Madewell Medium Essentials Leather … curated on LTK

A classic piece from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale

If you’re looking for an everyday work tote that fits a laptop without overwhelming in size for petites- this seems like a great option in 2 beautiful colors!

Roomy but not too large, with a magnetic inner closer and two handle straps for wearing over your shoulder or carrying by hand.

Convenient outer pocket to slip in your phone , smaller inner pocket too

Also trying on the Allsaints wrap which I unfortunately found to be too big and long for me. Medium weight rib knit.
