Bag to work!
Because when it comes to having the right handbag, we need one for every occasion - even to the office.
We’ve all been there before - lugging around our handbag, an extra tote bag for random things, and a laptop bag. And now that hybrid working, and more people are going back to the office, it is definitely time to figure out the best bag to bring out to keep us all well-organised. After all, behind every successful person… is fabulous right bag.

If you ask me, one of the best styles of bags to lug around is a big tote bag. I like big bags in general because i can throw so many things inside. But, of course, to stay organised, I have specific pouches for different things so that the items are not lost in the dark abyss that is the inside of my bag.
Anyway, because the work bag is part of our professional attire, it is always good to figure out what makes a good bag. I always believe that it should be attractive but not too flashy. It should also keep your work materials organised so it makes our job (and our life) easier. Plus, it should be strong enough to haul all of your gear.
Some questions to ask yourself include what goes in your bag to and from work? Do you travel a lot? Do you carry a laptop? Are you mostly commuting via public transport or are you driving a car? These questions will help you choose between a heavy, durable satchel with lots of hardware embellishments and a more streamlined tote.
When looking for the right bag, it is important to also ensure that your work bag won't send you to an orthopaedic doctor. So, look for strong handles and straps. The best bag, in my opinion, is one that you can carry two ways (or more) - in your hand and over the shoulders. You want to be able to change the way you carry your bag or it will start to hurt one part of your body.
One of the best bags, in my opinion, is the trusty leather tote bag. This is roomy enough for all of your essentials (basically your entire mobile office and social life). It’s also designed to be versatile enough to tote just about anywhere — from work to grocery runs, gym trips, all-day shopping excursions, and evenings out on the town.
Plus, for those looking for a practical tote bag that won't break the bank can opt for this vegetable leather tote bag from Mansur Gavriel.
