Once you become a mom, the status of your bag changes from precious and beautiful to spacious and handy! Being a mother is already a full-time job, and IF you’re a working mother, then your on-the-go essentials weigh more than your at-home essentials. You definitely need a large tote bag, a cross body bag or a handy leather backpack that would rest easily on your shoulders and provide ample space, pockets, and pouches for storing your tablet, your cell phone, plus your infant’s extra set of diapers, snacks, hankies and other necessary items.

Moreover, since you’re a working mom, style is something you CANNOT compromise on. In this case, a dream handbag would be something that not only looks beautiful but is just as functional and convenient.
