A good commuter bag is roomy enough to stow workplace essentials (think laptops and notebooks), provides a variety of organizers that allow you to grab your MetroCard or keys at a moments notice, and features ergonomic additions that make it comfortable to tote all your belongings to and from the office. A great commuter bag features all of the above, plus looks fashion-forward and professional, too.
If you're ready to trade in your current bag for a more stylish (and still wholly functional) option, consider adding one of these five accessories to your shopping cart. Each of these bags and backpacks meet our standards of a great commuter bag, providing commuters plenty of space for all their 9-to-5 belongings (and then some). Plus, many even go above and beyond, offering additional functionality like a waterproof exterior or built-in chargers to power up your smartphone, that make the designs that much better.

This is mainly because of their lack of organizational compartments that can force people to dump out all their belongings in search of their car keys, wallet, phone — you name it. But theBUG Large Tote Bagis convincing us that this design works just as well for commuters. It comes complete with 14 separate interior compartments that can give every commuting essential a safe and easily accessible home of its own.
