In just a few years, the workplace has completely transformed. Some of us are fully working from home, others going in just a few times a week, and some visit an office space every single day. But no matter which of the above situations describes you best, you know what I mean when I say you need a really great bag at all times. Despite the fact that I work from home 80% of the time, my work bags are the most used items in my closet getting ten times the wear of anything else.

Running to meetings, working out of coffee shops, or even busy weekends and flights call for a good work bag. So you best believe, I made sure to pick a few good ones for my collection. That being said, I feel like it's always in need of more. While both my black and deep green work bags do a lot for me, I've been craving a few more to add to the mix so this roundup is long overdue.

Whether you travel to work with a laptop by your side or not, you'll benefit by taking a look at the below bags that will certainly come in handy as we continue to spend more and more time out and about. I spent all week browsing the internet and can assure you that the below 10 picks are the best out there. So have at it.

1. Saint Laurent Manhattan Leather Shoulder Bag

A shoulder bag that can fit all of the goods is a must for any busy day so we have to talk about Saint Laurent's Manhattan bag. No logo and stunning gold hardware make it feel so luxurious.

2. H&M Shopper Tote

The next big work bag you need to know of is H&M's shopper. Whether you're looking for a forever buy or something on the affordable side, they have a style for you, having created it in multiple price points.

3. Gucci Ophidia Denim Tote

I've had my eye on this tote for quite some time. A lot of the designer totes have been a little too oversaturated for me, but I haven't seen this all over the streets yet which makes me want it even more. 

Shop:

4. COS Quilted Crossbody Bag

This bag is all over my TikTok feed and a scandi-girl staple. We've seen quite a few bags that are bigger than life waltz down the runway so this oversize tote makes a lot of sense for right now. I can guarantee you will be able to fit everything you need into this tote, including gym clothes.

5. Mansur Gavriel Tote

A Mansur Gavriel work tote has been a fashion girl essential since I started in this industry. It's the perfect structured bag whether you're schleping around the city or just carrying the essentials.

Shop:

6. Loewe Amazona Tote

It might have been the color that made me fall in love here or perhaps it was the gold lock. But I need this bag. Everything about it's structured shape totally draws me in.

Shop:

7. Chloé Woody Canvas Tote

Summer is creeping in and a good Chloé tote bag never hurt anyone. I'm predicting this style to be a hit once again this year so you'll definitely be sure to get some use out of it.

Shop:

8. Paco Rabanne Leather Tote

Texture always gets me excited about any accessory so seeing the unique spin that Paco Rabanne took on the classic tote is so good.

Shop:

9. Khaite Osa Leather Tote

This Khaite tote has had plenty of street-style moments that initially turned me on to it. I can't help but admire its unique shape and tapered bag handles.

Shop:

10. Mansur Gavriel Swing Leather Shoulder Bag

A simple shoulder bag can do all of the wonders especially when it's as classic as this pretty shape by Mansur Gavriel. Just throw it on and go.
