Dagne Dover – Fashionably Smart Bags

Last year I found a fully functional handbag that change my life. At this time, I was using three methods of transportation to get to the lab, my car, the train (two stops), and then my feet to carry me the rest of the way. I’d been using a backpack, but I wanted something that screamed “I am a working Woman” more so than I’m on my way to class. As I shopped around I couldn’t find a quality bag that would hold my life plus a little bit more until I stumbled upon the Dagne Dover Tote. Dagne Dover’s philosophy is you are what you carry. I knew that I wanted to be taken seriously during my commute and I wanted people to look at me and think “she has her sh*t together, literally”. That is exactly how the Dagne Dover Handbag made me feel. 

The Dagne Dover Handbag comes in four different sizes, perfect for every aspect of life. The 15″ and 13″ totes are made for 7am-10pm living and are a God send for a commuter like me. While the Mini and the Tiny tote are great for use when you’re running errands or shopping with your friends. 

The 15″ Dagne Dover vs. The 13″ Dagne Dover

While the 15″ and 13″ tote comes in different sizes they have practically the same design on the inside of the bag with subtle differences found between the two. Let’s start with the outsides of the bag. The first difference, of course, is their size. The 15″ tote measures 15 x 7 x 12 while the 13 inch tote measures 14 x 5.5 x 11. The 15″ tote has an 8.5-inch handle drop while the 13″ tote has a 9inch handle drop. The handle on the 15″ tote stays rigid making it easier to grab while the 13″ tote handles fold down making it perfect for taking on a trip where you may have  to slide it under your seat or possibly in an overhead compartment. 

 

On the inside of the bag, you will notice differences in two areas. Due to its size the 13″ tote can only hold a laptop that is 13″ or smaller inside the padded laptop sleeve. The 15″ tote can hold a laptop 15″ or smaller making it the perfect place to fit the 15″ MacBook Pro. There is also a slot on both of these that will hold an iPad Air or smaller that sits right in front of the padded laptop sleeve. If you look opposite the padded laptop sleeve here you will notice that the 15″ tote comes with on long pocket below the zippered pouch while the 13″ tote comes with two medium size pockets that sit right below the zippered pouch.
