Finding the perfect bag for school or for work is always a big challenge. Through my years as a student here at UC Berkeley I have gone through tons of bags searching for the perfect one. From backpacks to totes to satchels not one bag has been able to carry all of my essential items. It wasn’t until I stumbled upon Dagne Dover that I found what all millennial working women has been eagerly searching for.

Dagne Dover is a NYC company who has been able to solve every woman’s biggest handbag problem. With a few honorable mentions in WWD and Fashionista, Dagne Dover has created bags that are not only fashionable but also workable and durable. The birth of Dagne Dover came two years ago in the hands of CEO Melissa Mash, Creative Director Jessy Dover and COO Deepa Gandhi who “couldn’t find bags that worked for [them] so [they] created them.”  The peculiar name of the company not only comes from Ms. Dover’s surname but also from the Nordic word Dagne, which means “New Dawn.”

The inside of the bag is literally heaven. There are pockets that include a water bottle holder, laptop sleeve (hallelujah), iPad sleeve, keystrap, metrocard holder and much more. It’s a bag that allows you to zip up the accented gold zipper and carry your entire life in it. Perfect for school and work.

If you don’t like big bags don’t worry, Dagne Dover also gives you the option of a Mini Tote, which holds just as much as The Tote but in smaller quantities. There is also The Clutch-Wallet/Crossbody, which is as gorgeous as the handbags. Both are as fashionable and practical as the tote bag. 

No matter which Dagne Dover product you purchase, it is clear that these bags are the perfect and most practical bag for the millennial working women. I have finally found a bag that is organized and well structured. No more losing or misplacing my stuff in the midst of my bag. Head on over to Dagne Dover’s website and treat yourself because you deserve it. Oh and by the way, keep an eye out for their special fall and holiday collections coming soon.
