When it comes to handbags, few are as essential as the perfect workbag, giving the thought on how big part of our daily work-life it is. Not to mention the volume of essentials we keep in it. It’s a category that deserves consideration both in the practicality and style.

Beyond the usual trio of phone, wallet, and keys, our bags carry everything from laptops and headphones to toiletry bags with makeup for touch-ups and notebooks - the list goes on. With the countless bag options on the market, finding the right one can be overwhelming. That’s why Vogue Scandinavia has curated a selection of our top totes worth investing in to elevate your everyday this autumn.
