Analyst office bag?

Hi, incoming first-year analyst here and I definitely don't want to bring in my Northface backpack I used during SA lol. Would appreciate any recommendations for laptop backpacks or office bags. Thanks.

Backpacks for me big no, if your wearing a suit definitely a big no (burn the backpack) get an over arm bag 💼 like that with a strap (you know what I mean) Leather, try to find a high quality one( medium range) Can always tell when something is cheap.

I got one, dark brown leather €110, excellent quality still have it to this day and use it daily with lots of books, laptop and files..

Don’t look like a ridiculous clown man child and wear a backpack with a suit.
