Here, our handbag expert Marianne Theodorsen rounds up the best bags to bring to work

Since closing our laptops and returning to the office, we've been reminded how important it is to invest in the right bag to tote around all of our essentials in.

For the most part of 2020 and 2021 - work bags simply were not on the agenda as many of us was trying to figure out our new 'working from home' routine. But now that we can finally head back to the office we think it’s only fitting to celebrate by donning a stylish bag for your work essentials.

There are a few things to think about. What size you need will depend on what kind of work you do, and how many items you need to tote around, but the perfect work bag should always be three things: spacious, functional and, of course, easy on the eye.

Just like with any other handbag an office bag should be more than just a practical addition to your outfit - it should lift it to new heights. Think a fun tote a la J.W Anderson's checked canvas tote or a classic with a twist like the Little Liffner Tulip Tote. There are many options that will let you stay both sartorially savvy and organised.

Below, the ten best bags to get you back to that office aesthetic - in style:
