Don’t get me wrong, we’re big fans of a utility tote bag, but an adult version makes you feel exactly that: grown-up. Similar to a chic suit or your favorite pair of shoes, there is power in rooms that make you feel like your life is in place, even if your startup has yet to take off.
That’s why we were thrilled to see Everlane meet our needs for a desk bag that, while functional, is higher than your average laptop case. Nicely labeled the boss, but affordably priced at a price an assistant can justify, this $225 bag is all you need to channel your inner venture capitalist.
Made of grained Italian leather, this sturdy material can take a scratch if you lightly (okay, aggressively) rub against someone on the subway. Its simple design is smooth enough for a boardroom, but it won’t look out of place in a dive bar for happy hour cocktails. The hobo’s silhouette is also surprisingly roomy and can hold a 15-inch laptop and your workout gear without looking overly padded.
Like all leather bags made by the eco-friendly company, the Boss bag is handcrafted in a factory located just outside Florence, Italy. You get the same quality of premium designer products at a fraction of the cost. It is available in three versatile colors that will fit perfectly into your work wardrobe. So you can’t pretend you don’t need it for your next big meeting.
Dress for the job you want, or the unicorn business you eventually run, with the Boss Bag today.
