Love this! In terms of bags, I'm really into the slightly warped-looking leather totes by Y/Project. Surrealism with an edge.

I love the Loewe puzzle tote! I’ve been using the olive green one in the Medium size for a year. I added a bag insert to it which has made it a lot more study to serve as an everyday laptop bag. Excited for your substack!!

I have the Mansur Gavriel one and can confirm it fits a lot. Love that you featured it! The shape feels fresh. A little special and unique compared to all the square totes out there.

Totally agree!! How do you like the leather?

Leather is sturdy and less precious. The fact that it is pebbled makes it feel casual to me. I don't hesitate putting it under an airplane seat or throwing it in the back of my car with my kids!

Love the Loewe Puzzle Tote. The ingenuity of it's design is refreshing, we need more of that!

Couldn't agree more - it's so simple yet so special.

My fav has been the The Row Medium Park Tote- roomy enough for all my essentials plus my toddler’s stuff but not overwhelmingly big on my petite frame. And the leather is gorgeous

I have been really wishing for that bag too, it's a good one. The most minimal but so luxe, and that is such a good size!!!!

Just came back to this specific post because I’m realizing a gap in my bag stash. Of course two of the bags I love are in this list (Loewe medium puzzle and Toteme suede belt bag) I need a bag that fits my MacBook but isn’t a huge tote (I have my MG tote and MZ Wallace tote for more full on schlep days.) I like my MG tulipano but it is a smidge too small. Want to be my bag therapist? What should I do? Think “I’m running around all day and hoping I have time to work in between”
