âThis season is all about brown for me. I might have a fonder attachment to the Prada buckle bag than to my children, though I wonât let them in on that secret! Also, the Todâs Folio bag is fantastic as it accommodates my childrenâs water bottles along with my laptop!â

âToteme has perfected the balance between practicality and flair! Which is essential when searching for an ideal everyday bag. I adore the black, the spaciousness for my laptop, and it works well as a weekend bag too. Want to add more glam? It comes in a stunning chocolate brownâperfect for this fall!â

âI rely on a smaller bag within a larger tote to transition from day to night. My Coach Empire tote manages to fit an incredible amount of itemsâmy laptop, a change of comfort shoes, various chargers, and the like. I often add a smaller bag from St. Agni for my essentials like keys, wallet, and phone. This method is practical and aligns perfectly with the layered bag trend seen on runways.â
Talia Abbas, Associate Shopping Director
âThe choice of my everyday bag varies based on outfit and weather conditions! When Iâm in a hurry and need to carry plenty, Iâll opt for one of my monogrammed L.L. Bean totes; most frequently, however, I reach for my large Dragon Diffusion bag, which comfortably accommodates my laptop and lunch, without looking overstuffed. On weekends or for after-work events, I love using my Khaite crossbody bag, which converts easily into a clutch. My go-to is perfect!â

âFor my typical workday, I prefer a spacious bag that can accommodate everything I might needâfrom my wallet and keys to a snack, various creams, and a multitude of lip glosses. This season is perfect for suede bags, and I find myself swapping in sumptuous totes and bucket options as I go.â
Kiana Murden, Senior Beauty Shopping Writer
âI typically categorize my bags into two types: work-related and casual. A large tote is crucial to carry my essentials (laptop, headphones, and ample beauty products). For days when I donât need my laptop for 9-5 or during weekend escapes, I prefer a shoulder bag for hands-free convenience. Currently, Iâm enamored with broad, east-west shapes like Frejaâs Caroline designâin classic black or versatile chocolate brown tones.â

âI generally favor a vintage shoulder bagâone bag that stands out for me is the Gucci Jackie bag. Whether you find it pre-loved or brand new, itâs the ultimate all-rounderâavailable in quirky prints or solid colors. Moreover, its capacity is surprisingly generous (believe me, I often cram in a makeup pouch, a few lip liners, and a digital camera without issue).â
