Honing in on handbags, there's no more important investment than the workbag. Considering the vast amount of time in our career that we spend with our carry-alls slung over the shoulder – not to mention the copious amount of things we carry with us – the style demands attention to detail both in function and fashion.
Going beyond the normal everyday essentials of keys, phone, and wallet, we lug around hand creams, lip balms, and notebooks. Lunch, laptop, and head phones. The demands are many, and our options of handbags numerous. That's why Vogue Scandinavia has gathered our favourite office appropriate carry-alls that can elevate our everyday.
Decadent Copenhagen's handbags are truly decadent. This oversized top handle style holds everything we need for our day-to-day.
The voluminous and structured silhouette of Khaite's lotus bag is amazing for lugging around an extra sweater or knit scarf for when the office gets cold.
This vegan leather over-sized shopper is almost large enough to count as luggage, so it will comfortably hold everything we need from everyday essentials to extras.
The classic Musubi model from Acne Studios is a stylish take on office wear. Not only is it a casual carry-all, it is also elevated enough for nights out.
This cream coloured classic tote bag is bound to be with us season after season, easily transitioning from winter to spring due to the lighter shade.
Lending some texture to any look, the woven leather of & Other Storie's everyday tote is a versatile take on the shopper and will fit right into most wardrobes.
While we're fond of a basic black, there are other neutrals to consider. ATP's winter white Conersano tote – for example – is a sure-fire conversation starter.
Not only does Ganni's spacious tote fit all of our functional requirements, it is also made from recycled leather leaving us with a better conscience.
