This Fall, the Work Bag Is Doing the Dressing

Elle has assembled an edit of work bags for the fall season, selected with the daily commute as the brief. The thinking is that the right bag carries more than a laptop: it carries the entire look from the train platform to the conference table. The magazine's promise is that whoever walks in holding one will be the most sharply turned out person in the room. For anyone crossing town to an office this autumn, it is the piece to settle before the coat.
