Whats the best bag for work?

Hello all! Looking for some insight as to what LV bags you use for work. I know the Neverfull will likely be the biggest response (and not to knock the Neverfull, I don't think any designer has mastered the art of the perfect work tote as well as Louis Vuitton, except maybe Goyard, but I'm not a fan of their bags). I was going to purchase a Damier Ebene Neverfull this weekend, but wanted to poll the boss babes on this forum first - to get some additional feedback!

As of now, I carry a black and a tan Market Tote from Coach for work (which I happen to love, both for the durability, pebbled leather look, and price point), and my investment bags are all chain bags that I use on weekends (Chanel flap, Gucci Marmont, Gucci Dionysus). So I want to step my work bag game up!

Thank you & Happy Friday! :)
 
For spring/summer, I alternate with my Azur Galliera PM, Azur Neverfull MM, Idylle Speedy (Fusain)
For Fall/Winter, I alternate with my DE Neverfull MM and Trevi PM.
I like using medium to large bags for work since I like to carry everything I may need "just in case"! I don't use any of these bags for going out or weekend.
Whatever I use for work, I make sure I have a pouch of some sort to take out for lunch. The NF works great for this since it already comes with a pouch.
 
If I have my laptop with me, usually the NF or my Lululemon backpack. Honestly, I've had my NF (DE) since 2013 and it truly is a workhorse. It still looks brand new. If you're concerned about comfort, I have to admit, my NF is not that comfortable. After 5 years of owning it, the strap still hasn't soften up. Its definitely beautiful, and I can stuff a ton of things in there. But ultimately, I think the pros of this bag still outweighs the cons.

For days when I don't take my laptop with me, I'll basically use any bag in my collection. Which includes the Pochette Metis, a (less known) bag from Balenciaga, Alexander Wang Rocco bag, etc.
 
I use crossbody bags for work mostly and carry an extra tote for laptop normally. If I just want to carry one bag and I need to carry my laptop I just carry a tote from Burberry, Mulberry, or Prada (as I do not own any LV that can carry a laptop). For days I do not carry my laptop, I wear my DA Siracusa or DE Speedy if I want to wear LV.

When I need to carry my laptop, I use the NF MM in DE or Mono. When I don’t, I use the Speedy 30, Totally PM and sometimes the Speedy B 25 DE. Lately I added the Graceful PM and Pochette Metis Mono so I will be using them. I have a card slot on my phone case for ID, badge and CC so all I really need is my 4 ring keyholder and the the phone.

I think this comes down to, do you need to carry laptop or files or not. If you do carry the laptop, then Neverfull is great, if not then then really any bag that fits your work essentials and your preferred style...i found speedy to be the best because it can be carried multiple ways, light and has zipper.. If money is no issue, then maybe something in the leather.

Glad you posted this, as I am looking for another work bag to carry the laptop in and tossing between getting another Neverfull in a different print or maybe the Delightful or preloved Totally, so love to hear everyones suggestions.
 
I should’ve mentioned it before. I’m an attorney and work for a big firm (traveling to other offices a good bit) so I need something to travel with (laptop, folders) but also something that isn’t so huge I can use it day to day. Weeks I don’t travel I pack tupperware with my meal prep and water.

Based on your needs, the Neverfull is a great option. :)
 
As a non-English speaker I just have to ask: who do you count as a boss babe? :doh:

Liberal interpretation! I think moms are some of the hardest working boss babes ever. I am looking for feedback from anyone who need to carry a lot of things during the week (or weekends), travels, etc. but still tries to be stylish and what bags they carry and like to carry to do so [emoji4][emoji1364]
