Working from home is exciting – ask our introvert selves. You are comfortable, working from bed, lounging, playing with your cats, getting lunch, and have everything handy – that is until you have to travel and sit at a desk for eight hours straight. Ugh.
Ask working individuals with a 9-5 (post COVID) what they miss while working away from home, many will say “comfort”. While finding solace in your office job is difficult – out of the question to be precise – having a bag that works as your perfect companion will definitely make your life easier and a lot more organised. It’s a lot reassuring to know that we’ve got it all together, folks. Finding a work bag with a lot of potential that is perfect and could fit all your necessities when you are mobile does sound kinda dreamy, we won’t lie. While some swear by backpacks for that Monday-to-Friday grind, we cannot help but cringe at the aesthetic (non).
For people who don’t travel light, a bag that is roomy enough to fit daily items, like a laptop, wallet, notebook, water bottle, keys, snacks, makeup, and charger sounds like a dream. Add to that the stylish aesthetic with comfortable straps and versatility–ah, don’t get us started–the perfect work tote.

A Tote bag is a two-strap handbag that is larger and spacious than other purses and has become the need of the hour, an investment to be honest. They have found several ways to be used – office, grocery shopping, gym, college, travel, picnic – the list is endless.
Tote bags usually come two ways: plain, and with a compartment. While a compartment tote is more popular among women, a plain tote bag will just fulfill that “baggy” need of yours. The trick however is to turn a plain tote into a compartment tote with purse organizers.
