As a fashion writer looking for wardrobe essentials on the daily, I thought finding the best work bag would be easy. But I was wrong, just like many basics, this is not a one-size-fits-all category–actually, the best work bag for women looks a little different for everyone.
Choosing a work bag depends on several factors: where you’re working, what you’re bringing to work and how you’re getting there. Every week can also look different, which is why it’s important to find a bag that not only keeps you organized but can take you from your workplace to after-work drinks or the gym.
To help you find the work bag that suits your lifestyle, ahead is a roundup ranging from compartment-heavy options to travel-friendly totes.
Compact Work Bag: Totes and Beyond
For a slim and mighty tote, consider Totes and Beyond’s Hybrid Market Tote. It is an elevated tote bag given its structured design, zippered top and many clever pockets. It’s especially nice if you’re taking your laptop to a coffee shop or a co-working space, then go out again, since it’s very easy to bring.
Trending Work Bag: GVN
We’ve been seeing GVN bags everywhere from our favorite influencers and content creators alike–and knew we had to include them on the list. The brand’s offering is very chic and functional, and therefore, easy to justify. Its spacious design and slouchy silhouette makes it the perfect companion for those who are always on-the-go.
Splurge-Worthy Work Bag: Longchamp
Longchamp’s Le Pliage Tote is a favorite among many office workers, for its durability. But this time, let us put the spotlight on Longchamp’s Foulonne, which is equally as stylish and functional. It ticks all the boxes of a sought-after essential. Practical and durable, its spacious volume can carry all your belongings.
