We tried bags that make organization easy, and that can stand up to the elements and the normal amount of wear and tear that life brings.

Unfold that plastic and place it in the laptop pocket—that gives the bag structure and provides a little more protection for your expensive tech.

The company makes up for some of that by adding straps made of upcycled leather coming from shoes and bags, but it's still something to keep in mind. What makes the bag so popular among students and professionals alike is its durable, weatherproof fabric. It's compact but still fits a 13-inch laptop in its faux-fur-lined pocket, and there are organizational compartments to fit pens, a phone, a wallet, or earbuds. A dedicated phone pocket on the side of the tote is lined with a fuzzy non-abrasive fabric that won't scratch your screen.The combination of shape, material, and pretty strap makes it work as both a dressed-up or dressed-down purse.
