If you’re adjusting to being back in  an office for the first time after two years of working from home, you might have realized that your work bag is a little out of date. Whether you’re looking for a bag that won’t look out of place at happy hour, or you want something that can withstand your morning commute, these work bags will have you looking forward to going back into the office.

The Jemma Jules Nylon Backpack truly has it all, including a smaller insulated bag inside of it that can be used as a lunch box for the busy mom on the go. You can carry the bag around using the handle on top, or use the comfortable webbed backpack straps for a hands-free option. If neither of those sound appealing, don’t worry; you can also convert this bag into a crossbody. It comes with a changing mat (which doubles as a laptop sleeve pocket), stroller clips, and two water bottle holders that’s perfect for moms and kids.

Tokyo Turnlock Tote

Key Selling Point: It may seem like a standard work bag, but this sustainable tote comes with multiple interior pockets so you don’t have to sacrifice style for function. 

Inspired by the busy and bustling Tokyo city, this tote bag might seem compact, but trust us: it’s bigger on the inside. It has a special compartment for your water bottle, tablet, and even an interior loop that can hold your pens or lipgloss, and there’s still four other pockets (three on the inside and one on the outside) to fill with whatever you want. You can also easily adjust the strap to a length that suits you — there’s six lengths to choose from, and don’t worry, the strap will definitely stay in place; there’s also six knobs that secure the strap. Its lining is made out of recycled plastic bottles, and the black leather body will go with any outfit. If black’s not your color, no problem – it also comes in gray and orange.
