A sleek and versatile work bag
If you want to head into the office every day in style, a sleek and practical work bag can help make that happen. During my latest trip to a local Coach Outlet store, I spotted the perfect work bag with a sleek and polished design that’s the dream combination of an everyday messenger bag and an office-worthy briefcase.
The Sullivan Portfolio Brief immediately caught my attention, particularly because of its rich blue color. I’m partial to a classic black bag, but Coach Outlet’s True Blue shade can add a pop of color to any work outfit, all while maintaining a stylish and professional appearance. It comes in six colors — including True Blue, silver and black, gunmetal and black, tan and black, charcoal and black, and gray and charcoal — and in Signature canvas, crossgrain leather, and pebbled leather.

Why do shoppers love it?
The bag features a laptop sleeve with a secure tab, along with zip and multifunction pockets inside. When I took a peek at the interior, it had a big main compartment that could easily fit all of your workday essentials. One shopper said it has “enough room for work documents and a laptop or iPad.” Its overall measurements are 15.25 inches long by 3.75 inches wide by 11.5 inches high, a great size that you can use not just for work, but as an everyday bag.
Holding the bag by the handles, which have a 4.5-inch drop, it felt comfortable and not too heavy. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that it also came with a detachable 25-inch strap that you can customize to wear as a shoulder bag, a crossbody bag, or as a messenger bag. It also felt super durable and structured, adding to its work-ready style.
In addition to work and everyday use, it would also be a great option for traveling. The dimensions fit well under the designated personal item restrictions for most airlines in the U.S., so you can fit it right under the seat in front of you.
