Computer? Check. Charger? Check. Giant thermos of coffee? Double check.
I'll admit it: While I do love my current WFH situation (hellooo sweatpants all day, every day), I can't help but anticipate the Big Return to the Office—and specifically, what I'll be wearing when I'm making the Big Return to the Office. And currently, I'm hyper-fixated on finding the best work bag money can buy. If you're in the market for a new office bag, too, (despite your "office" being your bed at the moment), then scroll through for 26 of the best work bags worth carrying. From sturdy totes to crossbody styles to roomy laptop bags with padded protection, find it all, below.
Made from sturdy cotton canvas, this roomy bag can be used either as a cross-body or top-handle tote.

LOVE me a good bag with a huge external pocket that I can quickly grab things from. This one gets bonus points for its removable shoulder strap, too.
