As some of us begin returning to the office, we've got to get prepared. We're getting ready for a whole new kind of office wardrobe [1], but we also need a great bag. We have a love-hate relationship with work bags [2]. We want them to be cute and trendy, but we need them to be functional [3], and that can be surprisingly difficult to come by — until now. These are the 10 best work bags we've found. They're adorable, stylish, and every single option can fit a 13-inch laptop, which is something we haven't had to think about in a long time. Now all you have to do is conquer the boardroom.
