Other Equipment Upscale CCW Bags
Does anyone have recommendations for upscale or luxury style men's CCW/EDC bags?
I currently have a Vertx Ready Pack 2.0. My issue is, it looks really out of place in my daily environment. If you can picture a room full of designer backpacks and laptop bags, my cordura bag screams "tactical".
I would absolutely be ok with a smaller backpack or a laptop bag from the current 20L bag. Needs to hold my CCW while in the office along with my laptop, cords, notepad, basic edc stuff, and basic med stuff. I really like the hook and loop style lined compartments and the individual organization features of CCW style bags. I hate how designers often have very little interior organizational features (all status over substance)
Who makes luxury exterior with utilitarian interior that aren't purses? Open to custom makers or retailers.
For size reference: Daily carry is CZ P09C Nocturne in appendix rig.
Appreciate y'all
EDIT: I can't spell

Coronado leather. Most of their bags and backpacks have a locking CCW pocket

I don’t have it but I’m currently eying the Viktor upscale in leather . U may sacrifice a second or so with draw time compared to other bags, but it doesn’t look out of place.

Take a look through SwissGear's laptop bags. I would recommend the one I have but it's no longer on their website, so I wonder if it's been discontinued. You still may find another model that fits your needs.

Take a look at Goruck. The lineage is decidedly tactical but the bags come in enough colors and materials that you may find something that suits you.
Outside of that I think you are in for some customization with a mainstream bag like Osprey or Patagonia.

Good call out with Goruck. The waxed canvas options may fit well. I hadn't thought to look.

I have the small upscale 3 and also have an XL on order. The small one wouldn’t be able to fit laptop, but the XL should depending on size.
In general the design is cool and doesn’t scream tactical. I have the cloth material ones but I’d imagine the leather will fit the bill.

The Upscale XL will hold a 13" Mac. With that, plus my now books and other supplies it was pretty tight. I actually went to the ready pack x because I wanted a little more space.

Coronado Leather has probably the most gorgeous/luxury bags I have seen for ccw. I haven't tried one but they're on my list for if I actually decide to carry/carry everyday.

Magpul sells a cordura briefcase/messenger bag, looks very normal, with a compartment for a firearm. I have one, works great.
5.11 has a few ccw items, like a fanny pack designed with rip-open pull tabs. (Which includes a tuck-away slot for the logo tag as if hiding the 5.11 logo makes it look less like you're carrying).
Ammunition Depot carries all kinds of ccw and range bags and slings at amazing prices. I use one of their range bags as my daily briefcase, though I carry iwb, it does come with a velcro holster.
Edit: just reread you post and saw the "luxury" part. These might not look especially tactical, but they aren't luxury.

I’ve heard and seen folks on here repurposing bags from Lululemon (no shit), Osprey, and Carhartt. Would anything like that fit the bill?
