Here’s a comprehensive test of 19 of the hottest large bags to see which ones can fit a laptop! We tested both 13-inch and 15-inch models, exploring options from brands like Dior, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Goyard, and more. Whether you’re looking for a stylish tote or a practical work bag, find out which ones can handle your tech and daily essentials with ease.
Since these are all large bags, we tested them using what everyone cares about the most: laptops!
Not only did we use the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but we also checked if these bags could fit a 15-inch MacBook Air for a more comprehensive review. Let’s jump right into it!
Starting with the smallest bags, these two can fit a 13-inch laptop, though a little bit sticks out!
First up is the medium Dior Toujours. By opening the sides of the bag to transform it into a tote, you can fit a 13-inch laptop horizontally.
In addition to being handheld, the Toujours can also be converted into a long-handle shoulder bag. For those who carry a lot, it’s perfectly fine to use the Toujours for your laptop, even if a bit sticks out – it doesn’t really affect the overall experience.
The second bag is the small Marni Museo Hobo. Despite its compact structure, you can still fit a 13-inch laptop vertically, with just a little sticking out. Given its price of around 1,000 USD, it’s a great everyday option for school or work.
Now, let’s look at bags that can completely fit a 13-inch laptop.
The Goyard Bohème Hobo stands out for being incredibly lightweight and spacious. It’s one of the lightest bags on this list, and still offers a generous capacity.
With room for a 13-inch laptop and other essentials, you can zip it up without issue. The strap is perfectly designed, so even when fully loaded, it won’t dig into your shoulders. Plus, the iconic Goyardine pattern adds a classic touch, making it both versatile and stylish.
Another great option is the Saint Laurent Niki Shopping Bag. Its boxy shape is perfect for carrying a 13-inch laptop. The solid structure isn’t too heavy, and the magnetic closure adds a sense of security for your daily commute.
For a blend of practicality and style, the Givenchy Voyou medium bag is a top pick. Made from leather and adorned with metal accents, it’s surprisingly lightweight for its size. With plenty of room, it easily fits a 13-inch laptop, water bottle, and headphones.
One major advantage of this bag is the well-thought-out shoulder strap design. The adjustable strap is wide enough to distribute weight, ensuring comfort even when carrying heavier loads.
The LEMAIRE Croissant bag, a rising favorite, also made the list. The large version can easily accommodate a 13-inch laptop, with its wide shoulder strap offering a comfortable crossbody option.
However, due to the soft lambskin material and curved base, the laptop may not stand upright, causing the bag to lose its shape a bit. While it’s fine for occasional laptop use, it’s not ideal as a permanent laptop bag.
The popular Miu Miu Beau is known for its chic look, and it turns out it can also fit a 13-inch laptop perfectly! Though it’s a snug fit, the zipper closes without any issue.
That said, the Beau is relatively heavy, and its rounded shoulder strap may become uncomfortable if you need to carry it for extended periods.
The Prada Soft Lux in large size is another favorite. The bag’s wide opening allows for a 13-inch laptop to slide in easily, with plenty of room for other items. Despite its size, it’s surprisingly lightweight, making it a practical option for both style and work.
The BV Andiamo medium bag has also become a go-to for professionals. Its structured shape and woven design exude understated elegance. It fits a 13-inch laptop horizontally with room for essentials, though the adjustable strap may need loosening to fit the laptop.
Next, we’ll look at bags that can fit a 15-inch laptop, though with some slight exposure.
The slim and sleek Miu Miu Ivy can hold a 15-inch laptop with ease, thanks to its lightweight build and curved handle design.
The Chanel 22 Medium can also fit a 15-inch laptop, but the chain strap might make it uncomfortable for heavier loads.
Another highly functional bag is the Loewe Puzzle Fold Tote Medium. While a 15-inch laptop might stick out slightly, the structured body and wide base provide plenty of space for other items.
The Polo Ralph Lauren Polo ID in large size can accommodate a 13-inch laptop horizontally or a 15-inch vertically, with ample space left inside.
Now, let’s move on to bags that can easily fit a 15-inch laptop.
First up is the Louis Vuitton CarryAll, a best-seller for months. We tested the black version in medium, which fits a 15-inch laptop effortlessly.
Another standout is the Goyard St. Louis GM tote, which fits a 15-inch laptop with no trouble. Its lightweight design makes it a top choice for travel or commuting.
For professionals, the Saint Laurent LE 5 À 7 Soft Hobo in large size is a great option. Its structured body holds a 15-inch laptop vertically with ease, while the wide shoulder strap ensures comfort even with heavier loads.
Surprisingly, the COS Cloud Bag can also fit a 15-inch laptop, though its soft structure may alter the bag’s shape when the laptop is inside.
Finally, the Dior Book Tote in large size is a classic choice for travel and work. It easily fits multiple 15-inch laptops with space to spare, though the bag can become quite heavy when fully loaded.
Last but not least, the Balenciaga Rodeo in large size is more than capable of fitting a 15-inch laptop, but it’s more of a style statement than a practical laptop carrier.
That concludes our 2024 large bag capacity review! Which bag surprised you the most with its storage capacity?
