In the modern work bag there tends to be particular constants: phone, headphones, lipstick for touch-ups and of course, your laptop.

When it comes to your laptop, since it's such an essential piece of tech ,you are going to want to keep it as safe as possible - without sacrificing style or forking out a whole pay cheque in order to do so. 

It's practically impossible to get through a work day without your laptop and carting it between the office and home is something you'll want to do with ease. You'll want to find a tote that not only fits it, but ideally protects it against the elements and general wear and tear of being knocked around on the commute. 

Just because you are investing in a tote that will protect your laptop, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style as there are endless options to shop that as chic as they are protective. They also don't have to cost you a pretty penny.
