How to pick the ideal work bag?

Identify your work needs

Firstly, identify your work needs. For example, I have had work for that I need to bring my laptop or documents with me. However, now I only need to bring a pen and notebook and that is it! Do you need many compartments for your thing? To fit laptop or documents. Make a list of things the bag must fit in.

What to look for in a workbag?

Now you will know what to look for in your perfect workbag. However, there are some things your work bag must include: Durability/quality, functionality, comfort, design and size.

Choose material wisely

Choose the material wisely: water-resistant, easy to wipe and clean and light-weighted. I used to buy a beautiful Kate Spade tote bag, but it was so heavy even when empty. My arms hurt all the time because of the bag. Therefore, choose light weighted material.

Invest in high-quality bag

A high-quality bag will provide years of use losing durability and shape. If not sure, ask people and read reviews about the bag. You can also trust well-known brands that you know. The best solution is to choose brands that offer warranty or return policies.

Common Types of work bags:

• tote bags
• laptop bags
• satchel bags
• shoulder bags
• duffel bags
• messenger bags
• backpacks

Choose a bag with shoulder straps

Bags with shoulder and top-handle bags are the best because shoulder straps give your hands freedom.

Think about your wardrobe and workwear

You will want a bag that goes with your workwear and the colours that you usually wear. Therefore, you should choose solid-coloured bags. However, functionality and durability are more important than fashion.

My work bag from Kate Spade

The last work bag I bought is a gorgeous bag from Kate Spade. My work bag is a satchel bag, small to middle-sized with a few compartments and has a shoulder bag. However, the best part is that I bought it for only 120 EUR instead of 320 EUR!

The brand outlet where I bought the bag, has the most affordable up to the most luxurious fashion brands. I have not found a better shopping app, with new deals and new products every day and with so many great prices.
