Finding an everyday bag is much harder than you would think for a young professional.  A book bag may be fine on campus, but when it comes to a work environment, it probably isn’t the best choice.  On the opposite side of the spectrum, a briefcase is probably a bit much if you are still making your mark on corporate America.  If you are looking to avoid going the way of the messenger bag as a happy medium, take a look at the Stowe Tote ($130) from Filson in collaboration with Sebago.

Featuring some of the highest quality materials available, Sebago leather and Filson oil finish Tin Cloth, the Stowe is a bag that is made to not only stand up to the rigors of every day use, but literally whatever you can throw at it.  Beyond the large main compartment, the Stowe features cargo pockets on each side along with small leather pockets to cap off each end.  Tied together flawlessly with tonal nylon straps, this tote is one that looks fantastic new, and will only get better with age.
