Which Lancel bag for work and your computer?
For a 15.6 inch computer with a padded pocket declared by the Maison, choose the Edgard 15.6 zipped document holder or the Edgard 15.6 two-compartment backpack. The Charlie 15.6 and Côme 15.6 document holders carry the size in their name, without their sheet describing the pocket. For a 14 inch, the Charlie 14 zipped document holder declares a padded pocket. In every case, compatibility is the one declared by the Maison: we did not measure the pockets.

Who this guide is for
For you who are looking for a leather bag for office and travel days, with a laptop, documents and a charger. We compare the document holders and backpacks of the Charlie, Edgard and Côme lines published on lancel.com at the verification date, and we distinguish three levels of evidence for the computer: the size declared in the model name, the pocket declared in the description, or nothing declared.
The criteria that matter
- Declared computer compatibility. Declared in the name and described as a padded pocket: Edgard 15.6 zipped document holder and Edgard 15.6 backpack; Charlie 14 zipped document holder. Declared in the name only: Charlie 15.6, Côme 15.6, Charlie 14. Described on the sheet but absent from the name: Charlie slim flap briefcase and Charlie convertible backpack, whose description states a padded pocket for a 15.6 inch computer. Size not declared: Côme two-zip backpack, whose sheet states a laptop pocket without a dimension.
- The opening. Two-way zip on the Charlie and Côme document holders, zip on the Edgard, flap with metal clasp on the Charlie slim.
- Carry. All offer handles and a shoulder strap; the Edgard and Charlie convertible backpacks have a mesh back; Edgard, Charlie 15.6, Charlie 14 zipped, Côme backpack and Charlie convertible state a trolley sleeve.
- Registered net weight. From 1.0 kg (Côme backpack) to 1.4 kg (Edgard document holder): these are structured bags, the weight is the one registered by the Maison.
The document holders in words
Edgard 15.6 zipped document holder (smooth leather, 40 x 29 x 9 cm, 1.4 kg): one compartment, padded pocket declared for a 15.6 inch computer, one zipped pocket and two flat pockets at the front, two pen pockets, one zipped pocket on the back, trolley sleeve, adjustable removable leather and textile strap, two leather handles, made in Italy.
Charlie 15.6 document holder (textured leather, 40 x 30 x 8 cm, 1.21 kg): two-way zip, two main compartments, several flat pockets, trolley sleeve, removable adjustable webbing strap, leather handles. The 15.6 size is declared in the name; the sheet does not describe the pocket.
Côme 15.6 document holder (grained leather, 39 x 28 x 8 cm, 1.225 kg): two-way zip, one main compartment, one outside zipped pocket, strap for long shoulder carry, removable leather handle. Same remark: size in the name, pocket not described.
Charlie 14 zipped document holder (smooth and micro logo embossed leathers, 37 x 27 x 5 cm, 1.365 kg): padded pocket declared for a 14 inch computer, two flat pockets, three pen pockets, trolley sleeve, adjustable removable leather strap, two handles, made in Italy. The choice for a compact computer.
Charlie slim flap briefcase (textured leather, 39.5 x 30 x 7.5 cm, 1.2 kg): metal clasp, padded pocket declared for a 15.6 inch computer, one flat pocket, two pen pockets, flat pocket on the back. The thinnest, for those who carry little.
The backpacks in words
Edgard 15.6 two-compartment backpack (smooth leather, 30 x 41 x 16 cm, 1.32 kg): mesh back, padded pocket declared for a 15.6 inch computer, one zipped pocket with a flat pocket and two pen pockets at the front, two outside zipped pockets, trolley sleeve with a secret zipped pocket, adjustable textile and leather straps, leather handle, made in Italy.
Charlie convertible backpack (textured leather, 29 x 42 x 14 cm, 1.2 kg): two zipped compartments, padded pocket declared for a 15.6 inch computer, compression strap at the front, mesh back, adjustable mesh and leather straps, trolley sleeve with a zipped pocket, outside flat pocket with magnetic closure.
Côme two-zip backpack (grained leather, 30 x 40 x 12 cm, 1.0 kg): two zipped compartments, laptop pocket with no declared size, inside patch pocket and zipped pocket, zipped front compartment, secret zipped pocket on the back, trolley sleeve, adjustable webbing straps. The lightest of the three.
The trade-offs, and who should choose something else
- Leather weighs: count 1.0 to 1.4 kg empty, before the computer. If weight comes first, the Côme backpack is the lightest, but its laptop pocket has no declared size.
- The 15.6 or 14 inch mention is a declaration by the Maison about a pocket, not a guarantee for your computer model: check your machine's dimensions against those stated on the page, and treat compatibility as to be verified when the sheet does not describe the pocket.
- The Max 15.6 document holder is not retained here: its name states 15.6 inches and its sheet a 14 inch computer pocket; in doubt, we do not recommend it for a 15.6.
- For a 13 inch computer or a tablet in a women's bag, the Jour S zipped tote closes with a zip and is worn crossbody or by hand, but its sheet declares no computer pocket: compatibility to be verified.
