19 designer backpacks perfect for work and the weekend

Here are some chic alternatives to the shoulder bag or tote bag that will make you stand out carrying them

We are always partial to a great handbag (check out these to-die-for Spring bags) or an oversized tote. However, we do need something more practical and less strenuous on the occasion. For example, if you’re one who goes to the gym before or after work, a handbag is insufficient to carry everything you need on top of your work laptop and documents.

And this is where backpacks come in. The roomy designs have since evolved to more stylish, contemporary designs that befit modern tastes. Keep scrolling to see our top picks perfect for the office.
