Work Bags That Are Beautiful And Functional? Our Annual List Has You Covered(part 3)
MOST VERSATILE: COYN
Jackie Harman, a tech executive, had spent years looking for a leather tote that she could carry every single day. It seemed like a fairly simple ask, but she couldn’t find one that fit the bill. There was always some issue: too big, too small, or not enough pockets (which inevitably leads to wasting time digging for keys). Last year, she quit her job in New York, moved to Los Angeles, and set up the bag company Coyn. She’s spent a year perfecting the design of her one and only product: a $345 full-grain leather bag that is made in Italy.
At 13 x 14 inches, the shoulder satchel can fit plenty without the wearer having to tug at the straps, which are thick and well-reinforced. For work, I loaded it with my laptop in the designated sleeve, along with books and magazines in the main compartment. There are smaller pockets for everyday items like chargers, wallet, makeup, and water bottle, and there’s a keychain strap. On the weekend, the bag miraculously transformed into a diaper bag. My daughter’s milk bottle slipped into the water bottle slot, while the main compartment fit diapers, toys, and snacks.
The genius lies in the bag’s ability to look big or small depending on how much stuff you’re toting around. For days when you don’t have so much to carry, you can fold the sides inward, creating a sleek square shape.
