Scouted: Dagne Dover’s Landon and Dakota Commute Bags Are the Best All-Around Commuting Bags I’ve Ever Experienced

For a while now, I’ve been searching for one perfect bag to use everyday: one that could take me to the gym, to the office, and later for a night out. That meant I was looking for function, professional form, and stylish looks in this one bag. Expecting just one bag to meet each of these set a high standard — one that Dagne Dover hit out of the park.

They sent me a few bags to try out — the Landon Carryall Duffel Bag and the Dakota Backpack. The biggest challenge I faced, to be honest, is deciding which one I liked more as my next everyday bag. After weeks of switching between the two during my commute from Brooklyn and into Manhattan, stops at the gym before going to the office, and evening events or dinners afterward, I’ve concluded that both of them work for work, for the gym, and for life. I do prefer one of them and I do love both of them (that’s kinda what it’s like when you have kids, right?) and will use them interchangeably in the coming months.
