We're always on the lookout for the perfect work bag; one that can accommodate the necessities of the day while still radiating style; here's a roundup of the bags we carry (lug) at Remodelista.
Have you found the ultimate work bag?

Margot has a weakness for totes and owns more than she cares to confess. The detachable shoulder straps are made from Swedish gun slings (an oxymoron if ever we've heard one).
Sarah's go-to bag is an oversized canvas bag made by her friend Matt Dick from Small Trade Company.
"I am a big believer in bags within bags (it's a mobile filing system of sorts), and these leather wallets from RTH in Los Angeles are favorites," says Sarah.
The Letts of London Diary ($13.20 from Amazon) is a 20-plus-year legacy system that I can't seem to retire."
"On my last trip to London, I fell hard for Ally Capellino bags," Janet says.
"I bought Ally Capellino's iGor Rucksack as a present for my bag-obsessed husband and turned it into shared bag. It's the perfect carry-on bag for quick business travel; generously sized (ample room for laptop, notebook, cosmetic bag, and camera) without feeling big."
Christine favors the La Tropézienne tote bag by Clare Vivier. Made of Italian leather, it is available with a 5-inch or an 8-inch handle; $386 at Clare Vivier.
Christine matches her Clare Vivier bag with a Lorraine satchel by London designer Ally Capellino (£350 through Ally Capellino).
Meredith's Filson Zippered Tote is a workhorse.
It's a bit like Mary Poppins' bottomless bag, and I'm always amazed at what it can fit.
