What Kind of Bag Do You Carry to Client Meetings?

Hi everyone,

Curious to know—what type of bag do you typically carry to client meetings?

I’m moving between offices and sometimes visiting startup clients, so I need something that:

  • Looks professional (nothing too flashy),
  • Holds my laptop, charger, notebook, and a small portfolio,
  • Is durable enough for daily use.

Do most of you go with slim leather messenger bags, classic briefcases, or tech-savvy backpacks? Any favorites brands or setups you swear by?

Would appreciate your real-world recommendations
