We’ve mentioned the gorgeous laptop bags and work totes made by the Australian company, My Best Friend is a Bag, before — but I’m honored to work with them today to do a sponsored post. See here for more info on sponsored posts and other partnerships. – Kat

When I think of the company My Best Friend is a Bag, I think of laptop totes for working women that are that rare mix of beautiful and functional — and designed by a woman who actually knows how difficult it can be to look stylish but professional on a commute to work. The company founder, Australian advertising maven Janie Bartlett, has noted that she thinks a great work bag is “like a true best friend — it never leaves your side, shares all your secrets, and will help you look great and stay organized while you lead your busy life.” She couldn’t find one on the market, so she left the ad world in 2012 to focus on building her company. BFB’s beautiful bags are all vegan, and they all contain a ton of smart features to help you stay organized while you lead a busy life, such as a fob for your keys; studded feet to protect the bottom of your bag; pockets big enough for a cell phone, passport, pack of business cards; and more — all with brushed nickel hardware and zippers. The bags are all hand-stitched using premium vegan leather, so they’re lightweight, waterproof, and long-wearing. Ah, yes: While the company is based in Australia, the bags are all available in the U.S. through Amazon, where they consistently get fabulous reviews. They’re even eligible for Amazon Prime — nice!
Seriously, every bag the brand has is gorgeous. Some of my favorites right now include:

Nice! I think I will buy. Like the price point too. Thank you.

I don’t own any of these, but I love that they have nice long handle drops. Nothing is worse than a heavy work tote that is awkwardly hanging off to the side because it can’t sit on your shoulder well! I can’t wait to check these out.

SENREVE – ladies, check them out now. Beautiful and functional bags. Highly quality leather in range of colors. Investment pieces, to be sure, but the entire line is under $1000. I am in love with the Maestra.
