You know what they say… when you look good, you feel better. For all of us #girlbosses who spend most of our time hustling, it’s important that we make every second of the day count.

We’ve got a tip for you: the right handbag pulls the whole look together, and stores everything you need with ease. Let your bag be the focal point and invest in these fashion-forward bags. Plus point? They look expensive but won’t break the bank. Consider us sold, and just take our money already.

10 trendy and affordable work bags that are perfect for #GirlBosses
Zara soft mini city bag, S$39.90 (original price: S$55.90)
image

The trend of multi-bagging, which involves toting two or more bags at the same time, is upon us this 2020, with it-bags that feature a detachable miniature compartment like the Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette and the Prada Re-edition 2005 shoulder bag taking the fashion world by storm early this year. Zara’s mini city bag comes with its own adorable micro replica purse attached to the straps – a chic little detail that subtly adds pizzazz against the backdrop of this minimalist design.

Zara
Charles & Keith two-tone sculptural bag, S$85.90
image

Nothing says business quite like a polished sculptural tote bag. Featuring contemporary shapes and sleek clean lines, this small-sized bag comes with a front compartment and a slimmer inner compartment so that you can stash all your 9-to-5 essentials in an organised fashion. We love the sophisticated pairing of camel brown and powder pink, and the bag also comes with a detachable strap so that you can wear it across the body for a casual touch when happy hour calls.

Charles & Keith
Charles & Keith curved tote bag, S$65.90
image

Some of our favourite handbags of the season sport piquant, fresh colours and architectural shapes. This mint green bag from Charles & Keith happens to have both of the elements. Featuring a trapezoid silhouette with a curved base, this playful tote looks playful despite its clean finish. Guaranteed to freshen up and add a lively feel to your workplace ensemble, this tote bag is an incredibly chic statement item you need to add to your arsenal ASAP.

Charles & Keith
Pomelo scarf hobo bag, S$23.30 (original price: S$29)
image

Rendered in a muted shade of chartreuse green that is all at once eye-catching, tongue-in-cheek and modern. Throw in a detachable scarf boasting of abstract geometric prints, and you’ve got yourself a conversation-inspiring number. This oversized hobo bag from Pomelo features a slim silhouette for a sleeker look; it also comes with a detachable coin purse in a matching colour.

Mango oversized volume purse bag, S$39.90 (original price: S$59.90)
image

Slouchy hobo bags are poised for a major comeback this season. Crafted in soft buttery leather for a modern update, the new hobo is seen in supersized silhouettes that give off that nonchalant-chic vibe. This voluminous shoulder bag from Mango comes with decorative knot details on the strap and a roomy interior, rendering it a practical companion for the modern woman who hauls her entire life in a receptacle.

Mango
Mango beads strap bag, S$55.90
image

A chain strung together by resin beads in rich saturated colours adds a nostalgic craft-like feel to this burnt orange shoulder bag. This bohemian number is sure to introduce a cool factor to your workplace ensemble. Pair it with muted understated neutrals to give your look a fun pop of colour.

Mango
Pedro bucket bag with rope detailing, S$89.90 from Pedro
image

Deemed as one of the hottest key bag trends of the year, the bucket bag shows no signs of slowing down as it continues to gain pre-eminence this season. Featuring a cord top handle and rustic rope details, this brick red bucket bag from Pedro adds a whimsical nautical touch to sophisticated workwear.

Pedro
Staud Rey bag, S$317.16 (original price: S$453.08) from Shopbop
image

Showcasing Staud’s contemporary femininity and meticulous craftsmanship, this powder-coloured leather Rey bag, a popular option from the brand’s line of accessories, sports sharp architectural lines, a triangular silhouette and dark brown croc-embossed leather curved handle. Finished with lacquered brown edges and lined on the inside with smooth suede, this luxe number is exactly what you need to elevate your look.

Shopbop
Respiro Studio Sienna bag sky blue, AUD 349 (S$333.32)
image

If you’re looking for a bag that has that It-factor when it comes to amassing a cult following on Instagram, Australian bag brand Respiro Studio knows all about that. The label anchors its designs around marbled resin hardshell tote bags in a delightful palette of iridescent colours akin to those you’ll find in a candy shop. This sky blue bag features a dreamy marbling effect that resembles ice crystals, and contrasting circular top handles.

Respiro Studio
Little Liffner faux pearl-embellished croc-effect leather tote, US$176.01 (S$245.94; original price: S$526.30) from Net-a-Porter
image

Inspired by vintage heirloom bags, this mustard croc-effect tote bag features accordion folds at the sides, three inner compartments and a unique silhouette informed by Scandinavian sensibility and minimalism. The finishing touch, a faux pearl-embellished pin neatly punctured front and centre, adds to the dainty, feminine feel of this number.
