When I bought my first Longchamp Le Pliage tote bag at the tender age of 15, I didn't realize it would stay with me for nearly two decades. Now, as I approach 30, it's a must-have laptop-friendly pick in my rotation—and I get more use out of it during New York Fashion Week than any other time.
As a shopping editor, Fashion Week quickly descends into a game of "How much can I do in 24 hours?" and "How quickly can I get to where I need to go?" Days are filled to the brim with long-haul rides in sweaty subway cars or in the backseats of Ubers to any number of presentations, fashion shows, and parties. You will never see me without my favorite work bag, often with my computer, a book, and a pair of comfortable shoes to change into neatly tucked away inside.
