Notice to all those who are struggling to find the bag of their dreams: here we are back to play some very good tricks on you! Today in our “Little bag guide”, we offer you some advice for choosing the right business bag as the start of the school year...
As obvious as it may seem, the (right) choice of a bag will primarily depend on the use you wish to make of it. With the arrival of new work modalities (remote work, professional nomadism…), the bag has become a major element for businesswomen and businessmen: beyond being a simple accessory, it must be able to hold a laptop, a tablet, and documents, as well as a compartment for personal belongings. Generally, four types of bags are available to you: the handbag, the shoulder bag, the backpack, and the crossbody bag.
If you travel light to the office, a totebag or a shopping bag will be suitable: very practical and less formal than a briefcase, they add a fashionable touch to your professional look through carefully chosen colors and materials. And to ensure your bag lasts over time, choose it in synthetic or leather rather than canvas.
If you are a fan of cycling or scootering, the messenger bag, crossbody bag, and backpack will be your best allies to keep your hands free! The first two combine aesthetics and practicality: the crossbody bag, often reinforced, provides unprecedented comfort for carrying your belongings. However, be careful not to overload your bag if you are wearing a coat or a jacket with structured shoulders: the weight of the bag and the strap could damage the padding and harm the garment… in addition to causing back pain. The backpack, on the other hand, is a timeless choice at any age: ergonomic, it is no longer used solely by teenagers and combines fashion and design with noble (leather) or technical (nylon, sportswear…) materials.
Finally, purists will prefer the eternal document holder, the perfect accessory for the businesswoman or businessman. Although it remains very codified, it still manages to stand out for securely carrying your professional belongings. Simple, robust, and timeless, the document holder is also being updated with the emergence of increasingly elaborate straps.
More than for any other type of bag, the material must be decisive in choosing your business bag. Indeed, it is what ensures the protection of your professional belongings: a business bag must be durable and of high quality.
If you are carrying moderately heavy loads (computer equipment, notebooks, books, documents…), leather remains a material of choice: beyond their timeless aesthetic, leather models are often sturdier than those made from synthetic materials. Combined with high-end supplies (zippers, closures, handles…) and finishes (linings, edges, assembly…), leather bags will be your best allies… for (almost) eternity!
If you prefer to focus on fashion, nylon, canvas, and synthetic bags today offer a myriad of models that are trendier than the others. Sportswear, chic, rock, or casual, there is a business bag for everyone!
This last piece of advice is particularly aimed at the fashionistas at heart: rest assured, a business bag is not necessarily synonymous with a dated accessory lacking style impact!
Nowadays, there are many trendy models breaking the sometimes (too) strict codes of the professional world, in favor of a modern aesthetic and a carefully curated color palette. The eternal blacks, grays, beiges, browns, and blues remain the leaders of so-called professional colors: with them, there is no fear of making a fashion faux pas or being out of the box (or out of the office). Timeless, they can be worn in both summer and winter and enhance noble materials such as leather. However, the bolder among us will opt for more seasonal colors: pastel shades in spring/summer, more subdued tones in autumn/winter, fashion brands are now stepping off the beaten path to offer business bags that are as colorful as they are stylish. So, which side will you lean towards?
