What bag do you like for your SL?

I have a Tenba 13 that was the perfect carry-around for my Sonys and a MacBook, but it's awkward with the bulkier SL2-S body. Ideally, I'd like to stay with a messenger bag that doesn't scream camera, and I already have a Peak Everyday 20 that I use when I need to carry more than two lenses.

Tell me your thoughts.

Filson Small Field Bag for me. Holds an SL+SL APO lens mounted perfectly plus a couple batteries in the extra pocket.

I love Filson, but that doesn't hit the mark for carrying the laptop, unfortunately.

Billingham for Leica SL2 Bag

I use it with the SL2 and the 28mm APO Summicron. The bag is also specially designed for the 24-90mm with lens hood.

Looks nice, but the same issue with the Filson — it doesn't hold a laptop. I use my bag for a combo of daily carry and work, so that's kind of essential.

I should add that the bag needs to have a laptop capacity. I use this for work, not lifestyle.

If it’s for work and needs to carry a laptop, Billingham Hadley One is a good place to start.

Billingham Hadley Pro 2020 but not if I want to carry a laptop.

So what would you use if you were?

Sorry for the confusion. I edited my comment after I found out you were asking about a bag that could accommodate a laptop as well in addition to the sl2s. 
 

I don’t actually own a bag that can carry both.

Stay with Tenba. I have the DNA 16 Slim that holds the SL with the 24-90 just well, and has a nicely padded compartment for a 16” MacBook. 

Mine is the first version and the only camera bag I own. It’s also my business bag on travels (then holding an M6 with 35mm as the only camera). I use it daily since 2019 with no visible wear.

The best thing about this bag: it’s not placed in the realm of hand-crafted “special” bags from the good ol’ times that cry gear connaisseur and photography buff. They are also made from highest quality, nothing left to be desired design-wise, and blend in with what ever you wear. They are a true modern classic but only in black. And lastly, they are affordable for what you get.

Surely a Leica deserves one of these:

Good point. The DNA 13 is probably the best of the bags I've used so far for quality and versatility.

You’re very welcome. With the Wally bag nobody will try and steal it and they won’t pay attention to you. You get one of the purses from the camera bag merchants if that’s what you want. 😃😃😃

Not particularly good for work, though... 🤣
