The Fashion Team’s Favourite Back-To-Work Bags

I’ve had this Dragon Diffusion tote for years and it’s easily one of my hardest-working accessories. It’s the perfect size for a laptop, notebook and lunchbox, but doesn’t feel bulky. Plus, the chocolate-brown woven leather works just as well in summer as it does in winter.

The key to a good work bag is that it’s practical but doesn't compromise on style. The Chocolate Club bag from Verafied is exactly that. Made from soft but structured calf leather, it holds its shape and feels polished. The doctor’s bag silhouette is the shape of the season – roomy enough for a laptop without feeling bulky. A hidden waterproof compartment adds functionality for gym kit or spare shoes too. Clean, considered and chic.

For me, a work bag has to tick several boxes. It needs to be roomy enough for a laptop and a spare pair of shoes for commuting, with internal pockets to keep things organised. Versatility is key, as it has to work with multiple looks throughout the week. I love patent finishes for an elevated feel, and mock-croc is an easy way to add interest. Bowling bags are always a great option – considered, stylish and easy to wear.
