Made for the Woman on the Go
L&M began in 2019 out of necessity for a work bag that integrates all the needs of professionals on the move. Subject to few options or the "pink and shrink" phenomenon, we as women are often left carrying two bags (the "nice one" and a tote bag) or a plain computer bag with little aesthetic value. We also found many "fast fashion" options that were not made to last. The Workbag strives to be as beautiful as it is functional.
Handmade in New York City
The L&M Workbag is handmade from start to finish here in New York City from 40+ components and pattern pieces. From day one, we have only collaborated with small businesses, veteran owned businesses, and US factories to make our Workbag. We strongly believe in supporting this. As L&M grows, we will continue to work with those that prioritize worker safety and fair compensation.
Made of Cactus Leather
At L&M, we value using premium materials that are ethically sourced with a conscious regard for environmental impact. We are proud to make our work bag in an alternative cactus leather that mimics traditional leather seamlessly. As technology advances and more materials become available to small businesses, we are dedicated to continuing our search for ethical and environmentally friendly materials.
Our Signature Shoe Keeper
We are excited to introduce our Signature Shoe Keeper - a secret compartment located at the bottom of our Workbag designed to be separate from your belongings. Use it to hold your sneakers, flats, or a wet umbrella once you’ve arrived at all the places you’re going. When not in use, the compartment folds up snuggly and can be secured to the side of the bag. L&M Workbag’s Signature Shoe Keeper supports the needs of every professional, in every city.
Ethically Sourced
Made in New York
Thoughtfully designed and exceptionally made in NYC, our Edition 1.0 Workbag was built to meet your every need — whether you're in the office or on the go. Edition 1.0 is created from cactus leather and features solid brass hardware. L&M Workbag is female founded and run.
Our commitment to sustainability.
By creating a bag made from Cactus Leather — a biobased product that is readily available, cost-comparative, and performs as well as and often better than it’s traditional counterparts; we are dedicated to ethical luxury and proud to do our part in reducing global climate change.
The USDA Certified Biobased Product label displays a product's biobased content, which is the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks. Utilizing renewable, biobased materials displaces the need for non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. Biobased products, through petroleum displacement, have played an increasingly important role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that exacerbate global climate change.
