I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect work and travel bag—something I can wear to the office, to meetings, and feel confident with no matter the outfit. For the longest time, I just hadn’t found the one. That all changed when my boyfriend surprised me with a trip to the mall to "look around".
Our first stop was Louis Vuitton. I had sent him a link to a bag I thought was cute, and of course, he called ahead to make sure it was in stock. We tried out a few colors but instantly fell in love with the wine option. I naturally gravitate toward earthy tones, so it felt like the perfect match.
Next, we visited Chanel. I tried on a few options, but nothing really stood out as a bag I’d want to wear every day. There was a denim option, but it felt too casual—I wanted something I could confidently bring to meetings.
Then, we stumbled upon YSL, where I honestly didn’t expect to find anything. That’s when I discovered the Jaime tote. It immediately felt like an ideal everyday bag: classic black, gold hardware, and versatile enough to go with almost everything in my wardrobe. I debated between black, wine, or suede, but ultimately chose black—it was perfect for daily work wear.
