While a versatile color, pockets, and easy-to-hold straps are all details we'll likely look for, the ability to work for, well, work is also pretty important to us. Our new tote needs to fit our junk, gadgets, and the occasional spare pair of shoes, so we've done some research and gathered viable options ahead.
