TZR Editors Carry These Trusty Work Bags On The Daily

“I’ve been eyeing this backpack for a few years now, and I think it’s time to finally take the plunge. Between cycling and taking the train to and from work, I’d use this ideal carryall for my laptop, gym gear, and everything in between.” — Kathy Lee, editor in chief, TZR

"While basic black and tan leather totes are my typical go-tos for work bags, I'm eyeing this ultra-chic navy option from Tory Burch. The quilted satin material is so luxe, while the bag itself is super spacious, sturdy, and — most importantly — functional." — Angela Melero, executive editor, TZR

“While Loewe is known for being a bit artsy and conceptual, the Spanish label makes surprisingly laptop-friendly work bags. I like the large styles from the Flamenco line best for the playful knotted details — something that stands out in a line-up of standard commuter totes.” — Alison Syrett, deputy fashion editor, TZR

"I needed a cute work bag that I can also bring to fashion events (especially to NYFW) and Mansur Gavriel's Hobo style fits the bill perfectly. The slouchy style gives it a nonchalant look, the straps don't fall off my shoulders, and it fits my laptop!" — Marina Liao, senior fashion news editor, TZR

"I like to travel light so I tend to gravitate towards bags that will fit my laptop, wallet, phone, and a few snacks, but not much else. This Wandler bag is not too big, not too small, but just right. Plus, the sleek, minimal shape will complement any outfit." — Erin Lukas, deputy beauty editor, TZR

"Yes, I was suckered into the ironic embroidery LL Bean tote TikTok trend. This beast holds my entire life, always keeps its shape, and makes me feel like a boarding school kid. The embroidery reads "Says Who?" which never fails to make me friends at the airport." — Amanda Ross, beauty editor, TZR

“I tell everyone about Cuyana’s super-sleek leather backpack — it’s that good. There's a designated pocket to store my laptop and plenty of extra space for the rest of my everyday essentials (agenda, chargers, embarrassing amount lip products, etc.). Not included: Shoulder pain.” — Kelsey Stewart, associate fashion editor, TZR

“I tend to overload my work bag, so I prefer a structured style that will keep its shape. I love the spring 2023 detailing on Loewe's classic Anagram tote — the buttery smooth leather comes in a gorgeous tan with white accents for a little pop. It can also be carried with a top handle or shoulder strap, making it multifunctional.” — Rebecca Iloulian, director, newsletter revenue and marketing, BDG

“Though I love my trusty canvas tote, I've been on the hunt for a durable, structured, purse/work bag hybrid with a strap that doesn't dig into my shoulder. As soon as I saw this new Baggu style, I knew I had to have it! I usually go for color but basic black is perfect for ripping and running through the city.” — Samantha Scott, newsletter editor + strategist, BDG
