These fashionable and functional investment pieces will become quickly become staples in your closet.

The minimalist vegan brand I’m currently obsessed with…

Jenny Lei, creator of handbag brand Freja New York, knows bigger isn’t always better.

I spotted my colleague Eliza wearing a style from NYC-based label Freja and immediately had to know more. The retro bowling-style shoulder bag reminded me of one from The Row, albeit at a fraction of the cost. 

More than ever, designers and brands are debuting sleek designs that are more than beautiful—they’re earth-friendly too. Think deadstock textiles, recycled fibers, and some of the best vegan handbags. 

Founded by Jenny Lei nearly three years ago, Freja is the result of Lei’s own fruitless search for an everyday bag that can keep up with a busy professional’s needs and still look good enough to wear for the off-hours.

Stress less during your 5-to-9 when you’re prepared for your 9-to-5.

We spoke to designers and women on the go—from content creators to entrepreneurs to writers—to find the very best laptop bags to shop now (and carry forever). 

Instead of taking whatever fits the most stuff, regardless of what it looks like, we found plenty of designs that don't force you to sacrifice fashion for function.

If you haven’t yet heard of Freja, be prepared to add it to your list of obsessions.
