No light colored bags as work bags. They will show every mark.

Linnea tote in cappuccino.

Exactly. That’s why I have several different colors of Longchamp totes for work, dragging stuff around,travel, etc

+1. Seriously. And too expensive. I'm tough on bags. I buy cheapos from Amazon and then toss when worn. I cannot understand why women spend so much on a ghastly leather TOTE

What about one of these? A friend of mine has the second one in green. The quality is surprisingly very good.

The last bag on your list might seem really big if they’ve proportioned it for men. And I would think about what kind of strap you want based on how heavy your bag is. I find that overly wide straps fall off my shoulder but narrow straps dig in to my shoulder because I overload my bags. 😬

This.

I’m curious what you’ll carry in these bags…because they look so small.

Will it just be like a purse, or do you need to carry your laptop, chargers, lunch, etc.?

None of the bags look structured enough to carry heavy stuff.

I carry a Lo & Sons to work. It holds everything.

While I don't think these are hideous, I've used the Longchamps bag for years for this very purpose, and I love it. It fits my laptop plus notebooks and other work items; is great for works as well as for weekends; is great for travel; etc. When the corners wear out after a few years, I can replace it.

Love the Balmain button ones.
