The Team’s Favourite Back-To-Work Bags

Club Bag, AED 1,763 | Verafied
My 2026 go-to, Verafied New York nails considered design. At first glance, it’s a classic work bag, but the clever touches steal the show. The discreet zip at the base fits my laptop perfectly, keeping it separate from everything else without ever feeling obvious. That rich chocolate brown? Timeless, versatile and the longer straps make it easy to wear over the shoulder.

Belted Tote Bag, AED 4,400 | Toteme
When it comes to a chic work bag, I always look for something that can comfortably fit my laptop and sit well on my shoulder throughout the day. This is exactly why I love the Toteme Belted Tote. Its shape is structured yet fluid, giving it a polished look that works perfectly for the office and running errands. The dark brown suede is the cherry on top.

Hug Shoulder Bag, AED 11,800 | Ferragamo
The Ferragamo Hug is my dream work bag: smart, structured and chic. The classic brown leather feels timeless, while the flash of red lining adds just enough flair to feel quietly fashion-forward.

Rodeo Medium Leather Shoulder Bag, AED 16,990 | Balenciaga
Functionality is key for me, and this Balenciaga has replaced my trusty old work bag after three years. Two inner compartments, a zip, a back pocket for my phone, plus a perfect laptop fit – it’s all there. The colour goes with everything, and somehow, wearing it instantly elevates any outfit. I highly recommend.

Heart Tote Bag, AED 1,950 | Coperni
When it comes to work bags, I want something that’s as practical as it is mood-lifting. The Coperni Heart Tote delivers on both. The playful heart shape genuinely makes me smile, while the sleek black finish means it works with almost everything I wear. Best of all, it fits a laptop and daily essentials with ease – chic, functional and perfect for busy workdays.
