Now more than ever, people work hybrid jobs that take them from home to the office to the corner coffee shop. Even if you work from home permanently, you’ll occasionally need to go out into the world and bring all your junk with you. A backpack will do the trick, but some of us want bags that look as nice as our outfits or work in offices with dress codes. That’s where a good work tote or purse comes in.
Whatever your needs or style, we have an option you should like. These totes aren’t the thin, pocketless bags we all seem to accumulate. We tried bags that make organization easy and can stand up to the elements and the normal amount of wear and tear that life brings.
If you prefer a backpack or a messenger bag, we have guides for those too.
