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.
