Messenger bag advice

[LEVENDIZ]

Just brought an 11 inch MacBook Air and need a messenger to take to school. It has to fit an A4 exercise book (pretty thick one), school diary (is a bit bigger then an iPad Mini, small pencil case, iPad Mini with a little room to spare.

If anyone has a bag that can fit all this and would recommend it thanks, i'd like to have an option between leather and fabric.

Thanks, LEVz

I have fancier bags, but the Timbuk2 bag is the one I use most often...

I recently picked up a Ogio Hip Hop bag for my work gear, its pretty awesome.

I'm a big fan of the Tom Bihn ID Bag with the Brain Cell insert.

I'm rather fond of my Jack Daniels messenger bag which has a leather look, very subtle logo, and came free with purchase of 3 bottles.

Normally I wouldnt do this, but this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1220990/ has a wealth of information on bags and sleeves.

Timbuk2 all the way. You can order a custom one and it can be as plain as you want.

Dedicated laptop storage plus a place for your iPad.

I have a merrell bag (daily brief) Comes in Black on their site but you can get it in Khaki on other sites, it's nice and only $99

Merrell now has another bag as well for $109. I've been a fan of merrell products for a while now.

Just noticed you're not in the USA....not sure what your options are for this anyway.

I've got this Patagonia bag: http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/half-mass-messenger-bag?p=48315-0-361

Has a separate laptop compartment and lots of pockets. Worked very well so far.

I have just a straight black bag. Plain, subtle, there when I need it. Not looking to attract attention.

Thanks all for the generous amounts of replies and suggestions, i have seen the bag thread before and really didn't see much i liked. Crumpler bags look awesome found this one i like http://www.crumpler.com/AU/Laptop-B...uander.html?LanguageCode=EN&SKU=CQR001-X01150 wish they came in black though.

Anyway i'll post back here when i make up my mind on something
