It’s in the bag! If there’s one thing we can’t live without, it’s a practical purse. How else are we supposed to lug around all our items? You never know when you’ll need miscellaneous must-haves, from hair ties to hand cream. Better safe than sorry! Just ask all of the celebs we’ve profiled for our iconic What’s In My Bag? feature.
We can barely manage to store our essentials in a clutch or crossbody on a night out, but daytime is a different story. Our work bag needs to be large enough to fit everything we need under the sun! After all, we carry our tote from home to the office and back again — sometimes making pit stops at the gym or a bar for happy hour. Not only do we need ample room to accommodate our laptop, wallet, keys and phone, but we also need extra space in case an outfit change is necessary. A working woman is basically a superhero, ready to shapeshift at the drop of a hat.
We always try to step up our game for the office, choosing pieces that are polished and professional. As they say: Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. We believe the same is true with accessories! A high-end purse is a wise investment — worth the price for regular use in a refined setting. Looking to promote your work bag from the mailroom to the boardroom? We narrowed down the top 17 designer tote bags that are both stylish and practical for the workplace.*
When curating this list, our main concerns were fashion and function. We searched for:
These totes are all top-of-the-line! Before asking for a raise (to make up for the price of these bags), raise the bar at work with these sophisticated shoppers!
Elevate your work wardrobe with this Coach Willow Tote Bag. Featuring the brand’s signature C turn-lock clasp, along with over-the-shoulder straps and dual interior compartments, this large bag is open yet secure.

It doesn’t get more classic than the Longchamp Le Pliage Tote. A style staple for decades, this functional bag can fold flat for easy storage when traveling. Made with a water-resistant finish, this durable tote will also keep your items dry on a rainy day. The bag is big enough to hold your laptop, and the leather trim gives this sleek tote the look of luxury.
If you’re working with a slightly larger budget, then this Saint Laurent tote bag is simply divine! Comfortable to carry, this sophisticated shopper has an open top with a tethered zip-top pouch for personal items.
