Work Tote Bags with Laptop Compartments
When shopping for a women's work bag with a laptop compartment, a tote bag might be the first style to spring to mind. Tote bags are a popular option for working women. Coming in various sizes they can be as big as 22“ wide, 8” deep, and 15” high or on the smaller side measuring 12” wide, 4” deep, and 13” high. They offer space for your laptop, purse, water bottle and any other essentials while carrying them all comfortably on your shoulder.
Here are some of the best tote bags for work from our Kipling collection:

Can Backpacks Be Cute for Work?
Do you prefer to commute hands-free? If so, a women's backpack for work could be your perfect match. Work gear like laptops and notebooks can weigh you down, so some women prefer the comfort and weight distribution of a sturdy backpack. Work backpacks typically measure 16” tall, 5”- 7” deep, and 11” - 13” wide meaning there is plenty of space for all your supplies.
Here are some of our best business bags for ladies in backpack form:

Lightweight and Practical Office Bag Solutions
If you're looking for a practical office bag but our lightweight work tote or backpack designs don't quite fit the bill, we have plenty more options.
Were you searching for something smaller? After all, only some people need space for a laptop and bulky items in their work bag. Sometimes, a compact crossbody bag with room for your phone, purse and work pass can get you through the day. These lightweight bags let you travel hands-free without weighing you down and are small enough to fit in your drawer or locker.
Need a bigger bag? If you tend to head straight to the gym or after work activities right after clocking out, you'll need extra space for all your gear. Try a lightweight duffle bag in a size that suits you, offering ample space for gym gear, spare shoes and more.
Durable Bags for Work
The ideal work bag has space for your belongings and complements your office outfits. However, one of the most important qualities of a great work bag is its durability. When you invest in a good quality bag crafted from hard-wearing materials, it will last a long time and keep up with your busy, active lifestyle.
That's why, at Kipling, the go-to fabric for our study tote bags for work is our crinkled nylon. This 100% nylon material is lightweight, long-lasting and quick drying. Besides being strong and functional, it has a unique look with a crinkled texture. Many of our designs come in crinkled nylon, from durable tote bags for work to purses and accessories.
