With offices opening back up, it’s likely you’ve started thinking about what bag you’ll carry for the big return. We’ve surveyed more than 20 industrious women about the bags they’re using to get them through the workday, and only one brand — Cuyana — came up twice. Beloved for its durability and elegant design, it’s a favorite of both Strategist senior writer Karen Iorio Adelson and JIGGY puzzles founder Kaylin Marcotte, who both agree that its quality is exceptional and it holds everything one might need for a workday. It’s also fairly pricey. The totes tend to be around $200, and it’s rare to snag one on sale. Currently, this tall, structured tote is $168 (down from $215) as part of Cuyana’s Archive Shop, where some of its favorite products are available for a discounted price. The shop closes today, July 30, so if you see something you like, don’t wait. One thing to note: All Archive Shop purchases are final sale and nonreturnable.
