Murse Wanted
Filed Tuesday, May 19 2009.

For the past few years, I've carried a Ghurka bag to work:

Which, I've always thought, was a reasonably fashionable alternative to a laptop bag.

Jess, however, thinks otherwise. I'd always written that off as a minor disagreement in taste. At least until last week, when we were out with a fashion designer friend of hers, who literally burst into hysterical laughter at the sight of the bag.

So, in short, I'm now on the search for a replacement.

I already own a Jack Spade messenger bag, which is perfectly suited to weekend jaunts. But it doesn't fit my laptop, and carrying it slung across the chest quickly crushes a pressed suit.

What I'm looking for, then, is a laptop-friendly (in case it matters, a 15" MacBook Pro), work-appropriate bag. Ideally one with handles, and a strap I can wear over just one shoulder when needed. One with room for documents and other odds and ends along with the computer. And, most importantly, one that's suitably fashionable - equal parts British preppy and New England outdoorsy WASP. Or, at least, one that doesn't look like it might best be paired with a pith helmet.

Lazy-web, please let me know.
