15 Chic Tote Bags Your Work Wardrobe Isn't Complete Without

And, as stressful as it was at the time (because who doesn’t want to come back with a bang), we have to admit we kind of miss it. There was something exciting about shopping for what felt like your chance for a post-summer revamp, with endless opportunity to come back from break better than ever.

Well, fear not because today we’ve found a way to relive our back-to-school shopping days without the actual school part. A fresh work tote is like the adult backpack, and you deserve to come back from your summer trip with a shiny new one to show off (and carry all your essentials, of course).

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
