Nice stylish bag?

I'm going to uni in a bit over a week and I need a school bag. I've had the generic roots one over the years ( bought 1 every year since they keep falling apart). Was wondering if any of you know of a nice stylish backpack I can buy? Can be two strap or a messenger, doesn't really matter. Just has to fit my 15 inch rMbp.
I quite like
Superdry Classic Tarp Backpack - Men's Bags
and
Superdry Tarpaulin Laptop Bag - Men's Bags
but I really like superdry...
budget is roughly $100 ish?

Tip for freshmen going to college - Do not wait infront of the class before it actually starts. Not only does it create congestion for other students trying to get to their classes, but it also slows down the students who just ended their class and want to leave.

A Herschel backpack?

I used a MEC backpack throughout undergrad and will probably continue using it for grad school. They're built really well and are pretty sturdy. Not that stylish though.

which school going to? If it is BCIT I suggest a backpack like Dakine Backbag. You will be carrying a lot of books in that bag so you need something that's big and comfy to use.

+1 for Dakine bags. Not really stylish, but durable for sure.

Just to let you know if you don't know, if you order from the SuperDry website you'll get charged with ridiculous customs etc because shipped by DHL. It's approx half of the value of your items. I don't really like backpacks I like the duffel bag look: Buy Tarp Large Rucksacl Kitbag Men's Accessories from Superdry. Find Superdry fashions & more at DrJays.com

Duffle bags/messenger bags are nice if you only have to carry a binder or a laptop. Once you start carrying books and larger items across the UBC campus you'll regret it. It's really bad for your back and shoulders.

If you only carry your rMBP and a clipboard with some paper then any bag would work.
I would suggesting looking anything that is water resistant and can take a beating.

Try timbuk2. It is a bit more than your price range but yeah.
Timbuk2 Bags

its university no1 cares about being stylish except freshmen and you won't very quickly

heck you could lug around a garbage bag with your books and no1 would notice

with regard to the bags you posted they seem great for high school a little much for uni if you go with either of them go with the all black

I really like the Lululemon backpacks the wet coast pack | men's bags | lululemon athletica. I got mine as a gift two years ago and it's definitely the most durable backpack I've ever used.

Looking for a nice brown leather bag for my laptop/work.

Dark brownish colour that goes well with business casual attire.

Preferably something that hides all the branding. Simple clean nice design is what i'm looking for.


Something familiar to Mike Ross from SUITS is sick.
Suggestions?
