something of a security risk, too. A bag that's easily identifiable as a laptop bag could be a target for thieves. We've had it with laptop bags that can't hold their own, so we've gone on a mission to find stylish bags that'll allow you to transport your beloved tech wherever you go, without sacrificing style. We've tracked down the very best and most beautiful laptop bags, as well all some gorgeous large bags that aren't designed for toting your tech but will still easily hold a laptop. And there's not a single piece of nylon in sight, we promise.
