This is an OK bag but a fantastic laptop and work bag! Bag Snobs don't use briefcases, that is so passe. This tote with the knot detail adds some razzle dazzle so it can easily translate to the evening without looking like you're still clocked in. If you slouch it (by not putting a laptop in there) and wear it crossbody it will not look all business and can be a great weekend bag. The leather is buttery soft and lightweight, and it can be worn with the shoulder straps or with top handle. The price is also nice, at Saks Fifth Avenue for $498.
