I'm a woman I have the tumi voyager. Bought is 3yrs ago and pre-covid it was decently common to see in the airport and I was even stopped and asked what bag I had. Honestly a great bag for work trips.

Wish it had more compartment bc I use it for personal travel now and its not as great for that but still works.

I was torn between tumi and Away everywhere backpack but I picked tumi. I honestly prefer the layout of the Away backpack but it was a new product with minimal reviews 3yrs ago so I didn't want to risk it. Maybe there are more reviews now to check out tho.

I’ve been looking at leather backpacks thinking it’s good for most work attire. There are lots of selections on Etsy. I’m a male (5’10 tall) just FYI and I’m eyeing the leather backpack from Satchel & Page. It might work as unisex depending on your size preference. One female reviewer did say she had to return it because it was too big.

I like Anello. I jumped on that craze years ago and still love my bag years later!

Umm how about we stop policing what genders should be wearing? It’s this kind of casual sexism that goes unnoticed in corporate - stop perpetuating it OP. Wonder what other skeletons are in the closet!

you stop it
