The Urban Junket Judith is a croco-textured, double-handled tote perfect for work, weekends, and life. It includes a padded laptop sleeve that holds laptops up to 10″ x 14″ x 1 1/2″. The interior of the bag is fully lined and there are pockets on the interior and exterior for everything from cords, phones, pens, and glasses to keys and even a water bottle.

what’s the most interesting feature of this bag is that the outer pocket (or pouchette as they call it) detaches to be used as a handbag on its own. What a great idea! Now when you’re headed to work with your laptop and you know you’re also going out to lunch later, you don’t need to carry two separate bags.

Find the Urban Junket Judith at eBags for $693.

Well, yes and no. Yes, you can find large totes that you can carry your laptop in (preferably protected in its own padded laptop sleeve) or you can find women’s laptop bags and totes with built in laptop sleeves. However, a satchel or a hobo that fits your computer might be a tall order especially if you want to carry other items like makeup bag, cell phone, keys, wallet, and hairbrush in the same bag.

So that’s why the answer to whether or not laptop handbags are out there is not a definite yes or no. It depends on your definition of “handbag”. I would argue that women’s laptop totes are a type of laptop handbag especially when they are produced by traditional handbag brands. For instance, Anuschka makes lovely hand-painted handbags, but did you know they also offer a lovely hand-painted leather laptop case? Even laptop bag brands are making cases that lean more toward the fashion tote side than your average black business case.

Check out some of our favorite “laptop handbags” below.

 eenamaria aka designer Sarah Morgan, just completed a three week Fashion Week tour, that covered five countries!! Try that one on for size, only to return and to an event every night for four nights, and as I sit and write this at midnight, I can tell you……its been amazing.

 After today’s presentation to Parson’s with interior designer Jamie Drake and this evening’s Fashion Show at Cipriani’s, it is amazing I’m still going. So, to pictures, let’s get started….

 OK, we showed the collection with NOLCHA at New York Fashion Week, here’s a sneak peak:

Over the years I’ve purchased (or collected depending who you ask) over a hundred handbags- black, white, color block, tote, satchel, clutch, you name it and I own it. I’ve never had to defend my passion for the all-mighty and versatile carry-alls until just recently. My fiancé, Marc Jacobs bless his soul, asked not why I had so many bags, but what was the need for so many black bags! Surely he must jest, but alas he was serious. So, this is why today I bring you “Revenge of The Black Bag”… pass it along to your male  friends, it will educate and enlighten them and make your shopping career that much more acceptable.

The Bag: Linea Pelle Dylan Zip Tote 

The Occasion: Travel and or City Excursions  

Why this bag is so fabulous: This beautifully constructed leather handbag adorned with high quality shiny gold hardware is so versatile and perfect for hitting the city pavement. Don’t enjoy strolling the city streets in your stilettos? With this black bag you have the opportunity to throw your pumps in the bag and cruise the streets in whichever comfy shoes you prefer. Maybe you have some paperwork you need to store with you as well? You don’t need an outdated briefcase, just put your documents into this tote which conveniently divides your pumps and your paperwork. Now you’re prepared for that business meeting without looking too business. The other fabulous thing about this great black bag is it’s functionality. With zippered pockets galore and interior swag it’s easy for you to carry all of your needs from your cell to shoes to paperwork and even the kitchen sink!

The Bag: Big Bhudda Soho

The Occasion: Winter Wear!! 

Why this bag is so fabulous: Although “the” fashion rules (you know the ones that your mother still follows, like no white after Labor Day) are beginning to bend, fade away, and just fall off; it’s still a fact that the most appropriate season to carry your suede bag is during the winter season. Since you are only supposed carry this bag four months out of the year then it’s absolutely pertinent to put all your other black bags on hold. It may not be as multi-functional as the Linea Pelle Dylan Zip Tote, but that’s the point, this bag is about being fashionable and standing out, not about functionality- not to say that this sueded beauty doesn’t have great interior pockets and an exterior back zipped pocket. This bag speaks to the current trend- gold hardware, delicate fringe, and of course soft suede.

The Bag: Madison Jessi Patent Shoulder Bag

The Occasion: Rainy Weather

Why this bag is so fabulous: Don’t let gloomy weather keep you inside, with this patent bag you don’t have to shy away from those rain drops anymore! Feel free to step our doors feeling confident that not only will your bag look sleek and sexy as the water slides right off, but know that your bag itself and it’s belongings are fully protected. Patent materials are the most fashionable rain coat for you bag. So let’s say that the skies are clear and it’s just a normal day at the office followed by cocktails with the girls. Don’t want to switch out bags pre-cocktails or don’t have the time? Well, the best part about patent is that it’s a great night to day bag. Not only is black patent uber fashion forward during the day, but it’s also a great piece to wear when you’re out for some after hours cocktails!

Now that we’ve covered the basic it’s time to go off and browse the plethora of bags carried on handbags.com and find another perfect black bag for you!
