Certainly more formal than the French Connection waxed canvas bag or even the still impressive J. Crew rugged twill messenger, this Doctor’s bag from Original Penguin is big enough to hold a laptop, and smart enough to work as your daily work brief.
At 16″ wide with a padded laptop sleeve this thing might have a retro shape but it was built for the modern worker bee. Dual leather top handles keep the bag balanced, and a shoulder strap is detachable.
There are two outer zip pockets (one on each side obviously) with the Original Penguin logo showing up in the tonal leather color on just one of them. Great color scheme, interesting silhouette, and not too big of an investment at $130.00

Question. If you had to pick, which one would you use as your day to day work bag? The Original Penguin? Or the already mentioned J. Crew Rugged Twill:
