Polo Ralph Lauren Polo ID Large Shoulder Bag Gains Attention as Everyday Work-to-Play Accessory

New York office workers and fashion watchers are taking note of Polo Ralph Lauren's Polo ID Large Shoulder Bag as a versatile everyday carry that can accommodate a laptop, a lunch container and more without looking like a traditional work tote.

Borrowed and test-driven for a month, the tan version of the bag blends with a wide range of outfits—from a striped sundress to a khaki trench coat. Its Italian leather exterior and suede interior feel luxe, while the adjustable strap lets wearers switch between shoulder carry and crossbody. With minimal hardware and a slim brass polo-player emblem, the bag is understated enough for cocktail parties or press dinners yet spacious enough for daily essentials—MacBook, Tupperware, phone charger, makeup bag, and more.

Manufactured in large, small and mini iterations, the Polo ID Large Shoulder Bag earns praise for being large enough to hold everyday essentials and light enough to wear comfortably. The reviewer noted that it offers room to spare for items beyond the basics.

On its first day at the office, several colleagues stopped to ask about it. And shoppers have echoed the sentiment online: Bloomingdale’s customers have called the bag 'the most beautiful bag in my collection,' 'irresistible,' a 'perfect everyday bag' and 'gets better every day,' with one review describing it as 'prettier in person. Great quality, lots of room. Comfortable to wear.'
