The new year is a great time to upgrade your workflow with a chic and practical tote bag. Whether you work in an office or grind from coffee shops — or simply have a lot of cargo to carry — a timeless tote bag is a well-worthy investment for hauling a day’s worth of essentials in style.

Shoppers say Moda Luxe’s Woven Unlined Tote Bag and Pouch “looks and feels expensive” and offers “sturdy” and “roomy” storage for the work day. It’s on sale today for just $60, which is a steal, considering a very similar designer style would otherwise cost you 128x the price.

This luxe-looking carryall features a flexible, slouchy faux leather structure,a largeunlined interior compartment, and a firm base for securely holding items.. Its two shoulder straps, which measure 7 inches, are long enough to comfortably sit on the shoulder over thick outwear, while also serving as top handles when you’d rather carry it as a purse. Additionally, the tote comes with a detachable pouch bag, which you can use to stow small items like your ID, wallet, phone, and makeup for touch-ups.

One reviewer who “purchased it in two colors,” describes it as “lightweight and functional,” while another says it’s the “perfect tote” that’s “large enough” for a laptop. “This is such a great bag on so many levels,” said another shopper. “[It’s] big enough to throw a sweatshirt in along with your wallet and cosmetic bag. It’s lightweight and looks just like a Bottega Veneta at a fraction of the cost.”

The bag they’re likely referring to is the Cabat Small Leather Tote Bag, which has a jaw-dropping price tag of $7,700. Although Bottega Veneta’s version features premium leather craftsmanship, it is significantly more shallow than Moda Luxe’s, so there’s not enough room to store a laptop with other large items. Both iterations also come with a handy pouch and bring the same level of polish to casual or professional outfits.

You’re better off saving thousands of dollars with this deal on Moda Luxe’s already-affordable woven tote. Plus, you can wear it beyond the office, whether as a shoulder bag for date night, an in-flight personal bag, or a posh hauler for next week’s groceries.
