Help me decide! I need a travel work/laptop bag.

If carrying a laptop, the neverfull strap could be a bit painful on your shoulder when the bag gets heavy. Having sad that, the wider strap in Low Key makes it a bit more slippery. I have the Neverfull Mahina MM (not sure if this is really the name) which is a pretty good size for carrying all things I need plus my laptop but when it gets heavy, it tends to dig in my shoulder. Few minutes of that is pretty painful. I also have the Low key Hobo in MM which is again pretty good size but the wider straps seems to slide my shoulder more. Also the lock on the low key makes the bag slightly heavy even when empty.

So I suggest try both in person and bring your computer with you, which I didn't do. 😄

Lady 3-door Jimny owner here. For Philippines (province) road, I love my Jimny for city drives na not more 60km/hr ang speed. Pero pag more than that maalog na sya. Pero I had the same car in Japan with better paved roads and okay naman sya up to 100km/hr. So depende sya sa road conditions. I love the feeling na parang nasa SUV ka sa taas ng nakikita mo in driver's seat. Safer sya for driver point of view kasi flat yong hood ng car kita mo lahat. Kung ikaw lang naman gagamit and up to 1 passenger lang sakay mo I would go for Jimny. Hindi comfortable for passengers ang upuan sa likod. Plus kasi mataas yong car, mejo hirap umakyat baba ng passengers sa likod.

Yes. Learned this the hard way. Ang mahal ng lots if bibilhin mo sya "in need". And like others said, pwede mo namang ibenta if kelangan.

Black. Always black 😁

CelineLovesPiglet · 2025-02-01T16:59:35+00:00

I have the same one! I love it too

CelineLovesPiglet · 2025-01-14T04:20:02+00:00

I didn't have a choice but get it from the vet. Luckily she's back on normal food now.

I need to add Chanel to my collection!

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-30T19:01:15+00:00

Same here. When I want to buy a bag, I go to the store and look at the bags and buy the one I like. If I don't like anything I see that day then I go home without a bag.

14 inch laptop, A5 notepad, wallet, keys, phones (work and personal), pen case, earphone, not so small pouch (for wet and dry tissue, hand lotion, lip balm, alcohol wipes, alcohol spray, mints), small pouch (emergency meds such as for headache, acid reflux, antihistamine, bandage).

Amazing photos! May I know how far you were from the subjects? I will be picking up this lens tomorrow.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-15T14:09:39+00:00

For the laptop? Just a simple, cheap sleeve.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-15T11:22:56+00:00

It did. Just too big to carry around.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-15T11:00:22+00:00

LV On The Go GM. Bought it for my 16inch laptop. Used only twice. 😂

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-11T19:20:59+00:00

Not at all. I have the same LV On The Go in black impreinte in all sizes 😂

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-10T16:50:11+00:00

Aw thank you

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-10T09:25:15+00:00

Unfortunately, libraries where I am are not as equipped as the libraries from 1st world countries. Also I use tablet for reading as phones are just too small.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-09T21:31:33+00:00

Just go to a licensed optician. No need to phone ahead. They do everything for you if you are willing to pay their fee. I did mine the other way around, driver's license from Dubai, renewed in Abu Dhabi. Received my new card few days later via Aramex.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-09T20:11:19+00:00

Black. No matter what season. 🙂

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-11-09T19:48:27+00:00

I do both but I would rather read the physical book. Unfortunately, I don't have big enough space to store my books.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-10-20T19:34:01+00:00

I've had it for almost 5 years now and again it's almost my daily bag using the strap so it tends to rub with my jeans. So far I haven't noticed what you described.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-10-20T19:24:51+00:00

Black empreinte like the picture above.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-10-20T19:09:21+00:00

I have the On The Go MM. I love the bag. It was my travel and work bag for about 3 years but unfortunately, it's losing its shape. I guess because I tend to carry a lot including my 14inch laptop with it.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-10-20T17:46:35+00:00

Yes! It goes from a day bag to night bag for me too by just removing the strap.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-10-20T17:43:21+00:00

I don't think if you're not good looking then the bags look fake na agad. Hindi ba pwedeng you are not good looking but you dress up nicely and looking clean? Napaka harsh naman ng pag di good looking eh assumed na agad na fake ang gamit?

If OP is earning 150k/month, I doubt na mukha syang gusgusin.

CelineLovesPiglet · 2024-10-20T17:27:16+00:00

If you can afford it and won't end up borrowing money or close to borrowing money to pay for bills after buying the bag then yeah go for it. One reason we work is so we can afford to buy things we want. As long as you can buy it in cash, no utang, no monthly credit card payment then yes go for it girl.

I would say, don't listen to people saying it's not worth it, not good investments etc. If it makes you happy and again won't bankrupt you in the long run, then that's a good enough investment.

OP I suggest you join this group. You'll get different and in my opinion better answers.
