I’ve been working remotely since 2020 and unfortunately next month I’m going back to the office. I’ve been scouring the Internet (reddit, google, YouTube, tiktok) for work bags that fit my huge 16” laptop and I haven’t found one that I’m in love with yet. My budget is pretty open because I don’t wanna skimp out on a good quality bag that I’ll be using every day

My qualifications: - Grained real leather that’s super durable (not opposed to vegan leather but I don’t think it would withstand the test of time with how rough i am with my work bags) - preferably black - Laptop sleeve/ or at least a divider compartment that could fit my laptop - Stylish (very important) - Optional-ish: Comfortable shoulder strap that doesn’t dig - Optional but a major plus: extra pockets and/or compartments - Optional as well: Structured instead of slouchy

I narrowed it down to a few (pictured above) but they all are missing 1 thing from the list.

Shown above from top left to bottom right: Mulberry Bayswater (No laptop compartment) Cuyana Mila Satchel (not that stylish) Demellier New York (No laptop compartment) Freja Paloma (Vegan leather)

Honorable mentions (none of these have a laptop compartment but are stylish af) Acne multipocket tote Vivienne Westwood large yasmina Loewe Flamenco

Another honorable mention: Coach Rogue 39 (doesn’t look like you can carry it as a shoulder bag, either handbag or crossbody)
