We may love our purses and totes, but during the workweek, we often find ourselves unable to reach for our favorite clutches or shoulder bags for one simple reason: they won't fit our laptops. In a highly-connected, Zoom-ified world, having access to our computers—and the workday—is of course crucial. But that doesn't mean that we have to give up on having the perfect bag framing our fall coats. Instead, we modify, collecting polished, organized, and roomy sleeves and totes that can effortlessly whisk us from pilates to meetings to happy hour with friends. We can do it all—with the help of a laptop bag. Scroll on for fifteen laptop bags to delight.
