mainly used for carrying around a pencil case, water, folders, laptop and odd bits. While I understand durability comes at a cost, I have a budget of £50. Thanks and I look foward to responding to your suggestions

    I bought a Fjallraven and was disappointed. It’s fine, but for the price I was looking for something like Wenger from 20 years ago, and it was not that good.

      I totally get what you mean. It’s great that they have a lifetime warranty, but some of the threadwork isn’t the best, and a lot of people just won’t send their bag over international mail versus buying a new one. It feels like the warranty is more to cover their butts than providing a guarantee of high quality. But if you’re in England/the EU, which the OP appears to be, it’s a good deal.

      I’m pretty good at sewing, so I bought mine knowing in advance about the inconsistent quality because I wanted the high-quality canvas and, honestly, the aesthetics. If I have any issues, I’ll just do my own repairs.
