The 19 Best Laptop Bags for Women to Take Everywhere

"My personal favorite, which is also perfect for a “first timer,” is our Cuyana System Tote (opens in new tab), created with a 3-in-1 approach in mind. The System Laptop Sleeve (opens in new tab) and System Flap Bag (opens in new tab) can be easily snapped in and taken out, all pieces can work together or stand alone. This tote was designed to effortlessly transition throughout the day with you, while holding everything you need." — Shilpa Shah, Founder of Cuyana 

Longchamp's Le Pliage Large Tote Bag is a classic for a reason. The easy-to-clean nylon fabric is lightweight and durable, and the leather details won't wear thin over the years. 

"I use this laptop bag literally every. single. day. It goes with any outfit, whether I have on one of my power-lady blazers or something more casual (just add the crossbody strap!). I love that it looks polished and professional but not stuffy or boring. Plus, it's highly practical: There's a specific place for my laptop but also easily accessible pockets for my phone and keys, and a zippered closure—a must when commuting by subway." — Danielle McNally, Executive Editor 

Dagne Dover always thinks about the details, as they did with this organic tote bag. Not only does it have a pocket that fits most 13” laptops, it has additional pockets for a tablet, phone, all your cords, and then some. 

"My love affair with this MZ Wallace tote started when my kids were infants. I transformed it into a makeshift diaper bag that kept me organized on-the-go. Now that my kids are out of diapers (thank God!), I still use it to carry everything: my laptop, makeup bag and all the beauty products I’m testing." — Deena Campbell, Beauty Director

This sleek backpack looks and feels grown-up, thanks to its modern shape and leather trim. Plus, it has a laptop sleeve and an exterior luggage strap, so it’s perfect for work travel. 

"This is the clown car of laptop bags, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's incredibly spacious so you can fit not only your laptop, chargers, and work necessities, but anything you need to go from day to night without a pit stop at home—gym shoes, an umbrella, a makeup bag, and a snack. And thanks to Madewell's timeless design and quality leather construction, the bag will hold up for years (probably longer than your laptop)."  — Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director 

For a designer take on the laptop bag, look no further than Rag & Bone’s take. Made in gorgeous, durable leather, it’s got a laptop sleeve, key clip, and loads of space for anything else you might need.

Slightly different to the other Madewell tote bag on this list, the Zip Top Transport Leather Carryall deserves its own spot. "Madewell is my favorite brand for a leather tote and their Transport Carryall is the perfect size to carry my laptop, charger, and miscellaneous beauty products that are usually littered at the bottom of my bag. The straps are very durable and hold up when I wear it as a crossbody, best part is the adjustable strap belt!" — Alexis Gaskin, Freelance Beauty Writer

"I was using just a plain canvas tote bag prior to this bag from Everlane, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. It’s made from organic prickly pair rather than leather, and holds up just as well. It’s just over 20 inches wide so it holds my laptop without it moving around too much, features a sleek interior pocket for the valuables I want to keep on-hand, and comes in two neutral colors. I own the black iteration, and it has yet to show any signs of wear despite the fact that I’ve carried it on a near-daily basis since it debuted in April 2022. The exterior fabric is also super easy to clean!" — Julia Marzovilla, E-Commerce Writer

Away's Longitude tote isn't solely reserved for the airport—the roomy interior fits a 13-inch laptop and a pair of gym clothes, which allows for a seamless commute to the office. If you want to go even bigger, the Longitude's sister tote, the Latitude, has room for a 15-inch laptop. The detachable interior zip pouch, key clip strap, and option to monogram are bonuses on both.

"I've long been a devout fan of Rothy's flats, which are repurposed from plastic bottles but—somehow!—feel like clouds on your feet. A couple of years ago, they started making bags as well, and The Essential tote became a fast favorite. Like their shoes, Rothy's bags are machine-washable and crafted from marine plastic and thread made from plastic bottles, and this tote (which comes in colorways for every mood and season, to my bank account's horror) fits my 15-inch laptop, a book, an extra pair of flats, and then some." — Jenny Hollander, Director of Content Strategy 

Briefcase-style bags are timeless. This rosy mauve version from EaseGrave comes in nine colorways, ranging from a vibrant yellow to classic black.

"My typical day starts and ends in different places - running all around in between between working, events, meetings and drinks. Being on the go so much, I need something that I can carry on my shoulder or in my hand and that holds my laptop plus essentials. I need a bag with me that is chic enough to hold at events or meeting clients and editors at drinks after work. This bag is perfect - the PR girl uniform is all black, so of course it goes with my wardrobe, to me it’s the perfect accessory." — Sydney Schiff, Founder of Sydney on the Scene

For a sportier look, try this neoprene tote bag. It has a two-way zip-top closure, a padded laptop sleeve on the inside, and an adjustable shoulder strap.

Tumi is a travel brand, but don't think that they can't make a good tote bag! This Ella style has a compartment for your laptop and a secure zip-top closure.

"Somehow this bag never gets dirty—and if there's one thing I want to feel in an airport, it's as clean as possible. I've traveled all over with this, and it still manages to look pristine (s/o to the neoprene material). Perfectly fits my 15" laptop along with all my other tech gadgets, and looks sleek + chic on top. Plus it slides over my suitcase handle....yes, I am in love with a backpack." — April Lockhart, Senior Manager of Influencer and Partnerships, ILIA (opens in new tab)

This classic black bag from A New Day at Target comes in three other neutral colors, has an adjustable shoulder strap if you want to wear it crossbody, and has two exterior zip-top pockets for extra storage.

The most amazing part about this soft, lightweight tote isn't the seven gorgeous colors it comes in. Nope, it's that the chic zipper is a rare commodity within the array of magnetic closures and exposed openings on the market. Take this on a quick weekend getaway or schlep it between home and work.
