The real MVPs are the women who make it all look easy. Between school drop-offs, side hustles, study sessions, boardroom battles, and those rare-but-glorious weekends away, the right bag isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a non-negotiable.
Here are a few styles that understand the assignment and then some.
She Can Pack Light—She Just Doesn’t Want To
For the woman who starts packing mentally the moment she books a trip (or maybe just dreams of doing so in peace), the Miramar Weekender is a gift-worthy travel sidekick. Spacious enough for a weekend away but compact enough for a carry-on, it has organization built into its DNA. A dedicated zip laptop compartment, three internal slip pockets, and a trolley sleeve keep it all together (and rolling smoothly through TSA). She’s going places, and this bag’s ready to go with her.
"This is a beautiful bag and I love the material. Fits nicely on top of a roller bag with the trolley sleeve. I also like that it can be stored in my roller bag when not in use." ~ Bernadette
Ideal For: Moms taking a solo wellness weekend, entrepreneurs hopping between events, or anyone who understands the fine art of packing a “just-in-case” outfit.
The Bag That Moves as Gracefully as She Does
Sleek. Slouchy. Surprisingly spacious. The Tifton Hobo Tote is a study in contrasts, just like the women we designed it for. With a soft silhouette and an elegant zip closure, this bag carries a day’s worth of essentials with effortless ease. It’s the kind of bag that says “I have a vision board and a grocery list.”
"This bag is fabulous. Plenty of room, can carry everything you need!" ~ Stephanie
Ideal For: That always-put-together friend, the multitasking caretaker, or the cool aunt who somehow makes everything look intentional.
Small Bag, Big Energy
Meet your hands-free hero. Our Small Banbury Backpack might be compact, but it punches way above its weight when it comes to keeping you organized and on point. With two main zip compartments, side slip pockets, and a sleek design that feels more “statement piece” than “school supply,” it’s your all-day, everyday favorite.
"Love this little backpack! I use it as a purse and it's perfect! I can carry everything I need and I don't have to worry about it hurting my shoulder." ~ Susan
Ideal For: College students, city wanderers, and moms who are chasing toddlers with one hand and texting with the other.
Because Her Schedule Doesn’t Fit in a Clutch
Big day? Big dreams? Big bag. The Large Bancroft Backpack has room for it all: your 15” laptop, your packed lunch, your color-coded planner, and your “what-if-I-need-it” stuff. Yet it doesn’t skimp on style while doing it. Multiple compartments, comfy adjustable straps, and a trolley sleeve make it the go-to for go-getters.
"I love the color and the quality of this bag! It is super light and carries all of my things! I use it all the time!" ~ Samantha
Ideal For: Students carrying a semester’s worth of knowledge, professionals who don’t do “just one meeting,” and caretakers who need room for their things and everyone else’s.
Hands-Free. Fuss-Free. Effortlessly Hers.
Light, right, and just enough room, the Lorman Sling Backpack is the minimalist’s answer to staying organized on the go. Toss in your phone, keys, wallet, and snacks (obviously), zip it up, and go. The sleek silhouette stays close to the body and out of your way, which means it’s perfect for commutes, dog walks, and spur-of-the-moment hikes.
"Just the right size and weight for all my essentials. So light, I hardly notice I'm carrying it. Love the material too." ~ Bev
Ideal For: The everyday explorer, the mom at the farmer’s market, or anyone who knows the value of being quick on her feet.
