Buying Guide
The simple things can occasionally 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 bestie, or grabbing your go-to bag before leaving.
The most remarkable 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.
What to Remember
Materials
Fabric may dramatically alter the shape and purpose of a bag. One of the strongest and lightest materials is nylon, which is also comparatively simple to clean.
If you prefer a more professional-looking bag, stick with leather because it looks less casual than other materials. If you’re concerned about scratches or scuffs, go with pebbled leather.
Straps
The straps are the most crucial component of a bag. Make that the straps’ stitching appears secure and that they aren’t pulling excessively while supporting the bag’s weight. Skip the shoulder straps and tiny handles.
And if your shoulders are still under too much strain, we advise using a backpack that disperses weight more equally.
Pockets
Pockets are groundbreaking. Look for a bag with a laptop compartment if you carry a laptop or tablet to your work to keep it safe. When your luggage is packed with other items, measure and confirm that your device can fit inside.
To keep certain goods safe inside and others close at hand, I like it when a bag offers various pockets, both on the inside and the outside of the bag. Look for either a zip-top or a button closure for an extra layer of protection so your items don’t fall out while you’re on the move.

What Type of Bag Is Most Suitable for Work?
Glad you want to know. There are totes, shoulder bags, and backpacks to choose from, but a smaller crossbody may suit you better if you’re a minimalist. It must have pockets and be available in a color that either complements all of your attire or contrasts attractively with everything you own, much like the best dresses.
Of course, it must also not be offensive. Strong materials like leather are preferable as you will probably use them more frequently.
FAQs
What To Pack in a Work Bag?
It’s wise to keep things simple when preparing your work bag. The worst work bag is the one that is too heavy or too full, making it painful or uncomfortable for you to carry.
Prioritize your essentials first, including your laptop, water bottle, workout attire, snacks, and other necessities. Then, depending on how much space is still available, add more.
When packing your luggage for work, in addition to the apparent personal stuff, we suggest bringing a journal for any leisure you have during the day or if you need five minutes to unwind.
How Can I Make My Bag Live Longer?
You’ll want to preserve your beloved bag as much as you can now that you have one.
First and foremost, don’t hang your bags because doing so eventually erodes the straps.
They should ideally be stored on a shelf in a dust bag with some stuffing inside to keep the shape. I like to stuff my bags with all the tissue paper that comes in packages because I do a lot of online shopping.
Additionally, it would be best to keep your bags out of direct sunlight, which can damage the color of leather, and in a cool, dry location.

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).
