[DEPHT]

by affordable do you mean office max affordable or less-than-400-LV/Bottega/Hermes affordable?

Pulled these from the My First Designer Manbag thread, although these are the only portfolio looking ones.

Mulberry portfolio

Acme Made.

I've been using this bag for work for I think the last 5 or so years. It's durable, understated and actually fits quite a fair bit despite it's slim profile.

I've also been using another carry-on for travel but it's too bulky so I have this waiting for me (A friend went to Paris recently and picked it up for me there. Cost works out to be 50% of what I would've paid had I bought it in Australia).

The one that OMC posted looks like a laptop holder though. As far as affordable goes.. not too sure, DEPHT question is a good question.

EDIT: Trying to fix tables, quotes make the pics too big.

i have the ballistic black slim cargo, and it is excellent. pocket for my cell, another for an mp3 player or laptop accessories, another where i stick my wallet in, pen holders, spaces for my and other peoples' business cards, and a key ring in the cargo pocket, all organized really well and easy to access... the bigger section is quilted and while great for a laptop, i'm only using it for documents and paperwork and such... the portfolio pocket attached to the back is also a really nice touch, slip a magazine in there or something and you're set.

Yeah, it seems like it has everything you need and nothing you don't.

I don't want a bag with a lot of bells and whistles. Just a durable, sleek design that can accomadate my stuff.

agree with 1st comment re university store if you have access to one. otherwise you should be able to find a cheap one at some office store. no need for flashy prada case for a job fair, in fact i think it's a negative. unless it's a fashion job fair
