Our working lives look incredibly different now compared to five years ago. While most of us will certainly agree that work-life balance has changed for the better, the cushy hybrid working scenario that we’ve managed to make the norm might not exist for good if certain office-happy CEOs get their way. Nevertheless, for the time being at least, hybrid and remote working is part of daily life across the globe.

Perhaps the only setback associated with being able to work remotely from the beach (and we’re really pulling at straws here), is the fact that you have to bring the office with you. That means having your laptop , chargers, notepads , pens , reusable water bottles , headphones and sticky pads ready to go at all times. The solution is simple.

Briefcases have long been the preferred accessory of the corporate elite, but they tend to have inherently masculine undertones. Of course, if that’s your style – by all means, opt for a luxurious, high-end leather option with sterling silver buckles. However, if you’re in the market for a more contemporary, feminine aesthetic with essential modern features like a laptop sleeve, you’ve arrived in the right place.

We’ve curated a selection of the best laptop bags for women, to take you from home to the office and beyond the border (we won’t tell if you don’t). Shop the hybrid working essential below..
