If you're anything like me, you've long been on the hunt for a stylish bag to carry your laptop that doesn't, well, actually look like a laptop bag. Whether you prefer a classic tote, a fashion-forward shoulder bag, or practical backpack that holds your laptop and everything else you could possibly need, there are a ton of great options—and we found the best of the best. If you're heading back to the office, mark the occasion with a stylish new laptop bag to carry all your essentials.
Longchamp Large Le Pliage Tote
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.
Dagne Dover Pacific Tote
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.
MZ Wallace Metro Quatro Quilted Nylon Tote
This quilted laptop tote from MZ Wallace boasts thick straps that won't make your shoulder ache after a long commute. It also comes with two smaller pouches on the inside to keep your valuables safe.
Hershel Supply Co. Orion Backpack
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.
Rag & Bone Leather Commuter Backpack
For a designer take on the backpack, 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.
Nubily Waterproof USB Laptop Bag
This tote checks a lot of boxes: It’s classic, affordable, comes in a variety of colors, and has loads of pockets. But it also has an interior USB charging port, just in case you find yourself out, about, and low on power.
Away Travel The Longitude Tote
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.
Madewell The Transport Tote
Madewell's original transport tote will become your new favorite bag, thanks to its versatility and spaciousness that could fit a laptop and a pair of sneakers for that run in the park.
HOBO Antonia Leather Tote
This tote bag from HOBO is designed to keep your essentials organized, thanks to a selection of small pockets on the inside and across the front. It even has a zip-top pen pocket inside.
EaseGave 15.6 Inch Laptop Briefcase
Briefcase-style bags are timeless. This rosy mauve version from EaseGrave comes in nine colorways, ranging from a vibrant yellow to classic black.
MYTAGALONGS Everleigh Mini Commuter Bag
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 Ella Leather Tote
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.
Piper & Skye Playa Shoulder Bag
If you have a smaller laptop, try this slouchy woven bag from Piper and Skye. It's the perfect option to carry with to the office or on a long-haul flight thanks to its lightweight silhouette.
A New Day Work Tote Handbag
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.
Cuyana Classic Leather Zipper Tote
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.
Goodee Bassi Market Tote
Goodee's ethically-sourced Bassi Market Tote, equipped with snap closure so your laptop doesn't slip out, is made with handwoven fabric from Burkina Faso. Even better? The company is a certified B Corp, meaning it's part of a businesses community that "meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance" by reducing inequality and poverty. The brand also pledges to donate at least one percent of individual sales to environmental non-profits.
Kate Spade Spencer Dome Universal Laptop Bag
This classic Kate Spade bag is designed to be "a purse for your laptop"—but you'd never know such a sweet and compact bag was carrying a bulky item. And it's called Universal for a reason—there's no laptop or computer this magic pink bag won't hold.
Lululemon On My Level Bag 19L
Lululemon's sporty chic waterproof nylon bag, complete with a top handle, is ideal for those gym-to-coffee-shop Saturdays when you need to get work done but want to get in a quick sweat sesh first.
Clare V Annie Tote
Please excuse me and my obsession with Clare V's tote that comes with a cute monogram, as shown here, for an additional $50 in any spot you want. Slide your laptop in horizontally and you're golden.
