I would check out Mandarina Duck &amp; Furla, although I think Furla is likely to be priced like Tumi or maybe more.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-backpack---suggestions#post-2301362 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 18:05:36 +0000 kkards 2301362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't know if MZ Wallace is available in Italy, but this is the backpack i carry. its lightweight (if you go the leather route, be careful of the weight it could add), and the lacquer finish lends it a more dressy feel, plus it wipes down really well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-backpack---suggestions#post-2301342 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 16:06:08 +0000 Sisi 2301342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you<b> Rebeka</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-backpack---suggestions#post-2301341 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 16:04:19 +0000 rebekahphoto 2301341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would also suggest Hedgren, Bellroy, Rains, Tucano (Italian brand). I have had to start carrying a backpack for the same reasons &amp; currently have a Hedgren nylon one. Its sleek and lightweight and I love the separate laptop pocket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-backpack---suggestions#post-2301321 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 15:06:31 +0000 Sisi 2301321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Zaeobi </b>- good idea to check the mens department.<br />Thank you <b>Angie</b> - I checked, guess what, there is a Tumi shop downtown Milan but the prices are high (they go from 500 to 1000 euro and above). Anyway it is helpful to check a brand that makes backpacks so I can get an idea of what are the best solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-backpack---suggestions#post-2301316 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 14:54:19 +0000 Angie 2301316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd check out the dressier Tumi backpacks. They are BEAUTIFUL, very robust, seek, and look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-backpack---suggestions#post-2301276 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 09:04:42 +0000 Zaeobi 2301276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check the menswear section of leather goods - my current work backpack is actually a man's, because I couldn't find a women's version in dark brown leather with enough height for a 14" laptop (in a padded sleeve) plus extra pockets (both on the inside &amp; outside). At least I couldn't on a budget! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-backpack---suggestions#post-2301272 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 08:57:09 +0000 Sisi 2301272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I commute by train every day and I often wear an old sporty backpack instead of a bag. Not the dressiest thing on earth but very practical.&nbsp;&nbsp;The advantages of a backpack are that it has plenty of space, allows to distribute the load on both shoulders and leaves your hands free.&nbsp;<br />I would like to find an elegant but very functional backpack. Do you fabbers have any suggestions ? </p>
