Mini bags might be all the rage now but unfortunately, they are not practical for all the office ladies (like you and I) who have actual things to cart around. Documents, notebook, stationery, iPad, iPhone, keys, makeup pouch, wallet, water bottle — the checklist of items we need to lug around for work seems to be never-ending.

For that, we all need an ultimate work carry-all. It should be roomy, stylish and functional all at once. We have scoured the market and here are our seven current favourites. Read on to see which are the best investment pieces for your wardrobe right now. Remember, your office tote should never be dull. After all, it’s the one bag that you will carry around the most often!

7 stylish and roomy leather tote bags that are perfect for work
1. Calfskin tote, $374 by Rebecca Minkoff
image

This slouchy pebbled-leather tote comes in a versatile shade of maroon and features on-trend details like polished stud trims and tassels. It also comes with a removable zip pouch that you can use to keep your smaller items in place.

Shop this bag at Shopbop

2. Leather and suede tote, $825 by Clare Vivier
image

Soft and capacious,  this tote boasts plenty of space for your documents and even larger sized tech gadgets like an iPad. Carry it by the top handles for a smart look and sling the optional shoulder strap across your shoulders to go hands-free when the load gets too heavy.

Shop this bag at Net-A-Porter

3. Laser cut leather tote bag, $943 by Jil Sander
image

For ladies with less stuff to carry, you might want to consider this double top handle tote. Its intricate laser cut details coupled with its unique designer stamp and hanging tag in silver hardware will make for a super polished addition to your outfit.

Shop this bag at The Outnet

4. Calf hair and leather tote, $1,113 by Elizabeth and James
image

The brainchild of the fashion-forward Olsen twins, their eponymous brand’s accessories are a reflection of their own personal style — effortless, well-tailored with a pared-back sensibility. This bag is my absolute favourite. Luxurious calf hair in the most beautiful shade of midnight blue adorned with polished gold hardware — what more can I say?

5. Suede embossed shopper bag, $77.16 by ASOS Collection
image

Crafted from supple lightweight suede in a versatile grey hue, this tote is the perfect choice for ladies who have a lot to cart around. It opens at the top to give easy access and comes with handles that are long enough to carry comfortably on the shoulder.

6. Leather and suede cut-out bag, $323 by Mother of Pearl
image

This under-the-radar (at least in Singapore) cult brand is hails from London and is known for its eye-catching colours and attractive patterns. We’re currently loving this vertical “criss-cross” tote in the most gorgeous blue-and-black colourway.

7. Faux leather bag with floral cut-outs, $99 by Aldo
image

Aldo took floral a notch higher with its intricate laser cut pattern. This bag was made for the girl girls who loves all things romantic and feminine. It also comes with a removable shoulder strap that makes this tote a perfect travel companion.

Shop this bag at Aldo.
