Hands down, bags are my favorite thing to shop. I think having the right one for every occasion is the perfect finishing touch to every outfit. One silhouette that's harder to shop for than most is the ultimate work bag. Not only do you want something stylish and versatile, it needs to also be useful. Ticking off all those boxes is a lot easier said than done though. To help you find the right one for your daily commute and beyond, I turned to Nordstrom. The retailer carries a wide array of brands at every price point, making it seamless to browse a ton of great choices all in one place.
Ahead, I curated a list of my 22 favorite picks that are ideal for daily life. From brands like Topshop to Tory Burch and even Saint Laurent, no doubt you'll find your match. Starting at just $50, there's even some great affordable choices, too, if you're looking to stay in budget. Keep reading to shop them all.
