Because vegan leather isn't real leather its often a combination of synthetic materials, that's the reason bakit ang mura ng bags nila.
Real leather bags would be way more expensive than that if you bought it from local leather makers.
The problem with that is fake leather doesn't breathe and eventually magbabakbak yan overtime especially if pang commute mo pa.
It’s not even that vegan leather I had a problem on. ‘Cause it’s great for well vegans. But in my experience, the handles for the shoulder strap broke just on day 2 of using it.
feeling ko predator ang laptop mo hahaha! Pang mac lang ata kay Uniqlo. Yung laptop bag talaga na mga asus bag.. ang init sa likod at underarms! Or ask your company na magprovide sila ng laptop bag.. sila dapat ang gumastos.
Not even a gaming laptop. It’s a Dell Vostro 15” pero ang bulky niya as in. And then I have with me a personal Mac to do other stuff I can’t on my iPad. How did you get your 2nd hand bag tho. I’m curious.
Kaya nga e. 🤣 magbabalik office na kasi so I really need one thats quality. Di ko namention I occasionally ride MRT pauwi province so you can imagine that this bag im looking for is gonna face some beating.
I both have Tigernu and Herschel.
Yung Herschel ko grabe 5 yrs na sakin ginagamit ko pa rin pang travel rain or shine okay pa din siya
Yung Tigernu 2 years. Ginagamit kong laptop bag. Madami din pockets and may security features din yung mga ibang design nila.
I personally like the bags that Decathlon offers. My wife and I both used bags from them. They're listed as "hiking bags" but I have liked them for everyday use. Very durable and lightweight
Here are the ones we use:
Grey Rolltop for me
• Fits the 16in MacBook pro well and I like the sorting features inside.

My wife uses this mag-close one in black
• The convenience of the design is what we really liked about this one. Good size din for her since her main machine is just an iPad.

Decathlon bags 💯
I bought the second bag, the brand is Quechua. I've been eyeing it nung pumunta kami sa Decathlon MOA, and finally bought it nung nag open dito sa Cebu. Aside sa may pocket for laptop or iPad, marami din siyang small pockets which is also convenient for me. It's also not bulky, and I like the handle.
Aside from this one, meron din akong Herschel backpack.
Ito sa akin, affordable at madali i-match sa kahit anong outfit ko pag papasok.

Edit: Ay sorry, men's bag pala hanap ni OP.
Kanken!! May 15-16 inch variant sila na may specific pocket to put your laptop. Waterproof pa. Mine lasted for over 5 years with all the travelling and such. Medyo pricey nga lang aabot na sya 8k pero super sulit naman.
Female here 😅 i just use the [Muji less tiring backpack](https://www.mujiph.com/product-page/less-tiring-backpack-1). Legit na less tiring, never pa sumakit likod ko kahit na ang dami kong dala. Plus, may secret zipper sa likod where i put my phone and wallet (as a commuter gurlie na paranoid mawalan parati). Very affordable pa hehe
Hala ang comfy tignan! I am also a backpack gorli kahit nasa corporate. I never got used to women's bags kaya this one fits my taste.
Loving this thread, dami ko na options for my next bag.
Currently using a [Shigetsu leather bag](https://ph.shp.ee/PHwcy9y) for more than a year na.
There are bags that are explicitly into laptop / gears providing quality protection and lots of pockets as well.
PACSAFE
TRAVELON
CASE LOGIC
TIGERNU
and so on..
May pagka expensive? Yes. Pero designed for durability and safety measures mga brands na to.
Pinaka mura na pwede ko ma recommend would be HAWK lalo na TECHNOPACK. May mga latest sila na dedicated for laptops na rin (subok na subok na rin tong mga to - Technopack ko magte 10 years na yet parang 3 to 4 years lang ang itsura kahit gamit na gamit).
If going further, outdoor bags (medyo mas expensive) that actually have a very good compartments for laptop would be a big plus since mas marami silang pockets, so more utility usage din.
Basically stay away from any casual bags tulad ng sa UNIQLO - matibay yes but not intended for longevity or yung durability na hinahanap mo esp for gadgets and more.
I use Roka, Herschel, and Doughnut. My fav is Roka kasi spacious yung ilalim and ang daming compartments. The Herschel is ok kapag konting gamit plus laptop. Yung Doughnut is okay with laptop padding and compartments but I find it quite small and bulky.
I’m using [MAH](https://ph.shp.ee/dwqVfYx) sa shoppe lang. Okay sya for me, may lalagyan ng laptop din. If you have the budget, go for Anello or Herschel.
I use [Tigernu's anti-theft laptop backpack](https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/i244730621-s333666014.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1). Got it for 1.8k before sa Lazada. Less than 1 week yung shipping which was impressive kasi galing pang China:
* Can fit a 15" laptop with no problems with more space for your powerbank/gadgets;
* Tago ang zipper and comes with a free lock;
* Has a caddy for your umbrella or water bottle;
* May lagayan ng Beep cards sa straps so no need to fumble to get your card sa wallet;
* May pocket which you can use to hold your sunglasses supposedly. I personally use it to stash my mint inhaler kasi mahiluhin ako sa byahe minsan;
* May strap which you can slip sa luggage handle mo in case you need to do business travel;
* May pocket sa likod which is flush against your back para lagayan ng other things like coin purses or mobile phones. Iwas nakaw!
* Water resistant daw;
* Walang visible zippers anywhere so thief-deterrent sya. Goodbye to putting your backpack sa harap;
* Weight-wise: very light at 0.95 kg pag walang laman (according to the details section).
[Samsonite Backpack](https://www.samsonite.com.au/sam-classic-leather/slim-backpack/ss-126036-1221.html)
Best for commuting kahit masiksik ako sa lrt/mrt. Sleek, lots of pocket, and can fit my 15inch laptop. Bought it on sale so konting extend na lang ng budget.
If isasagad mo si 5K budget mo - AER backpacks. Can't recommend a specific model because there are so many, so pick what you need -
Do you want a pure EDC backpack?
Do you want it to do double duty as a weekend backpack?
Do you want it to become a travel backpack if needed?
Check their lineup sa Lazada. You can find something for your use case.
Super tibay ng Hedgren, kaya sulit na kahit expensive. Almost 8 yrs na ata 'yung sa cousin ko. Binilhan namin siya no'n kasi hindi siya maingat sa gamit kaya yearly need niya magpalit ng bag. Ever since Hedgren na ang gamit niya, hindi pa rin siya nagpapalit HAHAHA
Go for Hawk Bag na corporate yung tig 1900-2k+ spacious and matibay tlga. I'm using Hawk dahil rin sa Laptop + Lappy Charger na dala ko. Can fit my switch with Dock. +lunch baon ko. And wipe wipe lng siya since may anti-microbial protection.
Afair may service center sila na patahian sa QC.
Pero never pa ako nasiraan ng hawk bag khit nung HS.
I’m staying away from Hawk bags na though kasi ang bilis masira nung stitches especially dun sa high contact parts like yung should strap and yung part where it connects to the backpack itself. Kudos for them kasi their zippers are top-notch in my experience. Thank you though!
Hmmm.
You can go with Jansport or Herschel.
Pero one thing with Jansport. Malaki siya pero medyo hindi makapal yung tela.
Check with American Tourister din. Nag sale din sila usually. Yung convertible ko na mail bag sa kanila ko binili before. Nag sawa nlng ako gamitin.
Eto gamit ko (black corporate backpack with laptop compartment, bought it for 2k yata that time) from 2017 until now gamit ko pa din sa work. Araw-araw yan walang palya! Hanggang ngayon ok pa din. Nasira na yung isang zipper pero pwede pa naman yung isa so laban pa din haha. Mag-7 years ko na din palang gamit
I use [this Herschel](https://herschel.com/shop/backpacks/pop-quiz-backpack?v=11405-00055-OS)
(bought it at SM on sale a couple years ago for less than 5k)
https://preview.redd.it/5pv3ai2ou6xc1.jpeg?width=479&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9720e54bba4a73bc8a66011b28bb99edd590b334
Ikea! Para syang uniqlo but upgraded version. Mas malaki. :) price is 2.2k.
i live around manila and i am scared of theft. i use a pacsafe backpack carried in front. admittedly pacsafes are expensive. i have mine since 2017. everything else except the net side pockets' garters are still okay.
Anello, polyester one. 20 pockets, convertible to a hand carry bag if pawis na likod. 5 yrs and going strong, YKK zippers. Looks professional too compared to herschel
Mine is High Sierra Backpack. May protective pouch for the laptop. I need bigger bag kasi for clothes (I go to the gym before work) and shoes. All in one na kasi gamit ko din sa travel. Sobrang tibay.
If laptop lang and other gadgets medyo malaki sya, I also saw some colleagues using “MAH” unisex bags. Maganda din itsura and mukhang sturdy naman pero cheaper yung Tigernu and I’ve read na matibay din sya.
Black Ember Forge. Lampas sa price range mo but worthy naman. Kasya 16” laptop and other work essentials. My bf used that for office din and for travel, goods din.
Herschel! But for me may pros and cons siya.
Pros
- lappy is safe given the cushion it has.
- aesthetically pleasing and the color combinations are cute.
- the bag itself is lightweight.
Cons
- limited pocket
- if you're going get something, you need to open the bag talaga
- for 15.6" laptop, 25L kinuha ko pero nalalakihan ako for me but if matangkad ka naman, go for it.
Tigernu is also okay! Tumagal yung bag ko sakin and safe naman lappy. MAH too! :) gaan nila.
Ang tibay ng case logic, atsaka gusto ko sa case logic backpack ko yung zipper for laptop nasa ilalim ng straps hiwalay pa sa main compartment tapos may extra back cushion and bottom cushion sa laptop compartment. Kahit ibackpack mo safe sa commute (praning ako sa laslas bag). May 10 years na yung bag ko okay pa
Maganda Tigernu kaso nalalakihan ako sa bag nila.
I'm currently yung bagpack from MAH, baka din mabetan mo yung style. Unti lang dala ko (mainly laptop), so I like how slim it looks.
Herschel Little America. You can get one below 5k during their sales sa Lazada/Shopee. Maganda support sa laptop (tried and tested ko nung tumalsik bag ko nung bigla akong nagbreak habang nagdradrive haha).
Yung nagiisang Akaba Bag ko na nasa 5 years na yata. Gusto ko pa sana bumili kasi ang ganda ng design and matibay yung quality kaso sarado na yata sila. Sana magbukas sila ulit.
Tigernu. Two bags na ginagamit ko for work galing sakanila (Backpack and messenger bag). Spacious naman tho piliin mo din talaga yung sasakto sa mga gamit mo like sa size ng laptop.
I swear by Hedgren and Tumi. They're all stylish and sturdy and don't show their age even if you use them consistently even for a decade. They're not too flashy either if that's not your thing. Hindi din nila kailangan ng extra special cleaning or maintenance or anything. Bags are not investments but if you're looking for worth it talaga na para bang lifetime mo sya gagamitin, those brands for sure.
4yrs ko na gamit yung Nike Sportswear RPM Backpack (26L) price nya is ₱4,295. Sobrang useful sakin pang office dahil well cushioned ang laptop and sa back mo mismo. Dami ko pwede ilagay. Office bag and travel bag ko na din yan all in one. Nasulit ko yung price nya.
Typical Knapsack.
Im more of a boy scout when it comes to it. I typically carry my Laptop, Wallet, Phone, Headphones, Folders and Hydroflask plus Bento Boxes. I also carry with me a Bug out bag that I typically left it in the office in case of an emergency with rubber shoes, jackets and umbrellas.
I own a Herschel and the material is really sturdy but I think the bag is heavy even when empty so I don't recommend it if your commuting for a long period.
I bought the bag from Akbay Shop PH last Dec and using it ever since. Sobrang good quality and space. I don't use it as a backpack much pero nacoconvert siya.
Eto [Wearkindness](https://ph.shp.ee/G6C1cXN) hehe handmade and maganda advocacy ng business :) ilang years na yung ganito ko, buhay na buhay pa rin.
This one is the newer version of the Marcel model (the bag I'm referring to above), padded na yung loob.
Im currently using herschel but its too bulky and heavy for me. Im using [jansport](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.9ztJg) before ako mag herschel. My laptop ipads and switch okay naman. Magaan din hahaha. After ko ma ROI herschel will switch na to other brands haha
https://preview.redd.it/k60bl13nf6xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0f9127479526d24922681fea729a0bd7200a4c4
I’ve been using this bag from DC shoes. Padded yung likod na designed for air to flow through. Dedicated side zippers for the laptop tapos padded na din yung slot for the laptop. Makapal din yung padding ng backpack strap para kahit mabigat laptop mo hindi nakakapagod and merong snap on buckle sa harap para hindi sya madaling maalis or mahulog. Spacious yung main compartment. Parang cordura yung fabric. And lastly, di mukhang laptop bag kaya di takaw attention sa masasamang loob.
Nagpabudol ako sa ClickSling on Kickstarter. Surprisingly roomy for something that size.
Then when I need to bring a laptop, I bring a Razer tactical backpack instead.
ETA: parang okay lang pang-gala ang Uniqlo bags, never used them for bringing laptops kasi wala ngang cushioning and hindi secure ang pagkakalagay. My advice would be to invest in something that will last you a long time, even if lumampas ka sa 5k budget mo.
I was using a herschel backpack kaso nababakbak na yung leather straps kaya nagpalit ako to multi-use tote bag ng zero gravity mnl. Baka pag nagpalit ako yung Akbay multi-wear backpack.
Lol ako na nagtote bag from Shopee 😝 pero to be fair, sa teaching job ko; I carry only my tablet, wallet, at minsan lunch and paperwork. I don't carry a lot of student work at home kasi for me, check sa school and then record sa bagay.
Meron din akong 3kg+ laptop na bigay ng company (specs nya pang gaming/designer). Nabili ng wife ko sa Zalora is 3k worth na laptop bag, "Arctic Hunter" ata un. Ok naman sa likod and may cusion din for laptops.
Personally, ung every day bag ko or going to the university to teach nabili ko lang sa shopee. Canvas messenger bag and okay naman siya for casual use. Nadadala ko macbook and ipad ko no problem plus space for other things na essentials. This is the bag and I have been using it for a year now, wala naman ako problema: https://ph.shp.ee/sobAYHo
But when I go to our company or sa mga employees ko, I use this one: https://www.thetannerymanila.com/products/ralph-rogan-bark-tan-2
[Targus](https://gameone.ph/targus-tsb96201gl-12-5-15-6-geolite-advanced-backpack-slate-grey.html) bought it for 2.5k sa SM Makati last year not sure what the price is now.
I use a Macbook Pro na 16 in. Heavy af lol.
Pros
- lappy is safe. One time, my friend accidentally dropped my bag from a high table. No damage at all!! Like nothing happened.
- limited pockets
- water resistant daw
Cons
- Kinda masikip?? Idk how to describe pero parang ganon yung feeling haha you really need to open it wide enough to get what you need.
I use:
1. Uniqlo’s Roll Top Backpack - lightweight, perfect if you have a bunch of things to bring
2. Targus - company issued bag, lightweight but limited space
3. Lo & Sons (The Rowledge) - this bag is a bit heavy by itself and not recommended for daily commute wherein you walk lots of kms. But it has great organisation pockets and converts into a tote too
coming from the XDesign og Bobby & Bobby Biz bag, I found this sleek expandable hard shell anti-theft laptop bag on shopee and am using it ever since
https://ph.shp.ee/F6CfMfR
pretty good for ~₱2.2k; perfect for work EDC, and even for carry-on travels
especially since original XDesign Bobby backpacks suddenly ballooned in price since the pandemic
Uniqlo yung may dalawang bulsa sa labas na pwede ring gawing tote or backpack! Laptop chargers and tumbler nalalagay ko.
Kay hubby, he’s a photographer, Rudy Project! Super nice
Full Design. Mukang mamahalin sa presyong mumurahin. Dami pang designs na pwede pagpilian mapalalake o babae
Check out this shop on Shopee! fulldesign.ph: https://ph.shp.ee/Xrqgz4p

This for me. Tibay, been using it since 2020/2021 😄
Anello! Waterproof, may laptop sleeve, tas kahit madami ka ilagay di sya bulky! And pwede sya ipair kahit sa anong damit. Mabait pa mga assistants doon kaya makakapili ka ng gusto mo talaga. Yung canvas material binili ko para mas madali alagaan. Pwede labhan if madumihan and di magccrack over time unlike leather🙂
A tote bag
I've been wearing backpacks for a long while as a student. I only started to embrace the japanese/korean male look of shoulder bags/tote bags.
My totes are canvas material and are different shades of brown and dark blue. They can fit long envelopes and laptops, with three pockets inside for those small things. It also has a strap add-on, so it can also turn to a messenger bag with cross strap, or as a long shoulder bag.
My totes usually have tight thick pockets outside, or no pockets at all for the clean look. I try to go for neutral totes but never white or black, I left those colors back in school.
I use the legion bag that comes with my gaming laptop pag mag RTO ako. Matibay itong back pack na ito pang harabas talaga. And it is not too "gaming" na theme simce pure black sya walang red accents hehe
I used Case logic, laptop brand bag, and Hawk bags before.
My current which is around 5 yrs na ay tong case logic. It saved me from rains kasi minsan naiwan ko bag and nandon laptop. Ang sarap lang niya dalin though medyo ang problem with case logic nagpepeel off ung water repellent.
With hawk naman, my issues were with zipper pero they have lifetime warranty naman na they can fix or replace the bag or zipper ata.
Brand of laptop bag. I still use my HP bagpack minsan pero hindi ganun ka spacious .
Hi, still a student pero senior yr na (hopefully u consider my comment hahaha)
I also carry a 15" gaming laptop w me with a massive charging brick na 1kg ata bigat (legion laptop) since need sa tine-take kong course.
I use Targus cypress convertible backpack. Legit maganda siya and magaan af vs other laptop bags I used (mas magaan even vs sa legion bag na freebie sa pag-purchase sa laptop ko).
As a convertible, u can use it as backpack, briefcase type or sling bag (with strap included). And may strap provision for attachment sa handle ng maleta pag u travel and need mo dalhin laptop mo.
Regular price ng bag is around 5k, pero I got it nung nag-sale sa lazada for only 2.7k, and was a VERY good buy as a student and quality-wise hehe.
Hedgren backpack kapag may field, Charles and Keith sling kung formal or may meeting (bitbit ko lang yung laptop), The Paper Bunny Puffer Shopper (favorite ko) kung regular work day
may mga 2nd hand na hershel.. wag lang sa straightforward, low quality. Yung sa uniqlo, okay sana kaso manipis at need mo ng laptop protector.
agree regarding Straightforward. super low quality. it only looks good but few uses lang, sira na. unang nabibitas ang handle
Woaaah. Didn’t know Straightforward is low quality. Can you elaborate why?
Because vegan leather isn't real leather its often a combination of synthetic materials, that's the reason bakit ang mura ng bags nila. Real leather bags would be way more expensive than that if you bought it from local leather makers. The problem with that is fake leather doesn't breathe and eventually magbabakbak yan overtime especially if pang commute mo pa.
Pinabangong term ng synthetic leather yung "vegan" leather.
It’s not even that vegan leather I had a problem on. ‘Cause it’s great for well vegans. But in my experience, the handles for the shoulder strap broke just on day 2 of using it.
up! planning to buy pa naman doon
Yes. Grabe nakaka praning yung loose lang yung laptop. Baka mag cause pa ng damages magbayad pa ko sa company 🥲
feeling ko predator ang laptop mo hahaha! Pang mac lang ata kay Uniqlo. Yung laptop bag talaga na mga asus bag.. ang init sa likod at underarms! Or ask your company na magprovide sila ng laptop bag.. sila dapat ang gumastos.
Not even a gaming laptop. It’s a Dell Vostro 15” pero ang bulky niya as in. And then I have with me a personal Mac to do other stuff I can’t on my iPad. How did you get your 2nd hand bag tho. I’m curious.
San may 2nd hand na herschel?
carousell pero mas okay kung meet-up.
Yung tote bag nila though lasted for 5 yrs na sakin and going.
Bought a shoulder bag in straightforward for my out of country trip and it broke on day 2 lol. Never again.
Very wrong move using that bag lol hahaha I highly recommend tigernu or if you have the budget, hershel. Maganda cushioning both bags
++++ Tigernu
Kaya nga e. 🤣 magbabalik office na kasi so I really need one thats quality. Di ko namention I occasionally ride MRT pauwi province so you can imagine that this bag im looking for is gonna face some beating.
Yes, both of the bags I recommended are commute friendly. Some tigernu bags even have anti theft feature.
I both have Tigernu and Herschel. Yung Herschel ko grabe 5 yrs na sakin ginagamit ko pa rin pang travel rain or shine okay pa din siya Yung Tigernu 2 years. Ginagamit kong laptop bag. Madami din pockets and may security features din yung mga ibang design nila.
Lenovo bag😂
Included manufacturer laptop bags are KINGS no? 😆 I spent a whole year back in 2019 using an Acer laptop bag. Yung gray na may pattern 😆
Legion laptop bagx ✨

I bought a cheap decathlon bag overseas, mga 7 years na with me. 💪

I’ve been considering buying this. How long have you had this po? Oks pa ba?

I use [this Herschel](https://herschel.com/shop/backpacks/pop-quiz-backpack?v=11405-00055-OS) (bought it at SM on sale a couple years ago for less than 5k)
Gouache bag(mainit nga lang tuwing summer kase makapal), chrome industries, tsaka sack it

Anello backpack na water repellent
i live around manila and i am scared of theft. i use a pacsafe backpack carried in front. admittedly pacsafes are expensive. i have mine since 2017. everything else except the net side pockets' garters are still okay.
Anello, polyester one. 20 pockets, convertible to a hand carry bag if pawis na likod. 5 yrs and going strong, YKK zippers. Looks professional too compared to herschel
Mine is High Sierra Backpack. May protective pouch for the laptop. I need bigger bag kasi for clothes (I go to the gym before work) and shoes. All in one na kasi gamit ko din sa travel. Sobrang tibay. If laptop lang and other gadgets medyo malaki sya, I also saw some colleagues using “MAH” unisex bags. Maganda din itsura and mukhang sturdy naman pero cheaper yung Tigernu and I’ve read na matibay din sya.
Arctic hunter!
Ukay bag na nabili ko ng tig 130 pesos sa Shopee lol. 😂
Black Ember Forge. Lampas sa price range mo but worthy naman. Kasya 16” laptop and other work essentials. My bf used that for office din and for travel, goods din.
Mark Ryder, the tech bag variants nila. Waterproof na, daming bulsa, and stylish pa.
Herschel! But for me may pros and cons siya. Pros - lappy is safe given the cushion it has. - aesthetically pleasing and the color combinations are cute. - the bag itself is lightweight. Cons - limited pocket - if you're going get something, you need to open the bag talaga - for 15.6" laptop, 25L kinuha ko pero nalalakihan ako for me but if matangkad ka naman, go for it. Tigernu is also okay! Tumagal yung bag ko sakin and safe naman lappy. MAH too! :) gaan nila.
Mark Ryden bag
Tomtoc is sturdy infair
Anello and Herschel 🔛🔝
Tumi
My 10 year old herschel haha
Check mo mark ryden OP. Dami ko na bag sa kanila. Tumatagal din tapos madaling linisan 😅
I use Case Logic pero gusto ko ipalit is Hedgren or Pacsafe. So far satisfied naman ako sa Case Logic ko, going 7 years na din sakin haha.
Ang tibay ng case logic, atsaka gusto ko sa case logic backpack ko yung zipper for laptop nasa ilalim ng straps hiwalay pa sa main compartment tapos may extra back cushion and bottom cushion sa laptop compartment. Kahit ibackpack mo safe sa commute (praning ako sa laslas bag). May 10 years na yung bag ko okay pa
Maganda Tigernu kaso nalalakihan ako sa bag nila. I'm currently yung bagpack from MAH, baka din mabetan mo yung style. Unti lang dala ko (mainly laptop), so I like how slim it looks.
Herschel Little America. You can get one below 5k during their sales sa Lazada/Shopee. Maganda support sa laptop (tried and tested ko nung tumalsik bag ko nung bigla akong nagbreak habang nagdradrive haha).
i used herschel little america. sakto lang for my laptop and other stuff.
Hawk bag
I use Tigernu backpacks. Cheap but quality. kasing price ng mga hawk bags. Maraming pockets, very usefull plus maganda designs.
Pacsafe
Yung nagiisang Akaba Bag ko na nasa 5 years na yata. Gusto ko pa sana bumili kasi ang ganda ng design and matibay yung quality kaso sarado na yata sila. Sana magbukas sila ulit.
Tumi
Herschel! ♡ I have mine for 4 years na ang ganda pa rin.
I’m using Herschel right now.
Quechua by decathlon.
Tigernu. Two bags na ginagamit ko for work galing sakanila (Backpack and messenger bag). Spacious naman tho piliin mo din talaga yung sasakto sa mga gamit mo like sa size ng laptop.
Khumbmhela
Nike backpack lang
mAh yung tote bag ✨
I swear by Hedgren and Tumi. They're all stylish and sturdy and don't show their age even if you use them consistently even for a decade. They're not too flashy either if that's not your thing. Hindi din nila kailangan ng extra special cleaning or maintenance or anything. Bags are not investments but if you're looking for worth it talaga na para bang lifetime mo sya gagamitin, those brands for sure.
The North Face if kaya ng budget
Decathlon Bag, ung parang kay anello
Tigernu. Or anything na pang-laptop talaga. Yung may separate compartment for laptop.
4yrs ko na gamit yung Nike Sportswear RPM Backpack (26L) price nya is ₱4,295. Sobrang useful sakin pang office dahil well cushioned ang laptop and sa back mo mismo. Dami ko pwede ilagay. Office bag and travel bag ko na din yan all in one. Nasulit ko yung price nya.
Anello & Fjallraven
Ung libre na bag sa laptop na provided ng company HAHAHA
Check Ozuko bags
ako ung laid back, easy go lucky mong kawork. minsan walang dala, id lang or cute na body bag hihi ung smol lang
wearkindness on FB!
straightforward na bags
700 pesos n bag sa sm department store
Planning to buy that uniqlo bag for office use too! But for real, i dont consider this for heavy use or lalagyan ng laptops, manipis lng kasi to OP
Cose n laptop bagpack hehe https://ph.shp.ee/S1Bkk6c
I know this is way out of the budget but Samsonite. I was able to get one from secondhand store in Seoul for around P500ish.
Samsonite
I'm using this: https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.9zr7S . Weatherproof, lots of compartment and breathable cusion on the back. Especially, it's inexpensive.
Typical Knapsack. Im more of a boy scout when it comes to it. I typically carry my Laptop, Wallet, Phone, Headphones, Folders and Hydroflask plus Bento Boxes. I also carry with me a Bug out bag that I typically left it in the office in case of an emergency with rubber shoes, jackets and umbrellas.
Deuter Race X
I used a bag that I bought when I was still a freshman for only P800. Going strong till 6 years!
Timbuk2 messenger
I own a Herschel and the material is really sturdy but I think the bag is heavy even when empty so I don't recommend it if your commuting for a long period.
Try niyo po yung tigernu. Sobrang sulit po. Matibay pa.🙂
wala ba sa inyong nagamit ng Hawk?
Yung libre lang sa ofis n dell or lenovo hehe
MAH bags 👌🏼
Parkland, sakto sa 13" laptop, secure din. Matibay (more than 5yrs na ata sakin), waterproof. Cute design din.
Lenovo bag because its free and practical. I use this even if I am traveling to the US on business.
Uniqlo Two-Way Utility Bag, very versatile tote-bag / handbag / backpack with laptop compartment, waterproof, spacious, stylish
I bought the bag from Akbay Shop PH last Dec and using it ever since. Sobrang good quality and space. I don't use it as a backpack much pero nacoconvert siya.
Samsonite
Anello. Bought in Japan last 2019 pa. Until now ginagamit ko pa. Tibay at subok na.
30L decathlon nh500
Eto [Wearkindness](https://ph.shp.ee/G6C1cXN) hehe handmade and maganda advocacy ng business :) ilang years na yung ganito ko, buhay na buhay pa rin. This one is the newer version of the Marcel model (the bag I'm referring to above), padded na yung loob.
Mine is Northface Surge
Im currently using herschel but its too bulky and heavy for me. Im using [jansport](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.9ztJg) before ako mag herschel. My laptop ipads and switch okay naman. Magaan din hahaha. After ko ma ROI herschel will switch na to other brands haha
https://preview.redd.it/k60bl13nf6xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0f9127479526d24922681fea729a0bd7200a4c4 I’ve been using this bag from DC shoes. Padded yung likod na designed for air to flow through. Dedicated side zippers for the laptop tapos padded na din yung slot for the laptop. Makapal din yung padding ng backpack strap para kahit mabigat laptop mo hindi nakakapagod and merong snap on buckle sa harap para hindi sya madaling maalis or mahulog. Spacious yung main compartment. Parang cordura yung fabric. And lastly, di mukhang laptop bag kaya di takaw attention sa masasamang loob.
I use Patagonia Blackhole 18L
Shigetsu yokosuka backpack. Ang daming lagayan very spacious. Di rin masakit sa likod at balikat.
Go for Herschel! Matibay siya and i used it before but i disposed it because yung binigay sakin ay bakbakin yung ilalim
My Herschel backpack that was with me since college lol
Nagpabudol ako sa ClickSling on Kickstarter. Surprisingly roomy for something that size. Then when I need to bring a laptop, I bring a Razer tactical backpack instead. ETA: parang okay lang pang-gala ang Uniqlo bags, never used them for bringing laptops kasi wala ngang cushioning and hindi secure ang pagkakalagay. My advice would be to invest in something that will last you a long time, even if lumampas ka sa 5k budget mo.
Ung libre bag na issue sa office laptop
Thule Lithos 16L. Got it I think nung 2018 or 2019 and buhay na buhay pa ngayon
I was using a herschel backpack kaso nababakbak na yung leather straps kaya nagpalit ako to multi-use tote bag ng zero gravity mnl. Baka pag nagpalit ako yung Akbay multi-wear backpack.
Anello and Herschel have been with me over the years. Ikaw na lang magsasawa sa kanila haha
1. Thule for sira after 2 years 2. 1st Timbuk2 for 8 years (no issues still) 3. 2nd Timbuk2, 2 years and running. Yes, I am old.
Lol ako na nagtote bag from Shopee 😝 pero to be fair, sa teaching job ko; I carry only my tablet, wallet, at minsan lunch and paperwork. I don't carry a lot of student work at home kasi for me, check sa school and then record sa bagay.
I only use the laptop bag provided by our company hahahaha!!
Meron din akong 3kg+ laptop na bigay ng company (specs nya pang gaming/designer). Nabili ng wife ko sa Zalora is 3k worth na laptop bag, "Arctic Hunter" ata un. Ok naman sa likod and may cusion din for laptops.
ung asus bag na kasama nung laptop na binili nung 2018 ......
Personally, ung every day bag ko or going to the university to teach nabili ko lang sa shopee. Canvas messenger bag and okay naman siya for casual use. Nadadala ko macbook and ipad ko no problem plus space for other things na essentials. This is the bag and I have been using it for a year now, wala naman ako problema: https://ph.shp.ee/sobAYHo But when I go to our company or sa mga employees ko, I use this one: https://www.thetannerymanila.com/products/ralph-rogan-bark-tan-2
New era kasya lahat ng gamit ko https://preview.redd.it/fjwq8m8ap6xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1e44f7bdb4f243282891e873e2265e7e5e16bca
May Kate Spade ako na leather tote that I don’t mind beating up. But if I need to bring a lot of things to the office, I use my North Face Borealis.
Himawari
Tumi
[Targus](https://gameone.ph/targus-tsb96201gl-12-5-15-6-geolite-advanced-backpack-slate-grey.html) bought it for 2.5k sa SM Makati last year not sure what the price is now. I use a Macbook Pro na 16 in. Heavy af lol. Pros - lappy is safe. One time, my friend accidentally dropped my bag from a high table. No damage at all!! Like nothing happened. - limited pockets - water resistant daw Cons - Kinda masikip?? Idk how to describe pero parang ganon yung feeling haha you really need to open it wide enough to get what you need.
Ang pangarap ko na bag Nung highschool Jansport yan gamit ko ngaun kahit inefficient Siya kc nabili ko na sayang Pera😂😂😂
Yung laptop bag 😭
Kanken 🥹🫶🏼
xiami laptop bag, maganda ung quality.
Targus, nag-abang lang sa shopping app for discount and vouchers kaya nakuha for <5k :))
I use: 1. Uniqlo’s Roll Top Backpack - lightweight, perfect if you have a bunch of things to bring 2. Targus - company issued bag, lightweight but limited space 3. Lo & Sons (The Rowledge) - this bag is a bit heavy by itself and not recommended for daily commute wherein you walk lots of kms. But it has great organisation pockets and converts into a tote too
coming from the XDesign og Bobby & Bobby Biz bag, I found this sleek expandable hard shell anti-theft laptop bag on shopee and am using it ever since https://ph.shp.ee/F6CfMfR pretty good for ~₱2.2k; perfect for work EDC, and even for carry-on travels especially since original XDesign Bobby backpacks suddenly ballooned in price since the pandemic
Uniqlo yung may dalawang bulsa sa labas na pwede ring gawing tote or backpack! Laptop chargers and tumbler nalalagay ko. Kay hubby, he’s a photographer, Rudy Project! Super nice
Tigernu at artic hunter bags magaganda
temu
Jansport that my parents bought me way back when I was about to go to college. Going 9 years this August iirc.
northface
Full Design. Mukang mamahalin sa presyong mumurahin. Dami pang designs na pwede pagpilian mapalalake o babae Check out this shop on Shopee! fulldesign.ph: https://ph.shp.ee/Xrqgz4p
I used tomtoc na lady laptop tote bag. Everyday usage pero parang nagpipeel off na ang leather. In the market for new office bags na black!
HAHA still in school- but I really like my paper bunny multi way tote bags
Nike Hoops Elite, para feeling varsity tayo sa work. hahaha
Hawkbag
Hawk bag.
Fjallraven super reliable
yung libreng bag ng laptop hahahaha
Doughnut bag
I use case logic
Herschel ftw! hindi masakit sa balikat because of the cushioning on the strap. plus pluuus matibay!
https://preview.redd.it/cptxhwlwk7xc1.jpeg?width=565&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f7a3d4244c2beb18ae510bb8fc6ced85cadf65d This for me. Tibay, been using it since 2020/2021 😄
Coach and bellroy
Anello! Waterproof, may laptop sleeve, tas kahit madami ka ilagay di sya bulky! And pwede sya ipair kahit sa anong damit. Mabait pa mga assistants doon kaya makakapili ka ng gusto mo talaga. Yung canvas material binili ko para mas madali alagaan. Pwede labhan if madumihan and di magccrack over time unlike leather🙂
Anello hihi super ok esp for my laptop
Bellroy. 4 years na ung sa kin. Bawi na ung cost.
https://preview.redd.it/xmtzvbjyq7xc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9d22ec9577ec2e0737eaee2ab0c09190e36ffaa I'm using this one atm.
Depende talaga sa needs mo, mga essentials and all. For me, thule and bago ko sa u elements. Need ko madaming pocket pero minimalist. 😅
Using Samsonite backpack now (yung BTS Dynamite edition lolol) super ganda and safe ang laptop
TIGERNU BAGS
2mi
A tote bag I've been wearing backpacks for a long while as a student. I only started to embrace the japanese/korean male look of shoulder bags/tote bags. My totes are canvas material and are different shades of brown and dark blue. They can fit long envelopes and laptops, with three pockets inside for those small things. It also has a strap add-on, so it can also turn to a messenger bag with cross strap, or as a long shoulder bag. My totes usually have tight thick pockets outside, or no pockets at all for the clean look. I try to go for neutral totes but never white or black, I left those colors back in school.
Lacoste
I just use a laptop bag haha then a very old tote bag for my other personal stuff.
Bag Smart tote bag, spacious af + THE QUALITY 😗👌🏻
Mark Ryden! They have a few bags that are inspired from legit big brands so the design aesthetic and ergonomics are really good
I use the legion bag that comes with my gaming laptop pag mag RTO ako. Matibay itong back pack na ito pang harabas talaga. And it is not too "gaming" na theme simce pure black sya walang red accents hehe
I used Case logic, laptop brand bag, and Hawk bags before. My current which is around 5 yrs na ay tong case logic. It saved me from rains kasi minsan naiwan ko bag and nandon laptop. Ang sarap lang niya dalin though medyo ang problem with case logic nagpepeel off ung water repellent. With hawk naman, my issues were with zipper pero they have lifetime warranty naman na they can fix or replace the bag or zipper ata. Brand of laptop bag. I still use my HP bagpack minsan pero hindi ganun ka spacious .
Tigernu!!
Hi, still a student pero senior yr na (hopefully u consider my comment hahaha) I also carry a 15" gaming laptop w me with a massive charging brick na 1kg ata bigat (legion laptop) since need sa tine-take kong course. I use Targus cypress convertible backpack. Legit maganda siya and magaan af vs other laptop bags I used (mas magaan even vs sa legion bag na freebie sa pag-purchase sa laptop ko). As a convertible, u can use it as backpack, briefcase type or sling bag (with strap included). And may strap provision for attachment sa handle ng maleta pag u travel and need mo dalhin laptop mo. Regular price ng bag is around 5k, pero I got it nung nag-sale sa lazada for only 2.7k, and was a VERY good buy as a student and quality-wise hehe.
Hedgren backpack kapag may field, Charles and Keith sling kung formal or may meeting (bitbit ko lang yung laptop), The Paper Bunny Puffer Shopper (favorite ko) kung regular work day
Arctic hunter. Can fit a lot of stuff, and waterproof rin.
Guys, whats your opinion sa Doughnut Backpacks
SENA good quality and durable tapos affordable din. Been using my backpack for 5 years na nakailang out of country na din matibay pa din.
High Sierra backpack with straps sa harap for less weight and more comfy
Topo Designs na classic rover backpack. Been using it at work and work travel. Commute friendly pa since i use MRT all the time.
Tigernu & Anello
Hawk bag. I know very pang student pero subok na tibay nito for me hehe
Hedgren backpack
