Aside from its classic style, we love that the Longchamp Roseau bag comes with a detachable strap which gives us the freedom to carry it in multiple ways: As a top handle, shoulder or crossbody bag to suit different occasions. Its roomy interior also provides ample storage space for our belongings, making it the perfect go-to bag for work.

Here’s a contemporary cool option from Charles & Keith that’s sleek, sophisticated, ultra cool and doesn’t cost the world. Featuring clean lines and silver-tone metal hardware, this faux suede bag comes in three colours: midnight blue, black and nude.

The black and nude versions feature gold-tone hardware. We particularly like the midnight blue version for its everyday-bag appeal, but the gold-toned editions have their place in your wardrobe too—especially for dressier occasions or even for date night.

Here’s an editor’s favourite from all over the world. Straight off Tory Burch‘s spring/summer 2020 runway, this fabulous colour-blocked bag pays homage to Lee, Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ younger sister.

Made of canvas and leather, it also features lock-and-key hardware and a detachable shoulder strap. Use it as your everyday bag or for when you want to dress like a #bosslady but still want to keep it fun. If that isn’t enough to entice you, it also has a new removable weather-proof raincoat so it’s perfect for our tropical climate.
