After designing my VanVeer, I imagined how it would look but in real life, it’s even more amazing than I expected! - Kiona
The Original is perfect for carrying all my essentials. Doctors love it, and it feels like a Mary Poppins bag for lactation consultations. Stylish, practical, and admired everywhere I go. - Christa
My bag is even prettier than the samples! The custom colors make it uniquely mine, truly one of a kind. - Geertje

Absolutely! While VanVeer bags are stunning, they’re also highly functional. Thousands of midwives and doctors use our bags as their everyday medical bag – combining elegance with practicality.
Based upon the experience and feedback of hundreds of midwives using a VanVeer doctor bag, we highly recommend a laptop compartment to store a laptop or A4 sheets, Two Side interior pockets to have small things on hand, a removable organizer to keep everything in place and an exterior zipper pocket for quick access to essentials like your keys and wallet.
Since already thousands of GPs are using a VanVeer doctor bag, we know exactly which compartments you need. We highly recommend a laptop compartment to store a laptop or A4 sheets, 2 side interior pockets to have small things on hand, a removable organizer to keep everything in place, and an exterior zipper pocket for quick access to essentials like your keys.
Each VanVeer is handmade just for you, with a lead time of 8/9 weeks. We understand this might feel long compared to “order today, receive tomorrow” shopping, but remember: we don’t carry stock. Every bag is uniquely crafted, and good things take time. Trust us – it’s worth the wait!
