10 fab work bags to start 2020 with

From high-end to high-street, these new bags are the choice picks to help you herald in 2020 and strut into your office in style

“New year, new me” is a philosophy that many live by, but while some may choose to renew themselves mentally or spiritually, others (like us) see it as an opportunity to renew their work bags.

Here, our top 10 picks at every price point so that everyone can live up to the mantra of “new year, (new bag) new me”.
