Utility Bag – 3-in-1 Leather Tote, Crossbody & Backpack

I'm in love with this bag. I live everything about it except the crossbody strap. It would be perfect of the strap was wider. The slimness of it when the bag is full, cuts into the shoulder a bit in my opinion. I’m looking forward to getting another one soon in black!

The perfect work bag

I travel a lot for work and need something that looks professional and sophisticated but is also a workhorse. It needs to be able to handle air travel and then all day conferences and long walks between hotels and restaurants. I really needed a backpack option for my back but strongly prefer a tote for ease of access. This bag is everything. It has the perfect number of internal and external pockets: enough to keep me organized and a good combo of open pockets and zip so I don’t lose things I need to access frequently. The quality is incredible. The stitching and leather are top notch and I know this is an investment piece that will last forever. I’m constantly surprised by what it will hold and still zip. I took a couple pics and here you can see it holding my laptop, water bottle, cosmetics/pen/emergency bag, sneakers, and AirPods and other small electronics. My large headphones fit in the outside pocket and I can zip it closed with all this inside. It’s great. I really can’t recommend a better bag and I spent way too much time researching work bags before finding this one. It just has everything you’d need. I added a colored strap from Amazon that’s a little thicker than the shoulder strap it came with but that’s the only thing I changed. I put a light coating of beeswax on, which darkened the color but in a beautiful way. The leather is gorgeous and so far has barely any marks despite pretty hard travel the last couple weeks. It really is the perfect bag.

Excited to use!

I’ve been looking up convertible bags to use for work that hold my laptop. I heard about Elevate from the Woman and Work podcast, and then was thrilled that they carried a beautiful one! It is beautiful and I’m so excited to use it and love it!
