Keep calm and carry on
Let’s face it — the best work bags will make your life easier while supporting your daily schedule. The key thing to remember when shopping for the best office bag is that it has to merge style and substance seamlessly. The good news is that there are plenty of accessories out there with the capabilities to be durable, fit all your essentials and be comfortable enough for you to lug around — to the office, on a plane or at a business meeting.
We suggest that you invest in a timeless work bag that will stay with you for years to come and seamlessly match your work attire. If you pick the right look, you’ll be ready to take on the day forever.
Below, we’ve curated a guide on the best office bags of 2024 for you to strut.
The best office bags of 2024 to go with you from high-powered meetings to drinks at night:
Loewe Puzzle Fold Tote
Inspired by the iconic geometry of the original Puzzle bag, designed by Jonathan Anderson in 2014, and the archival Origami bag, the Puzzle Fold tote features a unique graphic silhouette that merges sharp folds with malleability. Allowing it to flatten into a compact square and then unfold into a standing tote with just one seamless motion, the tote bag is the perfect travel and office companion, as it is both lightweight and spacious enough to hold all your essentials.
Dior Book Tote
If you prefer a one-and-done type work bag, consider investing in a timeless style you’ll use for years to come. Designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the Dior Book Tote has since become an emblematic fixture in Dior’s list of must-have bags. Designed to hold all the daily essentials — wallet, laptop, snacks and more — this bag can be carried by hand or worn over the shoulder. It’s feminine, iconic and chic all in one.
Prada Galleria
If you’re looking for a bag with structure, consider a more polished shape, like Prada’s Galleria bag. Sophisticated and timeless, the bag can elevate your everyday look without compromising on functionality. With three different compartments, all your things will be safely secured and organised throughout your work day. We obviously suggest the accessory in an extra-large version, so you can hold all of your work must-haves.
YSL Jamie 4.3 Pochon
Lightweight and spacious, the YSL Jamie 4.3 Pochon is a tote bag that combines style and substance. Featuring a drawstring chain for bespoke carry options, the bag can fit your laptops, tablets and files without making your accessory look frumpy or oversized. The best part? It’s also a bag that can take you from work to the weekend in no time.
Celine Louise
If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t need to lug around laptops but still needs a sizeable enough bag to fit all your essentials, then this one’s for you. The Celine Louise bag has function and style. It is lightweight and comfortable enough to wear over your shoulders or your body, especially during a daily commute. Plus, it’s also chic and stunning enough for you to strut without being too cumbersome.
Fendi Sunshine
Versatile and stylish, the Fendi Sunshine can be carried by hand with the two handles or you can opt to carry it on your shoulders. With its roomy interior, you’d never have to dig for your keys, pens or lip balm ever again. It’s also perfect for travel, too, in case you go from the office to the airport in a flash.
Longchamp Le Pliage
Embodying Parisian Chic, the Longchamp Le Pliage is a lightweight, foldable tote bag that can fit anything. Versatile and functional, the bag can adapt to any occasion — work, travel and personal. With its on-the-go aura, it’ll definitely add a touch of optimism to your everyday wardrobe and life.
