10 trendy and affordable work bags that are perfect for #GirlBosses

Want to look and feel luxe for work but not ready to drop months’ worth of your pay check on a single luxury handbag? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered

by Michelle Yeoh & Shazrina Shamsudin  /   May 24, 2021

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. And that is exactly why we can’t afford time mulling over an outfit or allowing less than perfect dressing to dull our shine, especially when we are in the midst of slaying the boardroom.

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.
