The Dagne Dover Classic Tote packs a ton of features in a slim, compact space so you can carry your entire life in the bag and no one will be the wiser.
Most tote bags, even if they are large enough to get you through a work day, tend to swallow half your stuff. I have several huge bags, but they're all pretty unstructured, making it hard to find smaller items inside.
The Dagne Dover Classic Tote is designed to combat this exact problem.
This bag has so many specialized pockets that you get a clown car effect when you look inside. The Classic Tote has a neoprene water bottle sleeve, a phone pocket, pen holder, padded laptop sleeve, notebook or tablet sleeve with magnetic closure, and interior side pocket. There's also a detachable key holder to prevent the tote from eating your key ring while you're trying to unlock the front door.
The Classic Tote has a durable coated canvas exterior with leather trim and comes in six very classic shades that will go with everything in your wardrobe. It truly is the ideal grab-and-go bag for everyday use.
Dagne Dover's praises have been sung all over the internet, and this bag and its larger counterpart, the Legend Tote, come recommended by Harper's Bazaar, The Strategist, Best Products, and our Insider Picks editor Ellen Hoffman. We also love the brand's leather Allyn Tote, though it costs more.
Pros: Beautiful design, tons of interior pockets formatted for different uses, detachable key chain, comes in six versatile colors, good value for the price
Cons: None
