Could I carry this?

Mandy · Kate Spade

i think you'll be fine. i don't see anything that would make it particularly man-ish. you'll have a very professional woman look with that.

I agree with Mandy. Its very professional looking.

i love it!

my boss, who is a man, has that same bag in dark choclolate brown leather. it looks great and he has had it for a while (so he tells me.).

i think it is non-gender specific- so you're safe!

if you want something different though- my other coworker just scored the nicest black brief from Franklin Covey for $150 that is for her laptop and files. i loved it too.

i really like it. i don't think it looks to manish either. it also looks like one of those bags that will look better and better as it gots more worn. great buy !

rlutz · Chanel

I love it....I definitely think you can caryy it...def not to manly at all

uesgirl · BCBG

I think it is very nice and a woman could definitely pull it off. One thing though-- how big/heavy is your laptop? Since that bag doesn't have a shoulder strap, it might get very heavy after you're carrying it for a while.

Great buy! It seems very gender neutral to me.you will look great carrying it.

oooo good call. my lap-top/work bag has handles that allow me to carry it on my shoulder... those lap-tops get HEAVY by the end of the day... my shoulder is still smarting from today and i dropped my bag on the floor an hour ago!
