Leather briefcase under $250?
I really like the Fossil Asher leather briefcase but $395 is out of my price range. Can MeFites recommend a similar brown leather briefcase that is under $250? I would like to buy from a company that pays workers fairly and has safe working conditions. Leather alternatives are fine. (Unfortunately, MeFi favorite Tom Bihn is a little too casual for my work environment(s).)
Looking for a pool bag, the biggest snowflake unicorn kind
It's summer! We're going to the pool! We can't find a single pool bag that meets our, to our mind, reasonable parameters. Maybe you know a good big one? [more inside]
Best duffle with backpack straps for a smallish person?
To reduce back pain I'd like to switch from a shoulder strap duffle bag to one with backpack straps. I'm suddenly overwhelmed by all the different options. What duffles with backpack straps do shorter-statured MeFites like? And if I travel with a 50L shoulder strap duffle now, should I expect that a 50L backpack duffle will also do the job or look into a different size? [more inside]
Backpack for EDC
Favourite backpack broke. Sad. Need new one. Must be 18-25L, laptop compartment, blue or green, external water bottle side pocket, good internal organisation e.g. pen holders, smaller pockets, not too outdoorsy, not too formal, water resistant and handsome looking. Not much to ask for? Any price is a good price.
The perfect commuter bag for a short person
I am struggling to find a good work backpack or tote that will allow me to carry everything I want (laptop, heels, lunch, coffee mug, etc) and have an accessible secure pocket (metro card, badge, wallet, phone, AirPods) AND not be huge or ugly on someone who is 5'1". [more inside]
Takeout on a rear bike frame
I have a new ebike, with an integrated rear cargo rack. What's the best bag/crate/tie-down setup to make it so I can strap a couple of takeout containers to it & get them home alright? I'm sure this isn't a new concept, but I'm missing the right phrases to search & find results, so I come to here. [more inside]

Don't Shoot the Messenger (Bag)
I'm in need of a 9-10 liter messenger bag and I can't find one that's quite what I want. AskMe seems to love this sort of question, though, so here goes! [more inside]
Zip Flat Backpack
About 20 years ago while hosteling through Europe, I saw someone who had a backpack that zipped flat and both sides had mesh covers so nothing shifted around. It wasn’t as big as a frame backpack, but was bigger than a typical school bag. Where can I find something similar? The zip flat with mesh dividers covering both sides is what I’m after. Thank you!
Looking for a practical bag that fits these weird criteria
I'm looking for a practical bag that fits the following quite weird criteria. It must hold a cylinder that's 7.5" in diameter and 5" tall in its own dedicated compartment. It must be easy to carry messenger-bag-style and reasonably water resistant. You get bonus points for any of the following: a separate compartment that fits a pair of sneakers; a compartment that would fit a few diapers or t-shirts; a water bottle holder on the outside; a cell phone pocket on the outside.

I've used the same old LL Bean book bag for everything for years. It's falling apart! I'm trying to find something to replace it that's a bit nicer, but as ever, buying a replacement backpack is a trial. [more inside]
Dry-thru bag for a bathing suit?

Another person in search of another perfect bag.
I need to carry my 16" MBP with me pretty much constantly for the next several months. I'm looking for a bag (or two) that aren't conspicuous that I can use as I go about my day-to-day life. The bags need to be able to carry my laptop, charger, a notebook, and a small case with pens + headphones. [more inside]

Can’t find this bag I really need for a hospital trip
I found a specific backpack somewhere online and was waiting to buy it til I had a little more money.

I don’t remember the brand, but… [more inside]

What's the perfect Alaska bag?
Celebrating my second vaxx with a 10 day trip to Alaska. Some hotel stuff. Some train stuff. Some boat stuff. Some dirt road stuff. This is not a job for my trusty wheeled carryon. What's the right bag for this journey? Duffel? Backpack? Leather? Lightweight? UNLEASH THE HOUNDS OF RECOMMENDATION

Minimalist laptop-on-bike carry
I've recently started biking to work and have been experimenting with ways to carry my stuff. At this point everything I need fits in a small trunk bag that sits on my rear rack - except for my work laptop (15" Macbook Pro). What's the best way to carry this one last piece? Do slimline, laptop-and-not-much-else panniers exist? How about lightweight, small (but not too small for my laptop), NON-SWEATY backpacks/messenger bags? [more inside]
Seeking a small bag that I can't lose
I had a small pouch that I fill with those little things (tissues, pills, lipstick, etc) that I could just move from one bag to another. And I lost it. I need another, but I think one with a clip that I can attach to my bag would be better. Does anyone know where I can get one? [more inside]

Does the tote bag I'm looking for exist?
I'm trying to find a tote bag with specific features, namely: boxy in shape (i.e. not tapered at the top), zippered top, roughly 15 to 20 liters in volume, uncomplicated design, neutral or vaguely-masculine style. I want something I can carry everyday to a casual office, pack with clothes for an overnight trip, or take with me on a plane (preferably stowed under the seat). Can you help me find one?

What's in your bag - at a museum?
What's in your bag at a museum, that you a) do not want cloaked
and/or b) do not want to dig out of your bag at the counter and proceed to carry around in the plastic bag they offer you?
Am trying to get our local children's natural history museum to change it's "no backpacks" policy to address the actual issue of bulk, i.e. "no bags over X size". I'd also like better options than carrying around a plastic bag. [more inside]
What's in the sack?
I like reading Everyday Carry blogs and seeing pictures of what is inside people's pockets and bags. Everyday Carry leans very male and very weapons/survivalist oriented. Are there any places online that do a similar thing but with purses, or car trunks, or work backpacks? Less zombie apocalypse and more practical weird-stuff-i-use-daily type things?

Plastic bags, the more sustainable choice? Break it down please...
Like many municipalities, my town and state are both in the process of trying to pass a ban on single-use plastic bags. Opposers of the ban keep putting forward a handful of life cycle analysis studies of paper vs. plastic vs. cloth reusable bags that find that plastic bags had the least impact on the environment. While I understand the complexities of LCA study and recognize these are mostly government studies and not likely plastic-lobby bias, my strong feeling is that when all forms of impact are considered, plastic is still a net negative. I want to be able to point out the limitations of these studies. What do they miss or exclude? [more inside]
How much should I worry about a snap closure for a bag/purse?
I am looking for a largish bag that can be carried as a shoulder bag (at my waist/hips, not next to my chest) or as a cross-body. I've found one I like but it has a snap closure, visible for example in the 4th and 5th pictures here. [more inside]

Shoulder bag with hand handle...
Do you know of any alternatives to this bag?
It's just a shoulder bag but the handle on the top is important to me. Available in the UK, ideally less expensive than this.
Thanks!

Automatic kitchen trash disposal solution?

What is THE best travel laptop purse/backpack?
I've got a new job that requires travel every week. I need a laptop purse/bag that can be my home office on the road.

What's the cheapest way to ship an empty suitcase from Sweden?
I bought a brand new suitcase for 600 bucks. Aluminum. Because I had important stuff in it that I didn't want crushed. On the inaugural flight to Sweden the airline lost it for a week. Good news? My stuff is fine. Bad? They crunched the wheel and handle. So I need to send it back from Sweden to Davis CA for repair. (nope, nowhere closer) So if I don't care how long it takes, what's the cheapest way to do it?
