I've scrimped and saved, made mood boards, and filled virtual shopping carts on the quest for the perfect purse, all because it's the item I wear every single day. Of course, as much as I love my crossbody, as a New Yorker, I'm also constantly lugging a tote bag to work.
Stuffed with gym clothes, my laptop, and my lunch, there's just no way to navigate my day without an extra bag to carry whatever I pick up along the way. Despite the importance a carryall plays in my life (and that of plenty of other working women), though, it often plays second fiddle to its smaller counterparts, but no longer.
Below, I'm highlighting 19 tote bags for work that are cute enough to make your boss jealous. From sleek and streamlined to sporty to just plain fun, you'll find a bag to fit your personality (and needs). Read on to shop them now.
