Everyone is different, obviously, but I personally am much more likely to lose one of the bags when I have more than one to keep track of. </p> <p>You could also get a small crossbody or clutch that fits inside the larger bag, that she could take out and use separately if she wanted to, say, go out for lunch and leave the large bag/laptop at home or whatever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156836 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 20:57:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2156836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd prefer a laptop bag that's big enough to hold everything. Basically, just a large enough bag that has a padded pocket for the laptop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156834 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 20:45:08 +0000 Huckleberry 2156834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the replies, ladies!<br />Looks unanimous.<br />Separate bags it will be.<br />And as a bonus, I now know<br />what a "cross body" bag is.<br />Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156833 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 20:43:38 +0000 Dawn 2156833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, agree with separate bags and the laptop bag being big enough to fit smaller crossbody in! Not sure where you live but I saw these at Kmart Australia- the inner laptop case is very padded. Comes in other colours (I loved the green!). My daughter’s case/bag becomes rather battered so if I was buying, I wouldn’t get a spendy one (for the laptop that is!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156830 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 20:24:34 +0000 Carla 2156830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since she’s a teenager, I would suggest a backpack with a built in laptop sleeve. &nbsp;The purse would be a separate bag. A cute cross body bag, unless this is her first ‘big girl’ bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156829 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 20:23:29 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2156829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two bags, but try to make the laptop bag large enough and comfortable enough to carry with the smaller purse inside it.&nbsp;</p> <p>My key criteria for purses these days are:&nbsp; &nbsp;1) does it play well with the colors in my wardrobe?&nbsp; 2)&nbsp; is it comfortable to carry?&nbsp; 3)&nbsp; Will my phone fit inside, without the screen being in jeopardy of being scratched or cracked by the other things in my bag?</p> <p>That third condition is the make-or-break decision-maker for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156825 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 19:39:38 +0000 Liz 2156825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a tote large enough to fit my laptop and a slim crossbody. That way I have one bag to carry around, but can take the crossbody out and use it separately if I need to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156824 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 19:39:04 +0000 Echo 2156824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could be wrong, but I'd imagine there are more places she'd go without the laptop than with it. So, going out shopping, or out to lunch, or meeting friends (when those things are possible and safe again) would not necessitate her taking the laptop. I would suggest two different bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156821 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 19:29:18 +0000 Anonymous 2156821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already use at least 2 bags. I vote separate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/separate-purse-and-laptop-bag#post-2156819 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 19:18:44 +0000 Huckleberry 2156819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, ladies.<br />I have a teenage daughter who needs a purse.<br />She's also getting a laptop for Christmas.<br />Should I get her a separate purse and<br />laptop bag, or one bag that holds everything?<br />What would&nbsp;<i>you&nbsp;</i>prefer? </p>
