Cop Trendy Office Bags From These Homegrown Brands in Singapore

When it comes to your go-to bag for the office, you needn't choose among utility, functionality, and aesthetics. These homegrown brands in Singapore have made all three qualities possible in their stylish and trendy bags, which come in different sizes and designs to suit the various needs and wants of the working woman (and man).

May these bags serve you well from the office by day to wherever else the night takes you!

Charles & Keith

Charles & Keith is one of the most successful companies founded in Singapore, starting out as a brick-and-mortar store in 1996 and then blooming into a global fashion brand adored by many for its quality, stylish, and affordable pieces. Aside from jewellery, sunglasses, and wallets, the label is also known for its wide range of bags suitable for just about any occasion and style. For office use, you can turn to its functional tote bags that come in geometric and structured designs. We recommend you go for its roomy Leia Tote, priced at S$79.90, if you'd like a chic, minimalist bag to carry all your essentials and that will complement every outfit. There's also the Tubular Slouchy Tote (S$95.90), which is designed as an extra-large, sophisticated, everyday bag.

The Sophia Label

The Sophia Label (TSL) was founded in 2015 by Sophia Tan on the belief that women can be stylish without spending a ton. Sophia's designs are guided by her lifestyle and values as a mum-of-two, with a focus on minimalist and practical pieces. The label has gone on to collaborate with the Sanrio brand in 2018 and 2021, releasing limited collab pieces that were quick to sell out. For your everyday, office carrier, we recommend you check out TSL's Avery Magic Tote Bag, which was just released on Feb. 17, 2023. It comes in beautiful taupe, camel, and olive colours, with two more shades (almond and black) on the way this June. The child-friendly tote, which is made of vegan leather and PVC-, PU-, and BPA-free, is priced at S$108. Grab one here!

Pazzion

Accessories and footwear brand Pazzion has been around since 2002, catering to contemporary women with its modern, timeless, and purposive designs. Pazzion believes that it can be "the ideal chaperone as a woman journeys through her life in authenticity and endless appeal." Its Laurel Top Handle Bag (S$83), characterised by monochrome leather shades and a feminine shape, is perfect for the chic #girlboss look when paired with a pantsuit or a tailored blazer. The slouchy Irene Casual Leather Tote Bag is another contender, as it can fit all of your necessities for the day, taking you from office and errands to parties and formal events.

Beyond The Vines

Multidisciplinary design studio Beyond The Vines has become a favourite by many when it comes to functionality and aesthetics. You've likely seen its popular dumpling bags on your social media feed, which come in solid and colourblock shades that balance fun and fashion fit for contemporary living. Beyond The Vines was co-founded by husband-and-wife team Rebecca Ting and Daniel Chew in 2015 on the principle that "good design should be accessible to all." The couple also believes in the design philosophy of "create boldly, design simply," which is evident in its bags, clothing, shoes, and more. For the office, you should consider getting the label's XL Dumpling Bag, priced at S$109, which can fit all the things you need for work. It has short handles and comes with an adjustable strap, as well as a large front flap pocket and a D-ring for your keys.

We also recommend you take a look at its nylon Mega Crunch Carrier (S$89), which has a lot of room for work and shopping, as well as the structured cotton Canvas Carryall 03 (S$129), which has a double layer base for durability and an inner water bottle slot.
