13 Toiletry Bags That Will Look Cute on Any Hotel Vanity

Travel packing made easy.

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Here at ELLE.com, we’re self-professed travel beauty experts and believe a good toiletry bag should tick off a few boxes, from functionality to added features to fabric. Of course, design is essential, too. Ask yourself: Is this bag engineered to house full-sized products? Can you house your brushes and tools separately from the other products? Is it coated in wipe-proof fabric for easy clean-up? Can you lug your entire seven-step skin routine? The right toiletry bag should be able to fit your favorite skincare sets , clarifying shampoos , and must-have makeup products .

Our picks for the best toiletry bags in 2024

Calpak medium clear cosmetics case.

Best for Backpacking

Sea to summit hanging toiletry bag.

Yes, it’s quite a big ask, but they do exist—and we found them. As vacation pros and beauty product hoarders, we tested the best toiletry bags based on the market, considering factors like size, fabric, organization, and perused online consumer reviews to find the 13 best ones. Ahead, shop our discoveries to make your next OOO adventure even better.

Keep your makeup brushes and products organized and free of any spills or mishaps with a bag made with functionality and ease in mind. The bottom compartment is a full-zip cubby large enough for eyeshadow palettes or brushes, while the top zipper opens to reveal a space for more compact items.

Material : Nylon

Dimensions : 10.2” L x 6.2” W x 4.9” H

Size : One size

Colors : Mauve

Rare Beauty rating : 4.6/5 stars

An ELLE editor says : “As someone who hates having to go out of my way to purchase TSA-approved beauty items, I love finding a toiletry bag that can easily house my makeup products and tools. I use the bottom layer to house my brushes away from any liquids and creams, and reserve the top layer for flat products like powders or blush.”— Nerisha Penrose , ELLE.com beauty commerce editor

Calpak’s new cosmetics case is genius because it features multiple compartments separated by zippers to store tons of goodies neatly. The transparent exterior makes it easy to grab whatever product you need quickly, and one wipe will remove any marks or spills. If the medium size isn’t your jam, opt for the small or large so you can take as few or as many products as you want.

Material : PVC/polyester

Dimensions : 9.75” x 5” x 7.5”

Sizes : Small, medium, and large

Colors : Dragonfruit, emerald green, lavender, navy, white, black, caramel, and mauve

Calpak star rating : 4.9/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t grab this cosmetics bag because of its bright pink interior. Then, I started unzipping the compartments and immediately started mentally adding travel-sized beauty goods to my cart. There are so many varying sizes housed in this cute pink case, including two large side pockets and a mini pouch in the middle for tiny knickknacks.” — Nerisha Penrose

If you’ve accidentally knocked a foundation off your bathroom counter or splashed too much water on your toiletry bag resting on the sink, a hanging bag is exactly what you need. This Sea to Summit bag features a sizeable flap with a few tiny compartments to house small trinkets, and one large bottom pouch to keep your products standing tall and firm without any spills or mishaps. The bag even comes with a compact mirror for quick touch-ups.

A Sea to Summit reviewer said : “Excellent product design, lightweight with strong materials. I have taken this bathroom bag on numerous adventures, overseas, and motorcycle camping excursions and have had no problems. I like the strong zipper, internal mirror, and overall function of the design. I would purchase and replace it again if I lost it. Thanks, Sea to Summit, for another good product.”

Material : Coated cotton exterior; polyester and rayon interior

Dimensions : 9.5” x 7” x 3”

Dimensions : 11" H x 16" W x 5" L

Sephora star rating : 4.5/5 stars

A Sephora reviewer said : “I’ve had countless makeup bags in my life, and this one is by far my favorite. It holds all my makeup and the different-sized pouches enable me to organize to my heart’s content. It’s also really, REALLY easy to clean. I recently emptied out the pouches, tossed them in the wash, and wiped down the bag itself with a makeup wipe, and it was as good as new! Be forewarned, it’s massive, but if you have a lot of makeup, it’ll meet your needs perfectly!”

H&M Large Toiletry Bag

Sonia Kashuk Makeup Organizer Bag Set

Smaller bags within one larger carryall is always a smart way to keep things organized. This four-piece set from Sonia Kashuk comes with everything you could possibly need, whether you’re headed away for a weekend or two weeks. Toss your makeup brushes into the pencil case, your larger products into the square-zip pouch, your smallest items into the round-top bag, and all three bags into the transparent tote for easy access.

Material : Polyester, PVC

Dimensions : H 8in x W 13in x D 5.5in

Colors : Black/Stripe

Target star rating : 4.7/5 stars

A Target reviewer said : “This set has lasted me over two years of travel with regular cleanings. It’s very durable and overall a classic look.”

How do I choose the best toiletry bag?

First and foremost, consider how big your collection is and the types of products you’ll be storing. For instance, if you tend to pack light or your routine is somewhat minimal, a small zippered pouch should suffice. On the other hand, if you’re a professional makeup artist or a beauty enthusiast with a sizable collection, you’ll want a larger case with plenty of compartments to hold all your bottles, palettes, brushes, tubes, tools, and more. Look for options with special compartments that hold bottles upright, and consider styles that can hang, as they’re easily accessible and won’t overcrowd a small bathroom counter.

Remember that the larger the toiletry bag, the more room it will occupy inside your luggage. To find a happy medium, look for styles that can store your skincare and makeup essentials while occupying a reasonable space in your suitcase or duffel.

What fabric is best for a toiletry bag?

No matter which style you choose, it’s always a good idea to look for options made with durable, easy-to-clean materials like PVC or polyester, so makeup mishaps are a cinch to fix. Also, consider waterproof fabrics to avoid spills leaking through to the rest of the contents in your suitcase (aka, a traveler’s worst nightmare).

The Best Makeup Bags for Keeping Beauty Products Organized

Our evaluations and opinions are not influenced by our advertising relationships, but we may earn a commission from our partners’ links. This content is created independently from TIME’s editorial staff. Learn more about it.

Even though they seem like an afterthought, makeup bags are important for keeping the products essential to your daily routine organized—whether on the road, at home or for quick bathroom touch-ups on a night out. Because there’s nothing more annoying than digging through your purse trying to locate your favorite lip gloss when you’re in a rush. 

“The best makeup bags provide a convenient and portable way to organize and carry your beauty essentials, making it easier to access and use them when needed,” says LA-based Makeup Artist Amy Galloway. There’s a lot to take into consideration when purchasing a makeup bag to meet your own unique storage needs. To help you narrow it down, we’ve done the research to round up the best makeup bags of 2023—from roomy cosmetic cases with all the compartments to small but mighty options for on the go.

What to look for in the best makeup bags

While it’s easy to get caught up in what’s trending on TikTok or how cute a makeup bag looks visually (and, of course, that’s important too) what’s more critical though is if it’s functional for your life and fits your favorite tinted moisturizer, concealer, night cream, makeup brushes, and other essentials in a nice, neat fashion. 

Size and storage capacity

Size matters. You’ll want to look at the dimensions of whatever makeup bag you’re interested in to ensure the size works for you and your intended use—be it in your purse, suitcase or underneath the sink. If you plan to fill it up with toiletries, skincare products, makeup and more, you’ll need to make sure it’s big enough to house everything in an organized way. On the flip side, if it’s intended for on the go, is it small enough to stash in your purse comfortably? And can you open it and easily see and access everything at a glance?

Built-in organization

Regardless of size, the best makeup bags should offer some level of built-in organization—be it separate compartments, different-sized pouches or internal zippered pockets—so you know where everything is and can find what you need fast.

Makeup bags can take a beating, so it’s worth it to buy one that’s well-made, will protect your products, and won’t fall apart after a few months, especially if you’re a maximalist known to pack in as much as possible. 

Ease of cleaning

This one’s a biggie. Many modern makeup bags are waterproof to protect against spills or equipped with a machine-washable interior so when the inevitable makeup mess happens you can just throw it in the wash for quick cleaning. This is important for sanitary reasons too, as makeup bags can carry dirt and bacteria so you want to be able to wipe it down easily.

Our top picks for the best makeup bags

Best budget makeup bag: glossier the beauty bag.

Whether or not you buy into the Glossier hype, the 400+ positive reviews speak for itself when it comes to this bestselling, budget-friendly Beauty Bag. Yes, it’s tall enough to fit your full-size skincare bottles upright and compact enough to slip right into your gym bag, beach bag or tote for portability. 

It has a coated cotton material to protect against makeup mishaps and a removable snap-button interior pouch for your convenience. There’s also lots of little pockets and compartments so you can organize everything to your liking—and actually find it when the time comes.

Specifications:

What we like:

• Lots of built-in organization with a removable interior pouch
• Fits some full-size skincare products upright
• Affordable, especially for the quality
• Coated cotton material protects against spills

What we don’t like:

• It’s on the smaller side, so not ideal if you like to take a ton of products with you
• Only comes in one color

The Beauty Bag

Best makeup bag for travel: kusshi vacationer makeup bag  .

Bring your entire bathroom with you with the Kusshi Vacationer. Okay, you probably shouldn’t do that, but this luxe, surprisingly spacious makeup bag has the room for it. It can hold an impressive 25-35 products and still fit in your carry-on bag comfortably. 

It’s machine-washable, making it easy to clean, and opens on all three sides for easy access and visibility. There are tons of fun color options to choose from too, and the inner linings on each bag come in bright or light hues so you can spot your stuff in a flash. Available in a premium leather or satin fabric, the Kusshi features two mesh pockets to stash your small stuff and a large interior zip pocket for even more organization.

• An extra snap-in organizer, which is helpful for efficiency, has to be purchased separately, adding to the already expensive cost

Best makeup bag for your purse: stoney clover lane classic slim pouch .

Made of durable and water-resistant nylon, this slim pouch packs a punch in color (so many fun and classic options to choose from), as well as space for all your beauty essentials on the go.

• Material: Nylon
• Compartments: 1
• Care: Spot clean

What we like: 

• It’s super durable and easy to clean

• Only one main compartment so less opportunity to organize

Stoney Clover Lane

• It’s on the heavier side, which can be a con if you like to pack light

Adorned with so many Gucci signatures, including the gorgeous gilded hardware and red and green webbing, the Ophidia is a timeless cosmetic case with plenty of space to store your luxury beauty essentials. We love the two-way zip closure and flat base, which prevents your products from falling out when you open it all the way.

• Compartments: One, with elasticized pockets 
• Care: Clean with a soft, dry cloth

Best makeup bag with compartments: etoile collective duo vanity case.

If you’re not the throw-everything-into-one-big-bag-and-pray kind of girl, this sizable Duo Vanity Case will be your BFF. This is one of the best makeup bags if you’re a stickler for organization, as it features a high-bottom compartment to sit all your skincare products and foundations upright, as well as a wide-top compartment for larger palettes, and a compact mirror that folds out for touch-ups. We especially like the detachable flexible insert divider with pockets for the bottom compartment as it offers so much extra and, in our opinion, necessary organization. The nylon lining ensures any spills and makeup messes are quick to clean up.

Best clear makeup bag: calpak small clear cosmetic case  .

A clear choice when it comes to travel (it’s TSA-friendly) and everyday makeup organization, too. The CALPAK Clear Cosmetic Case is a cult-favorite, TikTok viral sensation and it certainly lives up to the hype, with over 3,000 sold by the brand alone each month and an average 4.8 out of 5 star rating from over 500 enthusiastic reviewers. 

Some features to love, aside from the obvious being able to clearly see your stuff, are the lay-flat carrying handle to take it anywhere, two roomy zippered compartments for all the things and a water-resistant lining to stand up to spills.

Puffy Toiletry Bag

How we chose the best makeup bags.

We spoke with a seasoned makeup artist to discover what features to look for in the best makeup bags, from quality and portability to storage space, built-in organization and ease of cleaning, then used that criteria to curate a list of bestsellers and top-rated options (according to real reviewers) in each category. 

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the best fabric for makeup bags.

According to Galloway, nylon is a popular choice for makeup bags, especially the lining, as it offers several advantages. “It’s strong and resistant to wear and tear, making it longer-lasting. It also protects makeup from water damage and is easy to clean,” she says. Last, nylon is lightweight so your makeup bag won’t weigh you down.

What is the difference between a makeup bag and organizer?

“A makeup bag is a portable case for carrying cosmetics, while an organizer is a stationary storage system to keep cosmetics organized in one place,” notes Galloway.

How many makeup bags do I need?

Generally speaking, Galloway recommends two: “One that you can keep in your purse and use for travel and one for everyday organization.” Some women may want a compact one for their purse, a larger one for longer vacations and an organizer for at home—it depends on your personal needs and whether you’re a minimalist, maximalist or just like to be hyper organized for every scenario.

What is the best way to pack makeup?

The more you can pare down, the better, and consider packing multi-purpose products to save space. For organization, group like things together, such as all your makeup brushes in one compartment, liquids in another, powders in another and so forth. You may also have your own method of grouping cosmetics that works for you, such as makeup in one compartment and skincare in another.

What’s the best way to clean makeup bags?

Always check the care instructions for your particular makeup bag. Generally, Galloway suggests using a damp cloth with soap—or even a makeup wipe or Clorox wipe—to wipe your makeup bag down.

The Best Rare Beauty Bags 🫶🏼

Rare Beauty is the g.o.a.t. in many ways, but can we take a minute to talk about their bags?! I think it’s safe to say their iconic quilted tote is the bag that launched a thousand ships lol. These aren’t really on the affordable side in my opinion, so I thought I’d share which bags I think are worth the splurge:

1. In first place I’d say is the relatively new ‘Puffy Toiletry Bag’ ($50) which I use as a makeup bag when traveling. I actually think this is a fantastic makeup bag—you can fit so much more than you would think (in its 2 main compartments), and I love that the quilted top keeps your palettes safe.

2. Second is kind of random, but I really like their black ‘Rare Impact Backpack’. It’s really great quality for the price ($40), not too big or too small, and has helpful compartments (inner cushioned laptop pocket, strong bottle pockets, etc.)

Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty Just Released Their First-Ever Merch Collection

That hoodie. 👀

It really wasn't enough for Selena Gomez to take over your entire makeup bag, she had to come for your closet too. Late last night, the "Selfish Love" singer released a super limited merch drop for her cosmetics company Rare Beauty—the brand's first ever.

The unexpected news dropped on the official IG. "We heard you couldn't wait for the Rare Beauty Oversized Hoodie so we decided to release it early for ya. 😏," the caption reads, alongside a few photos of an absolutely *glowing* Selena. "Get it now, along with the NEW Puffy Weekend Bag only on RareBeauty.com!"

Now, almost 12 hours later, the $45 hoodie design is completely sold out. Sad, I know. But there is some good news— two things, as a matter of fact.

• The squashy weekender is still shoppable for only $38.
• With this kind of popularity, you can bet that hoodie will be restocked very soon.

Calpak luka expandable laptop tote.

Nubily Laptop Messenger Bag

Most Versatile

Dagne dover signature tote.

The Luka tote impressed GH analysts immediately. We love that it's available in a range of colors from bright hues to classic neutrals so all of our testers were able to find a look they loved . This bag has convenient zippered pockets on the top and side so you can easily access your phone, keys or wallet on the go, and you can even unzip the bottom of the bag to make it up to 4 inches larger for storing more accessories, like chargers or notepads.

In Lab tests, the laptop sleeve was suitable for devices anywhere between 13 to 17 inches. Our pros also love the bag's lightweight design and soft material, which makes it convenient to carry around whether you're traveling or commuting to the office. Plus, there's a luggage sleeve so you can slip it onto your carry-on for even easier transportation.

Laptop size: Up to 17", according to tests

This sleek and simple laptop bag can be carried as a messenger bag or tote making it particularly versatile. It features a padded, built-in laptop sleeve as well as separate compartments and pockets to keep all your essentials organized. It’s also lightweight at just 1.9 pounds when empty. We love that this pick is available in 10 different colors, and it's affordable enough to grab in multiple shades to match your whole wardrobe.

With over 11,000 reviews on Amazon, shoppers love that it’s sturdy — but not bulky — and fits everything they need. It also has a top zipper closure and adjustable strap length for a better fit.

Laptop size: 15.6"

Perfect for work, travel, running errands and more, we can't get enough of this super versatile laptop bag that fits everything you need, all while looking both chic and professional . Our analysts love that it features rounded shoulder straps for comfortable carrying, as well as a zippered top, a small storage compartment and a hook for your keys. Bonus: There's a water bottle holder inside so you stay hydrated!

In Lab tests, we were able to fit a 13-inch laptop into the dedicated laptop sleeve easily, though larger laptops still fit inside the bag (just not inside the sleeve). Although we wish it were available in more than three colors, the bag's professional, timeless design more than makes up for it.

Laptop size: 13"

Baggallini Essential Laptop Tote

For under $100, you can wear this simple laptop tote as a crossbody or shoulder bag. But what we love most is that it comes with tons of organizational features, including credit card holders, zippered compartments and a laptop sleeve suitable for larger devices (though in Lab tests we noted that the Velcro wasn’t fully secure with 17” computers). It also has two easy-access pockets on the front, one zippered and one opened, as well as a luggage sleeve on the back that can be zippered shut and used as a pocket.

Made of synthetic materials, the bag is easy to wipe clean when needed, and unlike other laptop bags, it comes with two water bottle holders on the sides. It's both functional and practical, weighing in at just over 1 pound.

EaseGave Multi-Pocket Work Tote

Finally! A stylish laptop bag that doesn't cost a fortune. This popular pick on Amazon has adjustable straps and comes in four colors (including black and a pretty soft pink), and it fits laptops up to 15.6 inches in its padded laptop sleeve. We love the chic stitching and buckle details.

One GH Textiles Lab analyst used this laptop bag throughout college. She says the structured, professional look makes it perfect for interviews, and over 1,500 Amazon reviewers agree that it's worth the buy. Just note that it's a bit heavy at 2.6 pounds, so this pick might feel heavy for some, especially once you add a laptop.

Calpak Kaya 15 inch Laptop Backpack

If you'd rather carry everything on your back but hate the traditional look of backpacks, then try this fashionable laptop bag made of faux leather. Not only is it one of Calpak’s most popular styles, but it's also a favorite among GH Lab analysts.

The laptop sleeve is located in a totally separate compartment in the back, so you don't have to worry about anything scratching it when you're digging for other items. It also has a trolley sleeve so you can secure it on the handle of your suitcase for easy traveling. In testing, we loved its appearance and appreciated the roomy interior that holds an impressive amount without looking like a traditional travel backpack. Note that the backpack straps aren't padded, so it's not ideal to wear it for long periods of time.

Laptop size: 15"

Cuyana System Tote

Known as a sustainable fashion brand , Cuyana is popular for its versatile totes designed to be classic and long-lasting . The System Tote uses Italian leather and features a timeless design that our testers loved.

For ultimate organization, you can pair this bag with the brand's tote organizational system or sleek laptop sleeve , but note that these items cost extra. One tester shared, "I love the functional design of this bag! It always surprises me how protected my laptop feels once I place it in Cuyana's laptop sleeve, which actually snaps into the bag for a secure fit." While it is on the pricier side compared to other totes, its classic design and elegant colors ensure that it will never go out of style. But if you do have some extra wiggle room in your budget, we also love the brand's Double Loop Satchel bag, which features a built-in laptop sleeve and elevated design.

Laptop size: 13" or 16" options

Beis The Work Tote

Beis Travel is popular for offering smart solutions with trendy designs, and multiple GH staffers swear by this tote for work thanks to its stylish appearance and functional design. One said they "especially love the zipped top and metal feet on the bottom" that protect the bottom of the bag from touching the floor. This pick maintains its shape even when empty and has a luggage sleeve to fit nicely on top of a suitcase.

Testers loved its "classy and sleek" design and one said, "The design of this tote works really well," and it's "surprisingly lightweight for such a spacious bag." Note that the shoulder straps are thin, but the brand added a removable crossbody strap that’s more comfortable, according to testers.

Laptop size: 13" ( larger option is available for 16" laptops)

Lo & Sons O.G. 2

It's a challenge to keep your laptop safe while traveling, so we love that this pick from Lo & Sons has a built-in padded laptop sleeve to keep your tech secure when on the go. It's nearly the size of a weekender bag, so this pick has a roomy interior to fit everything you need when jetting off on a work trip or vacation.

One Textiles Analyst swears that this is the ultimate overnight bag. It features a separate shoe compartment, convenient zippered pockets and a sleek nylon exterior that's easy to keep clean. "I especially love the built-in water bottle holder and luggage sleeve to fit on top of my suitcase," she said.

Laptop size: 13" in medium and large sizes

Quince Classic Italian Leather Tote

For a 100% leather bag, this tote is a total steal at just $100. The Quince laptop bag features a laptop sleeve, open compartments and zippered pockets. The top of the bag doesn't zip closed, but testers appreciated its structured shape.

"I like the look of the tote bag and how easy it is to pack: roomy in the center with a separate section for my laptop," said one tester. "Also, the roomy pockets inside are convenient and make sorting and separating contents easy so they are easier to find." Although this bag stands up on its own, testers wish the bottom had little feet to keep the base from touching the floor.

Laptop size : 13"

Dagne Dover Dakota Neoprene Backpack

A backpack is often a more comfortable option than a tote, especially if you tend to carry a heavy load because it balances the weight on two shoulders instead of one. There are many laptop backpacks out there but we find this one extra comfortable thanks to the padded straps and smooth neoprene fabric. We love that this Dagne Dover bag is available in a range of colors . When we tested this at home, the straps felt soft and squishy, unlike some other backpack straps that can feel stiff or rough, making it feel luxurious to tote around.

It also has a laptop sleeve and an interior organization pocket. It comes with a pouch that can be attached to a leash to hold smaller items like lip balm or keys as well as a dust bag to keep shoes separate. One thing to note: GH Executive Director, Lexie Sachs , found her Dagne Dover neoprene bag tends to pill but she says she’s also very rough with her bags. Pro tip: To easily remove pills you can use a fabric shaver .

Laptop size: 13" (Medium), 16" (Large)

Longchamp Large Le Pliage Tote

This roomy tote bag from Longchamp has been a favorite among students for years, thanks to its simple design that holds everything they need while looking stylish. Its classic look makes it versatile, and many online reviewers say they have used this bag through college and beyond.

"I LOVE how spacious this bag is and how many items I can fit in the bag without it feeling bulky or overfilled," said one GH Analyst. "I can comfortably fit my laptop, toiletries bag, lunch Tupperware and so much more in this bag daily." She notes that the bag easily folds up for simple storage when not in use. The only thing she wishes is that the bag offered more organizational features like pockets or compartments. "I cannot boast enough about this bag, and absolutely will be using it for many years to come and convincing all of my friends to get one for themselves!"

Leatherology Aleena Soft Zippered Tote

When traveling on public transit or storing your bag in an overhead compartment, a zippered top is a must to keep your belongings safe. Leatherology is a favorite brand among GH staffers for creating high-quality pieces with a range of customization options like hand-painting and debossing, which cost extra. This pick is available in seven shades of supple, full-grain leather with a non-structured shape . Although there is no specific laptop compartment, we appreciate that this bag is over 20 inches wide to accommodate larger computers.

Laptop size: 16"

Madewell The Transport Tote

With many of us working from coffee shops and coworking spaces, a laptop bag no longer needs to be professional enough for office wear. The Transport Tote line from Madewell has a more casual, lived-in look while still using durable leather materials. This tote was a tester favorite for being ideal to use whether heading to work, running errands or traveling. Madewell also offers this bag in different sizes and materials too.

One tester said, "I have other leather totes that are more saggy and flexible, but I like how this one kept its shape. It really has been so versatile for me — I've used it for work, with my kids and going to events, and it always fits everything I've needed." Some GH staffers have even noted that their Transport Totes have stayed in great shape even after years of use.

How we test laptop bags for women

Lab analysts at the Good Housekeeping Institute have tested hundreds of bags, from all types of luggage to backpacks for college students to tote bags and more. When we test laptop bags, we first evaluate them in our Textiles Lab, rating how well they fit a laptop, the number of pockets present and if there's a padded laptop sleeve included or built-in. Next, we ask testers to try out laptop bags during their everyday routines, commuting to the office, traveling and more. These picks are based on a recent test where we evaluated more than 20 styles as well as expertise from previous backpack and luggage testing.

Amanda Constantine , Home & Apparel Reviews Analyst, evaluates a backpack's shape, organizational components and laptop compartment to score the bag's overall design features.

What to look for when shopping for the best laptop bags

✔️ Pockets: To conveniently grab items on the go, look for bags with a sufficient amount of pockets. We like styles that have a mix of open compartments and zippered pockets to keep items accessible and safe.

✔️ Laptop size: Before buying a laptop bag, consider the size of your laptop. Most bags will list what size computers they can accommodate, but if it's not listed, look at the bag's dimensions to ensure a good fit. While many laptop bags have a built-in or included laptop sleeve, not all do, so you may need to purchase a laptop sleeve separately.

✔️ Materials: Leather, faux leather and nylon are popular materials for laptop bags. While leather is more durable, faux leather is a more affordable option. Synthetic materials like nylon are easier to clean compared to leather styles.

✔️ Straps and handles: Tote bags feature shorter shoulder straps, but some also have a longer crossbody strap. If you plan to carry a heavier load, a padded crossbody strap can make it more comfortable to wear.
