The Best Laptop Bags in Canada

According to Marie Claire, “the Zip Top Transport Leather Carryall tote bag is the perfect size to carry laptop, charger, and miscellaneous beauty products that are usually littered at the bottom of a bag. The straps are very durable and hold up when wearing it as a crossbody, the best part is the adjustable strap belt!”

The Madewell Carryall laptop bag is designed to make a daily commute to work more comfortable, keeping all essentials safely in place thanks to the zip closure. What makes it an ideal laptop carrier for a working woman is its classy, minimal look, and adjustable shoulder strap. The clean, simple appearance of the bag makes it easy to style with office attire. Meanwhile an adjustable shoulder strap is designed to be slung over your shoulder for convenient carrying. If, however, you do not wish to hang the bag on your shoulder, the Madewell Carryall provides another option which is top carry handles.   

Here is what a satisfied customer said about this bag, “This is a lovely bag, very simple and minimalistic. Plenty of space to carry your lunch and/or laptop to work without looking like you are carrying a duffel bag.” She added that it is big enough to use as an overnight bag, but not too big or heavy for your daily carry. It goes with just about any outfit and looks nice without stealing the show. The leather and zipper are of good quality. Beyond all of this, she gets tons of compliments on it.  

The Madewell leather bag is durable and easy to clean. Just wipe it occasionally with a soft cloth to remove dust and fingerprint marks.   

Solo Duane’s laptop bag attracted our attention with its ability to convert into a backpack from a briefcase and vice versa. While, at the first glance, it looks like a standard briefcase bag, you can always turn it into a backpack whenever you need to free your hands, and convert it back into a messenger as soon as you want to look more formal.   

Besides such a convenient feature, the Solo Duane bag has a stylish, modern design. “Inspired by the exciting buzz of Lower Manhattan, this collection channels a downtown spirit into stylishly laid-back bags complementing the urban lifestyle. It is stylish with an ever-cool black and grey colour pallet or confident, classic look of the black and tan,” says the brand.   

But it is not only about looks and functionality. The Solo Duane messenger offers a padded compartment for 15.6-inch MacBook Pro or Dell XPS 15-size laptops, as well as a large front pocket to organize other tech devices. Moreover, a pair of pockets for wallet, keys and phone offer easy access to your essentials.  

A satisfied customer noted that the material of the briefcase feels durable. Padding on the inside feels great – it fits his 15.6-inch laptop with ease. The organization was also easy with the pockets. Another day when it was raining, he noticed water droplets were just rolling off this bag. He also recommended it to his coworkers – the bag was better than expected. 

Ravuo messenger is another high-quality, water-resistant canvas laptop satchel. Although it is stated as a men’s bag, we find the style unisex for it is perfect for college or business for both men and women.   

What makes this Ravuo bag especially useful is two strong buckles on the flap: a little extra detail to secure all your valuables. Besides those two buckles the large zipper closure provides double security for your laptop and wallet.  

This satchel bag, unlike Solo Duane, offers fourteen pockets to store all your essentials separately, without the necessity to carry another purse. Overall, you get one zipper pocket on the flap to store the laptop, two front pockets under the flap for small items, one large zipper pocket with eight card slots, two pen sleeves, one key chain and two side pockets for the power bank, one back zipper pocket with leather clasp.  

Although you cannot convert this bag into a backpack, the adjustable shoulder strap allows you to carry it as a shoulder or crossbody bag.   

As a customer noted, he was surprised at the quality of the bag for the price. (The company even included a notecard that mentions a one-year quality warranty.) All the details and stitching are perfect and the zippers seem durable and of high quality, he added.  

We keep discussing the best laptop bags for men, and this KomalC is a vintage-inspired satchel, made from high-quality leather.

It is a known fact that small brands, compared to the mass-market, care for their reputation more by delivering a product of outstanding quality. KomalC is not an exception. It is a small family business based in Chicago, Illinois. Their passion is in designing exquisite handmade leather accessories.

This 16 Inch Buffalo Leather briefcase is not an exception. As one customer said, he searched for and looked at many bags for his commute to work and this one is the best. It is very well-made and is exactly what he was hoping for when he bought it. He added that the KomalC bag provides enough room for his MacBook Pro (15”) and IPad Pro (12.9”) as well as other things.

According to many other reviewers it is easy to sling around your body or just carry on your shoulder.

What we love the most about this briefcase is how durable it is. Just like leather that is meant to age gracefully, the stitching and clasps were finished with lastingness in mind. Due to its timeless and classy design, as well as quality, you can expect to use this laptop satchel for years to come.

If you are willing to spend a little more on a laptop/work bag, this tote from Tory Burch is an elegant, sophisticated option. The feminine style and high-quality supple leather make this Perry tote bag a choice number one for many ladies working in an office environment.   

According to Wirecutter, “The Tory Burch Perry Triple-Compartment Tote Bag is pricey, but it makes up for that with its refined stitching, supple leather, and structured design. The stitching on ours was perfect and did not fray, the leather felt luxuriously smooth, and the upright design never slouched or tipped.”

Tory Burch designers made sure to create a functional bag while keeping it simple. The Perry tote comes with four interior compartments: one center zipper pocket for a laptop and three open pockets for small items. Overall, unlike most tote bags (even designer ones) this one has more organizational structure due to various compartments.   

This Tory Burch bag is refreshing and different, said a satisfied customer, it is larger than its competitors. It has unique colours (pick from six options). If you want a bag that is different and subtly beautiful, sturdy, and spacious, then this one is for you, she added. 

There is no denying that a backpack, a satchel or a tote, especially made from canvas are convenient and durable to wear. They are also more casual looking than leather and can be used by both students and office workers. Yet, if you are looking for a strictly professional laptop bag that has a formal appearance and would look good at any corporate meeting or office environment, then look no further.   

Fossil Haskel laptop bag is made of high-quality leather which is durable, ages well and looks elegant. As one customer noted, the Haskell bag looks nice and is not too heavy. It fits in his laptop with room to spare. He also loves all the zippers and compartments: useful to store a laptop, paper files and folders, a cellphone, wallet and other essentials.  

The bag can easily fit a 15” laptop in a padded pocket. Besides, you can place other items around the bag in one zip pocket, two slide pockets, and elastic loops for pens.  

Even though it is a formal-looking, professional laptop bag, it is comfortable to carry around with one adjustable and detachable crossbody strap and two handles.   

Yes, the Hitch Coach backpack comes at a higher price tag, yet it offers so many practical and stylish features that we decided to include it in the list. This backpack combines the classic style of leather bag and the functionality of modern gear. In fact, due to the versatility, size and quality of this backpack, you can take it anywhere from the workplace to a weekend getaway.   

The Hitch backpack is crafted of soft sport calf leather which does not only look sophisticated but ages well are easy to clean, and is a durable, yet soft-to-touch material. But, besides its pleasant appearance and a comfortable lightweight style, this backpack has thought-through space.  

You can easily fit your 15” laptop in an inner sleeve, while interior multifunction pockets are designed to hold smaller items. Moreover, there are two large exterior side pockets for easy access to such essentials as your passport, wallet or cellphone. As one customer noted, he took the Hitch backpack on a business trip. He loves pockets, roomy compartments and lightweight wear. This will be his go-to travel carry-on for laptops and other work accessories, the customer added. 

A customer who wanted something small yet functional for air travel said that this eBag laptop backpack is perfect for her. The bag has lots of well-laid-out pockets. She noted it takes a bit of getting used to the side opening of the compartments, but no issue once you get used to it. The fabric is excellent, she added.  

If you are an active traveler, and often take your laptop to work on the plane, there is no better backpack than this eBag Professional. Besides travelers, students and office workers with a casual dress code find this bag useful. The backpack, despite its compact size, offers tons of secure compartments. No wonder it is called Professional Slim.   

Unlike most laptop bags, this backpack’s laptop sleeve can fit a 17” device. Meanwhile, a crushproof AC-adapter garage and a front vertical zippered pocket offer security and convenience.  

Another feature that makes this backpack an ideal travel companion is the Teflon-coated design: the exterior material repels water effectively protecting your laptop and other belongings. And lastly, the space is so well organized you will forget about trying to dig out headphones or a snack from the bottom of the bag.  

Compared to the eBag Professional Slim backpack this Volher comes at a lower price, yet with some extra functions. The reason many professionals choose it for business travel is, first of all, a built-in USB charger that can be found on the outside. (It also includes a built-in USB charger on the inside.) This feature is especially appreciated by anyone who spends a lot of time on work commuting: charge your phone while walking, flying or riding.   

The Volher laptop backpack is made of water-resistant durable polyester fabric: expect long-lasting usage and protection of your valuable belongings. Besides those convenient features, the backpack has a stylish, modern and minimal aesthetic.  

Speaking of the storage compartments, the only factor it concedes to the eBag backpack is a smaller size laptop sleeve (15”). Other than that, you can pack an iPad, charger, books and other items in one spacious packing compartment. Mesh pockets on both sides are designed for water bottles and anything you need quick access to.   

Favourite among many students, the classic Kånken is not only for textbook carrying. Thanks to the padded pocket, the backpack becomes a computer bag. The padding protects your laptop from jostling and scratching. Speaking of padding, the shoulder straps have soft layering which makes them comfortable to carry all day long around campus and during commuting.   

Moreover, Fjällräven Kånken is made from hard-wearing Vinylon F material. It proved durability through years of wearing. Add to it a stylish design and an ultimate size that fits a 15” laptop, textbooks and notepads.   

A customer noted that the Kanken 15″ is seriously the perfect size backpack for school. Whenever she goes on vacation, this is the backpack she packs all her things in it because it is so roomy. It fits a normal-sized water bottle in the side pockets, which the classic Kanken cannot. This also has padded straps, so if you have really heavy books your shoulders won’t hurt. Overall, this is the perfect backpack to get if you are struggling to find a backpack for school, she promises.
