Top fall 2012 work bags: “back-to-school” has never been so glamorous

Whether you’ve just landed your dream job or happen to have gone back to university, your 9-5 workday can run a little more smoothly and be well-organised with the right bag.

This fall, the fashion match will be all about the old style doctor bag – this bag has come back into the limelight. Another favourite is the British college-inspired satchel bag. You might find yourself being swayed towards the huge and roomy tote bag that easily fits all your bits and bobs in this year. Can you imagine yourself holding the ladylike bowling bag? It is easily transformable during the cocktail hour. Here we bring you our top selection of bags; be warned though, you may have trouble choosing just one…

The doctor bag

This is the daily bag you need on your shoulder, as seen on Louis Vuitton’s A/W12 catwalk show; this vintage and retro-inspired style will have everyone lusting over it. 

1. Liquorish Doctor Bag, Asos, £65.

2. Striped City Bag, Pull and Bear, £29.99.

3. Classic Doctor Bag, River Island, £40.

The satchel bag

These college and childhood-inspired satchel bags are lovely for the most nostalgic of you – we have realised you can never own too many bags. Finding the right one to fit all your belongings in isn’t a problem here…

1. Pushlock Satchel Backpack, Topshop, £36.

2. Classic Satchel Bag, The Cambridge Satchel Company, £74.

3. Bag, H&M, £19.99.

The tote bag

With this style, you always find yourself having plenty of room for files, laptops and a lot of space for your papers, even that yoga tracksuit after class! 

1. Kubrick Tote Bag, All Saints, £195.

2. Colour Contrast Shopper, BooHoo, £15.

3. Studded Shopper, Zara, £38.00.

The bowling bag

The bowling bag is the best when we get to the comfort zone of the week – the weekend, of course! It’s the trump card to go directly from the office to the aperitif without being too formal or too casual. The smart must-have!

1. Crocodile Bag, Bershka, 25.99.

2. Spiked Bowling Bag, Mango, £69.99.

3. Candy Bag, Furla, £185.
