Don’t leave home without a stylish laptop bag
Work-at-home moms do some of their best work away from home. Whether you find your creative zen in a local coffee shop or the local library, with your kids playing and reading nearby, a protective laptop bag will help protect your computer — and all of the files stored there. Find a bag that works with your style, and you can carry your computer without worry.
More than a protective case
You can protect your tech at home with fabulous products — we found twelve we love — but that doesn’t always help when you need to get out of the house quickly. Laptop covers or sleeves are perfect for around the house, but a dedicated laptop bag really makes a difference if you plan on working outside the home, whether it’s for a full-time position or an afternoon in another location. Your everyday bag probably doesn’t have room for your sleeved laptop unless you juggle the contents — pull out the makeup bag and errant water bottles, add laptop and your favorite highlighters.
Why a fashionable laptop bag is worth the investment
You may have a shelf full of totes, but investing in a laptop bag is a smart move for your tech. Keeping your laptop protected is important, and laptop bags are designed to pad your computer from the jostles, bumps and bangs that occur when you’re standing in line or dropping your bag against the legs of your chair. Stylish laptop bags are available for any budget, and savvy moms know there’s something empowering about feeling proud of the way you look when you walk into the room. We’ve rounded up seven chic laptop bags in a variety of styles and price points.

Keep your laptop bag work-ready
If you leave the house for work more than a couple times a week, it makes sense to keep your laptop bag packed and ready to go. Think about what you really need when you’re going to work on your latest projects, and pack accordingly.
Keep these in your bag:
- Slim notebook for ideas
- Two or three of your favorite pens
- Handful of your business cards
- Chapstick
- Hand sanitizer
Add to bag immediately before leaving the house:
- Wallet
- Small water bottle
- Phone
- Laptop
Do you work better in your office — home or corporate — or in a more public place?

I am NOT a pink person, but I am loving that pink bag! It’s chic and classy, but not in-your-face bubblegum pink. I really need a laptop bag, with conferences coming up soon.
Can’t agree more with the idea of the article. I’ve been searching laptop bags for my mom, but it’s really sad to see many of them are just sleeves with straps. But I did found a bag and really want to share it with you. The Graceship bags are really stylish and are made just for laptops.
