5 Best Women's Work Bags (All Under $250!)
I personally love having a black, a red, a brown/beige, and a white/cream purse for work.
That way you have purses that match most heels and go with each season.
Below are the best women's work bags that you can buy online.
1. Michael Kors Purse for Work
I LOVE my Michael Kors Jet Set purse. It’s big. It’s bright. It holds everything I need for work. Plus, I like the pockets on the side for holding my water bottle and cell phone.
The sales director at work even complimented my purse one day!
You can also buy the Jet Set work purse by Michael Kors in black, brown, white, and brown.
The Michael Kors Jet Set purse is my #1 recommendation for the best work bag for women.
This work bag is under $200, it doesn’t show dirt, and it comes in so many different colors online!
2. Over-sized Faux-Leather Work Tote by Street Level
If you want a neutral-toned work bag to fit ALL your work items (laptop, jacket, wallet, etc.), then check out the faux leather women’s work purse by Street Level.
This tote bag comes in neutral tones like black, brown, and ivory. Plus, this work bag for women is reversible!
The taupe/ivory color is my favorite.
This is the best work bag for women if you want a neutral-toned work purse.
3. Perry Leather Tote by Tory Burch
If you are willing to splurge and want a designer work bag, check out the Perry Leather Tote by Tory Burch.
My favorite color is ivory. This work bag for women also comes in black and brown.
It’s a pretty purse, but it does lack compartments and extra pockets.
Note: This is the best luxury work purse, so it isn't under $200 (sorry!).
4. Madewell Zip-Top Transport Tote
This simple work bag is a fantastic everyday bag for work. It's simple and attractive.
5. Le Pliage Shoulder Tote
This shoulder tote was so popular among ALL the girls from New York when I was in college. This work bag for women is just so practical!
You will LOVE the zipper. Plus, this work bag for women is easy to wash and affordable.

Hello this is Leo Harry. Thats the really a good stock of the women leather purses.
Hey Leo!! Thanks so much for the comment! Glad to hear the article was helpful. =) Is there anything else that would be helpful to get suggestions on? I was thinking “top backpacks for work” or “cutest cross-body purses for going out.” Or I could write an article on the best travel backpacks for men.
