Can anyone help? I would like a bag I can put on my shoulder that can fit my work laptop, a notebook or 2, pens and a mouse along with a thermo lunch bag. I just have one from target that is wide enough to fit the square Rubbermaid containers with the red lids (descriptive, I know lol). I also will need to be able to fit shoes in the winter. I prefer sturdy, so it doesn't flop when I set it down. It does not have to be anything fancy...just cute and a decent price. Anyone have any ideas????

I'm not sure what you consider to be a "decent price," but the Tory Burch York Tote should be large enough to fit most, if not all, of your items. It is structured and has a center zip. It is only $295, which is a pretty good price for a TB tote.

I feel you on needing a sizable work bag. Have you looked at Cuyana's offerings? My yoga mat stands in one corner with ample space for all the common extras.... https://www.cuyana.com/tall-leather-tote.html#black
Would you consider a weekender bag? This one is on my wishlist to use as a carryon and/or carry all for days that I'm going to work with all of the things. It might be a bit much if you're super petite, but it would definitely be able to multitask for you. https://www.cuyana.com/le-sud-overnight.html#black-black

Oh! I do like that weekend bag! I will be adding that to the list of ones I found last night to consider!

These are all great choices! For me, Kate spade makes the best work tote. At any given time there are like10 styles that are available and most have some internal organization(which is more than I can say of almost all the premiere designer brands). And if there is an outlet nearby that should be your first stop! I had a tote of hers that I used every day for like 10 years and it looked new (really). Now I have a different one that's exactly the same way.

Check her stuff out. I really think she has the young working woman covered..

Ended up with this! It's technically a baby bag, but the six is perfect! It is a little heavier than I'd like, but I LOVED the pattern and it was such an amazing deal!!! $98!!!! Has the 2 shoulder straps, plus a longer strap if needed!
I love the pattern and LOL! this is such a funny coincidence. I need a multipurpose tote for when I go to music festivals, picnics, the beach, etc and have been looking at baby bags too! Baby bags are great because of all the organized sections. So no baby but I love some of the baby bags.

Thanks!!! I also love the pattern! They had a polka dot one too when I was looking, but this one won!! Same! No baby, but love all the space I get with it!!
