No woman who considers herself a city schlepper (hi, it\u2019s me) will deny the power of a good haul-everything bag. Yes, there are the old faithfuls\u2014a.k.a. the classic leather totes and laptop bags\u2014but, speaking from personal experience, nothing leads to growth quite like change. And so, I\u2019m setting aside my trusted hobo and bucket bags in lieu of something different this spring: a doctor bag. More specifically, DeMellier\u2019s Stockholm bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While a quality shopper tote will always have its place, there\u2019s something to be said about a more structured but nonetheless functional doctor bag<\/a>\u2014plus, this particular handbag style was a mainstay on the runways last year, and I have a feeling they won\u2019t be leaving us anytime soon. So, why not incorporate one into my rotation of commuter-friendly carryalls? I\u2019ve had my eye on DeMellier\u2019s large Stockholm bag since it first launched. The sleek, duffel-like design combined with the lack of noticeable hardware caught my eye immediately. Factor in the durability I\u2019ve come to know the London-based brand for along with the ultra-chic brown suede<\/a>, and I was sold.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve only been using this bag for about a week, but it\u2019s already becoming an easy favorite. While I wasn\u2019t quite sure about the overall structure (in terms of function) for my daily commutes at first, I\u2019ve come to absolutely love it. The size feels perfect for everyday essentials (i.e. lunch, a book, a notebook, my wallet, and a small cosmetics pouch). And thanks to the longer shoulder straps, this fits well underneath my arm and rests right at my hip, allowing for easy access to said essentials without leaving the entire top wide open.<\/p>\n

The Stockholm features the durable cowhide leather found in DeMellier\u2019s other beloved styles, like the now-iconic New York tote<\/a> (a bag my colleague Laura Tarafa<\/a> has been wearing regularly)\u2014and for a bag that I foresee using daily, that\u2019s important. That said, it\u2019s also started to gain a little bit of that lived-in wear that only adds to its character. As for what it holds, there\u2019s a center pocket for a 14-inch laptop or smaller, as well as an interior zip pocket, and two dedicated pockets for smaller items, which I\u2019ve used for my keys and lip balm. Let\u2019s be honest: Organization is key when you fill your bags to the brim!<\/p>\n

\"Person<\/p>\n

DeMellier<\/p>\n

I love this bag so much, I\u2019ve also opted for the Small Stockholm<\/a>, which is exactly what I need for running around the city for weekend brunch, drinks with my friends, or other occasions where I only require my phone, wallet, keys, and lip balm. Of course, one can fit a little more in there (I\u2019ve also got hand cream and mints), but I love how adorable (dare I say demure?) it looks with my more casual ensembles. That said, she can also be the type to be dressed up, so there\u2019s a range of opportunity for this mini bag. And given the collection\u2019s popularity, DeMellier has been so kind as to grace the world with more iterations of the Stockholm, including a boxier east-west<\/a> style that I know many an It girl will be carrying this season.
