New year, new work bag.

It’s the time of year when I begin sorting through my wardrobe and making lists of what I need and what I don’t. I prefer to do my closet spring cleaning now so that once the nice weather rolls around, I can spend as much free time out in the sun. Recently, I organized all of my handbags and made a list of the styles I’d like to invest in in the future. I happened upon a tote I’ve had tucked in the back of my closet for quite some time, and it’s the perfect work bag. I typically use the same work tote every day because I need to be able to bring my laptop to and from the office, but now I can switch it up with this rediscovered bag.

A good work bag that is aesthetically pleasing can be very hard to find, and functionality is a very personal choice. Depending on the type of work you do, a tote may be unnecessary, but a backpack may work just fine. To aid you in your search, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite bags at multiple price points:

Under $100

$150-$300

$350-$500

$500 and up
