It’s almost 2023, and you’re getting used to this hybrid work schedule. Maybe you’re at home, maybe you’re back at work, and maybe you’re splitting time between the two

So you need a bag you can both bring to work…or bring your work to wherever you need to be. You’ll want something that’ll house your computer, chargers, cords, headphones and various tech accessories securely and in a highly organized fashion.

Basically, you want a tech Dopp kit, which (depending on the brand) will also be called a tech folio, portfolio or organizer. Below, we’ve selected 14 carriers that offer convenience and plenty of dedicated pockets.
