This is great! I feel like when I'm looking at bags, I always consider its book-carrying capabilities and love the more structured leather options mentioned here.

Bought the DeMellier New York bag based on your recommendation! She’s a Mary Poppins bag-esque beast. Thank you for these great tips!

Gonna second the Cuyana Leather backpack - I bought one as a birthday present for myself in 2023. It holds so much stuff and looks so good.

it's so sleek—I'm not a backpack person (I was a purse girl in high school bc, gossip girl ha) but I admit Cuyana's looks really good

I'm generally not a backpack person either - I wore a black Longchamps down to the studs every day in high school and college - but now that I've got joint issues, I figured if I *have* to wear a backpack it might as well be the fanciest one around.
