Durable materials that age well (leather, coated canvas, etc.)
Fits a laptop + daily essentials without feeling too heavy
Comfortable straps/handles for commuting
Interior organization (not just one giant pocket)
Extra Details:
I’m on the hunt for a new work bag — something that can carry my daily essentials without looking sloppy or feeling like a black hole. I’m in my 40s, so I want something polished but practical, not overly trendy. Ideally, it should transition well from office to meetings (and maybe even the occasional dinner), while still being comfortable to carry.
I’ve tried a few bags that either looked great but didn’t fit much, or were roomy but ended up feeling bulky and overwhelming.
I splurged on a Senreve Maestra a couple of years ago, and it’s one of the few “investment bags” that was worth it. It can be worn as a tote, satchel, or backpack (which is great for commuting), and the organization inside is fantastic. Fits my laptop and looks polished enough for client meetings. It is heavier than some, but the versatility makes up for it.
It comes in 3 materials and so many oh-so-beautiful colors, so you'll find the color that matches your style, occasions or outfits.
Money well spent!
It's currently sold out, so I'd snag it once it gets restocked.
