Buying Guide
Why Choose a Work Bag?
The simple things can sometimes add to a more enjoyable day at work. Maybe it’s the prospect of a cappuccino from the neighborhood coffee shop, catching up with your coworker’s bestie, or grabbing your go-to bag before leaving.
The best work bag may help you look and feel good from your commute to your desk since it offers that elusive balance of comfort, style, immaculate organization, and storage capacity.
When it comes to the ideal work bag, style and utility should be perfectly in balance. It should be a bag that you don’t feel self-conscious carrying, and that can accommodate various items, including a laptop, a large water bottle, and exciting extras like exercise gear, a lunchbox, and more.
Store your charger, cards, headphones, work documents, coffee mug, planner, calendar, binder, pens, pencils, wallet, keys, and more.
Due to the high demand for top-notch work bags, many options are available. Work bags come in every style, color, and size, including messenger bags, backpacks, and vegan leather options.
What You Should Look for in a Work Bag
Functionality
Work bags should combine fashion and functionality because they are used to carry a lot of items. Consider the items you use daily, such as note cards, a phone, and business cards, and see if your chosen tote can accommodate them all (and allow for easy access).
The totes with the most inside pockets and compartments are the most practical. Additionally, consider how hefty it will be when your tote is full and how you’ll transport it.
To put it another way, you might want to make sure the tote offers a hands-free way to carry it if you’ll be moving a huge laptop around. It’s also crucial to have a long and sturdy strap to support the additional weight. Bonus points if it has a wider design or extra padding to reduce the strain on your shoulder.
Material
Because it is dependable and professional, leather makes the finest material for a work bag.
If you’re having trouble deciding on a material, consider the most durable purse you already own and look for a work bag made of the same material. If so, be sure to read reviews from devoted patrons or remarks regarding typical wear and tear.
Size
According to Moses, you should first think about what you’ll keep in the bag daily while selecting your ideal work bag.
Do you need to carry your gym shoes and lunch as well? To keep things hygienic and clean, you’ll probably want a bag with distinct sections for each.
Are you looking for one that you can easily bring on flights? The most practical would be one that attaches to a rolling suitcase’s handle.
Personalization and Customization
You should look for a bag that can be made unique to you, with monogrammed initials or a custom message. This level of personalization makes it a wonderful gift, as well as making you feel more special when wearing it out and about or at a business meeting.

Von Baer was founded because I wanted a unique and high-quality laptop bag for myself, without paying for an unreasonably overpriced designer brand. I've spent over 500 hours testing 1,000s of leather products over to help you get a better product.
I'm proud of the luxurious leather goods we've created since 2014, and I'm sure you'll love them too. Read more about our story here.

How Is Von Baer Leather Different?
Not all leather is the same.
Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.
Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:
- Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
- Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
- Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
- Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
- The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
- Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
- Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.
That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.
It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.
It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).
