Find the perfect vegan work bag to match your style

With a minimum of 8 hour workdays taking up most of our lives, it’s no surprise that we’d like to dress our best even on the weekdays. The perfect extension of personal style meshed with a professional lifestyle would be a person’s work bag. From the colour to the texture, style plays a huge role in the work bag one gravitates towards. From laptop size to the number of items we have to fit into bag pockets, profession and daily routine dictate the work bag we settle for. Here at Beej, we don’t believe in compromise. We’ve got a great round-up of vegan work bags that we’ve spent years perfecting for your everyday life. Run through this list to find the work bag for you!

Vinna Vertical Tote

We can’t help that our professional lives revolve around technology. We’ve got work phones and work laptops, and lugging them back and forth can be a challenge. Some prefer backpacks, but we like our work bags to be an extension of our style personalities! Our Vinna Vertical Tote is designed with ‘decluttering’ in mind so that you’re no longer fishing for your keys at the bottom of your bag. 

This tote has a vertical compartment for a 14” laptop to fit into. Don’t worry, the compartment is well padded, so you don’t have to worry about your keys scratching your laptop’s surface or about bumping into things on your commute over to work. 

Speaking of keys, this tote has two handy pockets on the outside so that you don’t have to reach into the main pocket at all for items you need to access quickly. You can pop your commute card, keys and phone into this zipper or choose to use one of the seven (that’s right, seven) pockets on the inside. The seven internal pockets are neatly arranged into two compartments, and you really wouldn’t believe how spacious the bag is because of how dainty it looks from the outside. We told you that style with a purpose is how we like to roll! 

The tote is made out of FSC-certified cork so that you attain your sustainable goals without thinking twice, and there are a number of other features that will keep elongating the lifespan of your work bag. From studs at the bottom to keep the bag scratch-free to zippers made from PET recycled bottles, this bag covers all your bases. It’s available in three gorgeously earthy colours, so you’re sure to find a style that suits your best.

Karya Laptop Tote

We had to make a vegan version of what comes to mind when you think of the classic work bag, but the similarity stops at the exterior. You’ve got a sophisticated work bag appearance on the outside, but from the main zipper in, this bag can really pack a punch (literally, you could pack everything but the kitchen sink). 

Once again, there’s a padded laptop compartment because laptops are a staple of work bags in the current professional generation. We have two sizes, 13 inch and 16 inch, so you can choose the tote that will fit your laptop. There’s a zipper pocket on the outside for your quick-access items, and there are plenty of open compartments on the inside to fit in everything else. 

The bag’s internal space is separated into two compartments, which could even fit a water bottle or umbrella. That’s how handy it is. Available in three beautiful colours and three natural options, it’s no wonder that the Karya Laptop Tote is one of our bestsellers.

Unisex Cork Laptop Pro Sleeve

Before you ask if a laptop sleeve could be a work bag, hear us out. The purpose of a laptop sleeve is to protect your laptop. What if you could make a portable version of a sleeve? We took this thought one step further - what if the portable version could have additional storage for other work requirements? Voila, the Unisex Cork Laptop Pro Sleeve. 

As you can see in the image, this sleeve has space for all your laptop accessories. There are two zippered pockets and two open pockets (one at the front and one at the back). If you don’t have laptop accessories to transport, you could use those pockets for your commute essentials and your phone! 

The handle that we’ve sewed on is a sturdy one, and don’t worry about your laptop’s safety - the cork we use is waterproof and scratch-proof! This vegan bag solves more issues than just the sustainability ones!

Ananta Hobo

We have to end this list with Beej’s founder’s favourite - the Ananta Hobo. This is the vegan work bag that screams ‘I’ve got 99 problems, and my work bag won’t be one of them’. 

It’s a simple structure with a zipper pocket at the back and one main zippered pocket that leads to two open interior pockets. It’s 17-inch x 11-inch so you can hide away your small office and transit essentials and have space for your electronics, if required. The crossbody strap makes carrying heavy items easily, and its compact designs allow for uncomplicated travel.

The Ananta hobo bag comes in two vegan materials - two shades of cork and six shades of pinãtex. We’ve really gotten quirky with the colours for this work bag (it’s called the ‘Hobo’ after all!), so we’re sure that you’ll have fun picking out the one for you.
