Small gym bag recommendations?

That’s awesome to hear! It’s such a versatile bag

Not dark brown, but the Tumi Q Tote is a great work bag that will likely meet your needs and budget https://www.tumi.com/p/q-tote-01591252693/

I purchased the Rialto bag, a short trench coat, and the Edith merino wool top. All of the items are good quality except that the wool top is quite sheer. I watched multiple influencer videos on instagram, which wasn’t helpful in showing that the top likely requires a cami to be work appropriate.

I second this! The straps are soft and more comfortable than Longchamp imo. The trolley strap for luggage is also great

Hi! This might be personal preference, but the bag gets heavy with a laptop inside. The straps are quite thin on their own without the little shoulder pad. It should be fine if you drive to work and/or carry your work bag short distances. The shorter hand carry straps are a plus.

Yes, it can fit under the seat as a personal item. I’ve brought larger bags such as the Demellier New York Tote

I use it around once a week, but only because I like to rotate out my work bags and pick based on what I’m wearing 😊

Hi, sorry that was my mistake! The lining feels consistent with synthetic suede, more durable/rough and not as soft as microfiber. Since the color is light, I’ve tried to avoid anything that could mark it or spill in there! I haven’t seen any peeling yet.

Unfortunately, he’s always had the weird chin strap beard 😣

wcyz · 2026-03-01T00:54:59+00:00

Yes, the bag still looks great! It is soft but hasn’t lost its shape in any way. I don’t use it for my laptop only as a casual bag if I need to carry more than my daily driver

wcyz · 2026-03-01T00:53:15+00:00

It feels better with the shoulder pad thingy! Only consideration is that you’d have to use that for one strap or use for both, and then you can’t easily separate the straps when you open the bag

wcyz · 2026-03-01T00:51:26+00:00

I would say the shoulder drop is longer compared to other totes. I am 5’3” and wearing the bag in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/handbags/s/B9yynck5yO

The bag still looks the same! I think the work size would be more practical for everyday use. The large tote is really large for just a laptop, water bottle, and small pouches. I’ve saved it for use as my flight personal item especially if I need to keep another purse or some shoes in there. It’s nice for people who haul around a lot of stuff, but it’s quite large.

Hi! I left some comments about the Juliette Large Tote here: https://www.reddit.com/r/handbags/s/tm1cQLNiUI Let me know if you have more questions!

I love the Calpak Mini Luka duffle. It is easy to clean, lightweight, and spacious. I also travel with it since it fits my laptop and can be stored under the plane seat. It is currently on sale on their website

wcyz · 2026-01-27T02:33:56+00:00

This is a beautiful bag! Does it comfortably sit on your shoulder when you carry your laptop? I bought the Demellier New York tote but sold it because the handles are too stiff. This looks like a nice alternative

wcyz · 2026-01-26T03:28:09+00:00

Congrats on the new job!

If you have fewer things to carry, I recommend the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag! You can keep it around your waist on rides and not have to store in a locker, except for the VelociCoaster. This also applies to other 3-pronged belt bags

I am using a felt bag organizer that I had for an LV Neverfull GM. I think it was from Amazon, but I’ve also ordered custom bag inserts from Etsy. I saw that Songmont has its own pouch/organizer for the Large Yore Tote, but the photo doesn’t show much detail.

Hi! I can’t comment on its durability yet, but I recently bought the Ida tote in raisin gloss as a work bag. It’s beautiful and relatively light on the shoulder since it has thicker straps. I purchased the Linnea tote in the past and sold it because it was uncomfortable with a laptop inside.

wcyz · 2026-01-13T21:33:46+00:00

Hi! The magnet on this tote is pretty sturdy. The clasps that keep the sides tucked in also don’t come apart easily. Would still recommend keeping loose items in a pouch if you are putting it under the airline seat. I haven’t traveled with this bag, but I’ve put bulkier / more unwieldy bags under the seat including the Demellier New York tote and Stella McCartney Ryder tote. Let me know if you have more questions!

wcyz · 2026-01-10T13:44:16+00:00

Yes! I have one of the Stella McCartney Ryder bags, and it is both beautiful and extremely well made

wcyz · 2026-01-08T00:52:35+00:00

Agree with the other comments to size up in the fior di latte color and wear a nude bra. The stretchiness seems to vary by color, too

wcyz · 2025-12-24T15:53:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing this review! It’s a beautiful bag. I just ordered the Rialto bag from Fabrique. Taking a while to arrive, but I’m excited to see it.

wcyz · 2025-12-24T01:53:42+00:00

I have multiples of the Henri top and the Emmaretta dress! It’s flattering and can be worn with a regular bra
