HELP ME - I need a new work bag and I am NOT a bag person!

Hi all - I never really post on this board and I need help. Working women - what do you use as your "work" bag? I am an attorney and I need something big enough to carry documents as well as every day crap, but I'd really like to get something stylish as well.
My current bag is over 2 years old, beat up, and it has WAY too many interior pockets and I can never find anything! This bag will be my sidekick 5 days a week. If I had to give a price range i'd say under $300.

I have no idea what is in style in terms of bags, it's just not my "thing."

I hope someone can help me out - thank you!!!!!!! Chat Icon

I got this McKlein bag (in red) last year for Christmas. I love it and always get compliments on it (I'm also an attorney and use it every day)

I also loved this one, but didn't want DH to spend that much $$$ for something that I know I abuse and knock around a lot

MZ Wallace - Jane.

It's a little bitover your price range, but I can fit everything in here. Laptop, files, my personal stuff and I get a ton of complements on it.

I have it in black, but it also comes in other colors.

I have this one from the Coach Factory store in black.

I like that it has the long strap though I typically use the two top handles over my shoulder. This fits my laptop, lunchbag, heels, wallet, phone, etc. I don't love that it's logo, but I do love that it's patent and I don't feel like I'm going to scratch it or ruin it. It has a top zip and several pockets inside, but also an outer zip pocket and an open outer pocket. Around $200 on the Coach Outlet website or at a Coach Outlet.

Hahaha this is actually the one I currently have (except not in patent). It is a great bag but I do need a change (and fewer pockets, more space for documents).

Thanks again for all of your input!

HAHA - I have the older version of this one and was going to suggest it as well.
I bought it at Marshall's for $120 because it was missing the long strap and the changing pad -- but I use it all.the.time. Even holds my breast pump plus cooler packs for longer daytrips to the city/clients/meetings.
Good luck with your search.

So funny, I just came on to post this bag - I have it, right now actually lol, and I'm at work! It's the best work bag. I have it in black. I'm in the field a lot - so this bag is great with that too.

I say go with a Michael Kors tote. I love the new ones.

I personally use either a Carlos Falchi tote (summer) or Burberry Tote (winter) but I would probably chose a different one for your needs.
