Meghan Markle's handbag collection is the stuff of my *dreams*—especially when it comes to the coveted Cuyana bag she's carried on repeat. If you missed it, Markle's worn the Paloma bag ($458) from the brand on multiple occasions, and while it's a great size for daily outings (royal or otherwise), it's on the more petite end of the purse spectrum. But if you, like me, have been itching for a new work bag, good news: The Paloma just launched in an even roomier tote size ($648) that's perfect for office (and travel) days. Considering how big of a fan Markle is of the brand, I wouldn't be surprised if she's already nabbed her own. (After all, she's also been seen sporting Cuyana's other weekender bags and totes.) Here are all the details on the new larger design that's available now in six different colors.

Cuyana

This luxe leather tote features a large main compartment that measures 21.5 inches in width, so you can easily stash your laptop in it—along with every other essential you might need for the day, from a light cardigan to your Kindle and water bottle. It also has two interior slip pockets that would be perfect for sliding your phone or keys in, plus a zippered side pocket for small items you want to keep extra secure. And if you thought I was done there, you'll also want to know that there's an exterior zippered pocket, too, and it's a great size to fit your sunglasses or that lip gloss you're always reaching for.

The sleek, chic bag is open at the top but has two leather strings that can be tied to keep the sides together, and can be carried by either the top handles or the longer shoulder straps. If you want to personalize it a bit with some added organization, you can always pick up one or two of the many bag organizers the brand offers, like this tote insert ($98) or laptop sleeve ($98).

Between the thoughtful details and high-quality materials that go into every Cuyana bag, not to mention their unique designs, it's easy to see why Markle has fallen in love with the brand. And if you have, too, don't waste any time before picking up this tote—considering how frequently the original Paloma bag has sold out, I wouldn't take your chances waiting with this one.
