Coffee Break: Large Zippered Tote

I'm always a fan of a leather tote with an actual zippered closure — chalk it up to too many subway rides, I guess? I never like ones that are wide open at the top, even if they have a magnetic closure or whatnot.

This large leather zippered tote from MAISON de SABRÉ looks to be just that.

I like the details such as the internal hanging compartments, as well as the “fine resin coating” that seals the raw interior “to ensure it only gets better with age.” The tote can fit laptops up to 16″, can stand by itself (also important!), and has a detachable leather key bell.

If you don't share my fondness for zippers, there is also a variant with just a snap closure — I like that here at least they intend for you to use one of the interior zippered compartments for your valuables like phone, wallet, and passport.

The bag is $379 new, but select colors are on sale for $269 at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's.

Some of the best work bags for women as of 2025 include great totes from Cuyana (with a zipper), Tumi, Tory Burch, Lo & Sons, and Madewell (north/south). Also try this highly-rated organizing insert or these clever pouches with some of the less structured bags!
