Cozy Earth was cloth for $ 115: If you have a low key, functional fashion with a hint of ‘quiet luxury’, this 12-ounce crop cloth just delivers it. Think aesthetically, think Yeezy Brand Circa 2017 (minus anti -Semitism). I love mine in washed dark blue, but the earthly colors – Cedar Brown, Palm Green and Taupe – are just as fashionable. It is durable enough to endure a farmers market, double an overnight journey or as a beach bag. The design is simple, but still considerate: Outside bags for quick grabs (keys, phone, an emergency snack) and two interior (including a zipper compartment) to keep you valuable sorting.

Alo Yoga Foxy Sherpa Tote for $ 288: The Alo Yoga Foxy Sherpa bag is a peak soft girl aesthetics. It is made of soft faux fur, with a subtle embroidered Alo -Logo in the middle, no extra fringe. It is spacious enough to serve as an overnight bag, and the ultra-soft handles don’t dig into my shoulders, not even if I pack it too much. Granted, it’s more an autumn and winter-bag-sherpa in the summer just feel criminal-but it’s the most delicious companion for cold weather. The only right disadvantage is the $ 288 price tag.

Öend Ona Soft Bag for $ 100: The Öend Ona -Sag bag is puffy, alive and is offered in a rainbow of colors. It is made of water -resistant nylon and is a smart turn on the standard bag, designed to stretch its usefulness with each new outfit or opportunity. You can carry it four different ways: as a suitcase, handbag, cross body or even a backpack. The soft bag also contains adjustable side bands. Although it fits laptops up to 16 inches, I would not run the risk of bumping my laptop here because there is no dedicated sleeve. But the external zipper bag is a playful touch for small essentials.

Lo & Sons Upcycled Patchwork Tote for $ 66: This is probably what you suggest when you think of a suitcase – it has one large compartment with two smaller internal bags, and it doesn’t make or zipper closed. Still, it fits comfortably with a laptop, books and daily accessories, so that it can be used as a work bag or for a night away. Fun fact: It is made of returned and damaged Lo & Sons bags.

Days Dover Petra Convertible Tote for $ 285: The Petra is made of recycled polyester and plastic bottles. It is durable and big-It fits a 16-inch laptop and is almost 17 inches long. It’s probably too big for an everyday bag. But the hardware is heavy metal, and the laptop compartment is stuffed. For parents, it is also a decent diaper bag.

Fjallraven Kånken Ttepack for $ 100: We love The Kånken backbag. The ttepack is essentially the same bag, but can turn from a suitcase to a backpack. The disadvantage is its size, with only a 13-inch laptop bag and two water bottles or a small umbrella-but they are stiff, so don’t expect it to fit a 1l nal genes in it.
