1. L.A.M.B Westfield Tote
While I'm not usually a fan of L.A.M.B bags, this tote has really caught my eye and strikes the perfect balance. The shape of the bag is classic and the printed brown canvas is very sophisticated. The scarlet red patent trim adds an edge and sex appeal that makes it young and hip but still easy to carry and would work well at both school and work.15 x 15 inches is a great size and will hold smaller laptops like my Macbook. Although this isn't designed as a laptop bag, put your precious computer in a high quality laptop sleeve like the Booq Vyper and be a bit careful, you'll be fine.
Definitely nicer than the ubiquitous Oroton signature totes, the L.A.M.B Westfield Tote is available from shopbop.com for $575 US.
2. Rootote Tote Bags
Rootote are a Japanese company who make canvas bag with a signature zip pocket on the side of the bag for stashing small items for easy access like wallet/phone/tissues.
They come in lots of different prints and colours and sizes and there are pockets on the inside for organizing essentials.
This cute "Paris" tote sells for $15 US from yesstyle.com. Bargain!
3. Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy Messenger
This is a really cute bag, it gives off a very frenchy Chloé-esque vibe it would also be good for those trying for a casual/preppy look.
The white leather is a little impractical for me and the size is a little on the small size at 10 x 11 inches. However, it would make a great bag for someone who doesn't have to carry around a laptop and can look after white leather.
The absolute best thing about the bag though has to be the absolutely adorable lining, too cute ^_^
4. Not Rational Amy Bag
I love the urban look of this bag. The wrinkled, slightly distressed leather gives a wonderful lived in feel and the shape reminds me somewhat of an old pilot's flight bag.
This bag is made to be used, there are plenty of pockets and the optional strap allows it to be carried as both a messenger and as a shoulder bag. There's nothing delicate or pretty about this bag but it has its own sense of character and urban chic. I can imagine it working really well to set off the feminine details on an outfit or to work the rock chick look.

5. Louis Vuitton Neverfull
If you like Louis Vuitton and don't mind seeing your bag on 11 other people everyday, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull is a great choice. It's relatively cheap for LV and it really can hold a lot of stuff.
Although the handles seem a bit thin, they can reportedly hold up to 231 lbs of weight so the bag is definitely sturdy but also quite light.
There's only one zipper pocket on the inside though so you might have to dig around for some of your things that have fallen to the bottom.
Call Louis Vuitton on 1300 883 880 for prices and more info.
NB: All sites mentioned ship to Australia. Yay!
