Many days of the week I am on the go. Whether is it an overnight trip up north or meetings around the city, I am out for the day and need everything with me. I used to carry a purse with my wallet, glasses, phone, camera and keys and then would bring a tote with my tablet, any relevant files, a notebook, pens and whatever else I would need.  There was also the water bottle and snacks that would get thrown on top wherever they would fit. And then I got my Dagne Dover Charlie Tote and my life changed and that is why it is the Please The Palate pick of the week. Dagne Dover tote bags are chic and stylish but more importantly they are exceptionally functional and that makes them the perfect work bag.
