Leather Work Bags for a 13–16-inch Laptop

Start with the laptop

Measure the closed laptop and add 4–5 cm (about 2 in). A 13-inch laptop needs a tote about 36 cm (14.2 in) wide, a 16-inch one 42 cm (16.5 in) or more.

Which bag takes which laptop

• Carolyn Medium, 40 × 26 × 14 cm (15.7 × 10.2 × 5.5 in): up to 13 inches; a 15-inch laptop does not fit.

Weight and handles

Carolyn Large and Object №03 Large weigh 1700 g (3.7 lb) empty, Carolyn Medium 1250 g (2.8 lb). Jane weighs 700 g (1.5 lb). Handle drops of 25–31 cm (9.8–12.2 in) put each one on the shoulder. None has a padded compartment, so carry the laptop in a sleeve. More in our guide how to choose a leather tote for work.
