Women can now “have it all”–a career, kids, a social life, hobbies–but that means an awful lot of running around throughout the day. Many working women make four or five stops between leaving the house in the morning and heading home at night.

The fashion industry has responded to this by offering clothes that work in many contexts, like leggings that can be worn from a yoga class to a board meeting. But the handbag industry hasn’t been as quick to keep up with women’s busy, multifaceted lives. “I’ve discovered that bag designers are tasked with trendy bags to entice women to get a new one each season,” Jacqueline Harman, founder of the bag startup Coyn, tells Fast Company. “They’re less focused on creating functional pieces that actually fit into their lives.”

Last year, I tracked down and tested the best handbags on the market that are both beautiful and functional, designed to ease the transition from work to PTA meetings to gym classes to cocktails. Several of those bags were equipped with tech features like laptop sleeves or in-bag chargers. As I developed this year’s list, I asked readers for their thoughts and I learned a couple of interesting things. First, many women don’t carry a tablet or laptop, since they can get most of their work done on a smartphone. Second, even though they’re lugging plenty of stuff around, they want their bag to look sleek and compact.

I’ve incorporated some of this feedback into the 2017 list. While I did test bags from more established brands, I found that the best-designed models came from startups that spent time iterating on their prototypes and performing user testing in the same vein as a tech company would. The new list includes bags across price points and silhouettes, from camera bags to luggage, but all of them are designed to take you through your day without any fuss.
