It also has plenty of slots for essentials. “After testing out Dagne Dover’s Dakota backpack, I’m a backpack convert.” The backpack is made from a thick, durable neoprene material that, as well as being water resistant and easy to clean, looks far more luxurious to Avila than plain canvas. “I’ve never been a big backpack person, but that may be because I always had a plain, unfussy Jansport,” says Avila. “It also has double handles, so I can carry it two ways really easily.” You can shop the tall tote in eight colors, including pine and cream. “My favorite thing about it is how light the actual bag is, so I’m not adding any weight to what I’m carrying,” she says. Corsillo’s bag is her go-to for her New York City subway commute. “I appreciate its slim, streamlined silhouette and that it’s still able to fit my laptop, wallet, phone, keys, and even a couple journals,” says Avila.
It comes in two other versions - small and tall - and Avila chose the latter. She ordered an older version of the classic zipper Cuyana bag from her phone on the spot and called it a “big upgrade.” “The pebbled leather doesn’t show scratches or wear as easily, and it holds everything you’d need for a workday,” she says.īoth Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo and writer Arielle Avila tested Cuyana’s pebbled-leather Easy Tote. Former Strategist senior writer Karen Iorio Adelson was a devoted Madewell Transport Tote user until one ill-fated trip to the airport, when the strap on her “(admittedly overstuffed) tote tore off” while she was waiting in the security line.
