When searching for your own, ask yourself, is it durable? Will it be sizable enough to fit all of your essentials—laptop, notebooks, planners , wallet , keys, and beauty staples ? Is it lightweight and comfortable enough to wear over your shoulders, especially during a daily commute? We’ve all learned the hard way—purchasing work bags that are too heavy to start with, and after filling them up, are almost too cumbersome to lug around, is not a smart investment. Vogue ’s Work Bag Edit: We’ve done the heavy lifting to bring you the ones that check all these boxes and more. Whether it be a classic, leather tote that is minimalist chic or a lightweight, canvas option to keep you moving all day without shoulder pain, all of these work bags are versatile enough to go from high-powered meetings in the morning to drinks at night.
You’ll find timeless, investment buys, such as Bottega Veneta’s Andiamo bag , designed with its signature intrecciato leather in a boxy silhouette, or The Row’s Park tote, which is a hand’s down, editor favorite made from the softest, Italian leather. However, don’t sleep on the affordable options either, like L.L.
Bean’s iconic Boat & Tote or Everlane’s New Day Market bag. Whatever one you.
