Promising Review: "Awesome bag! Leather is very soft and in rich black. Plenty of pockets to put everything I need to carry with me. The chain is so beautiful and nicely coated in a metal-ish black tone, the same as the four decorative feet at the bottom. This bag is a classic, yet with a touch of rock style. It goes with everything and is truly good for both day and night. Adorable!" —California heart

Everything I need for my day fits inside — computer, water bottle, purse, etc. I do put my laptop sideways to fit it better, but it still closes.

15. This leather crossbody because you totally need a practical AF everyday bag.

bit.ly

Promising Review: "I had never bought this brand before and I have to say I'm impressed with the quality. It comes with a second strap. It has the black guitar strap (as shown) but also comes with a thinner ALL LEATHER strap, which was a very pleasant surprise. I almost didn't buy this bag because it had a fabric guitar strap, which to my opinion made it more casual. But with the second leather strap for a dressier vibe, I'll get a lot more use out of this." —KTbelle

Get it from Nordstrom for $198. (Available in two colors.)
