A slouchy leather shoulder bag with a roomy main compartment and interior organization pockets. For someone who wants an everyday handbag rather than a work tote or sporty crossbody. Get the leather Sequoia version.
The Sak Sequoia Leather Hobo Bag
My go-to for quick outings when I want my hands free and a small bag. This is a compact option for the essentials rather than a full day’s extras. Pro tip: Measure your phone and check the bag dimensions, especially if you use a bulky case.
Jet Set Small Signature Logo Camera Crossbody Bag
If you like multiple options and considering a smaller designer bag for lighter-carry days. Pro tip: Check what fits before buying, and review the seller and return details carefully. This is a different job from your work tote.
Restored Dinky Bag
Work and Travel in Style!
Work and Travel are very different from daily accessorising, so your bags should cater to where you’re going and what you’re doing.
As a mom, this has lasted me years first as a diaper bag and then as a personal travel companion. Highly recommended!
Celina Backpack
