Whether you travel frequently for work or need critical tools available at all times, a professional go-bag ensures that you have everything you need at your fingertips.
It’s a digital-first world, and modern healthcare workers need to stay connected. The best options will feature durable, lightweight materials and plenty of compartments for devices, chargers, work materials, and snacks. Here are several bags that fit the bill.
Go Getter Tote
If you already love the popular Poppy & Peonies crossbody bags for everyday use, you’re sure to appreciate the utility and style of the Go Getter Tote. Available in several chic colors, this sleek bag has all the bells and whistles, starting with a removable and adjustable shoulder strap and a trolley sleeve for plane travel.
The interior features five interior pockets, a key leash, and a cupholder that accommodates a 30-ounce Stanley tumbler.
Nomad Backpack
Another thoughtful design from Poppy & Peonies, the Nomad Backpack is big enough to carry all of your daily needs, and then some. It’s packed to the max with four interior mesh pockets, a smart zip pocket, a key leash, and a padded compartment that fits a 16.5-inch laptop.
This backpack also includes two water bottle pockets, one of them large enough to fit a 40-ounce Stanley tumbler. A back zipper pocket, trolley sleeve, and padded adjustable shoulder straps add to on-the-go function.
Gemini Convertible Backpack
If you want to look like a travel pro with miles of style cred, the Gemini Convertible Backpack from White & Elm has you covered. Available in over a dozen fun color combinations, this versatile tote can also be carried crossbody, on your back, or over your shoulder.
With four exterior pockets, six interior pockets (including a 17-inch padded laptop sleeve), and an interior key hook, this bag is good to go.
System Zipper Tote
The sleek, minimalist exterior of Cuyana’s 13-inch System Zipper Tote is deceptively simple. The versatile interior features a large main compartment with a zip pocket, double patch pockets, and a key loop. It also has reinforced anchor points where you can attach accessories like Cuyana’s System Flap Bag, Zipper Pouch, or Laptop Sleeve.
The Work Tote
The Work Tote from Béis may look like a typical handbag, but there’s more than meets the eye here. The inside features one zip, two slip, and two pen pockets, with a zip and slip pocket on the exterior as well.
Described by Béis as the “perfect blend of business and pleasure,” this elegant tote, available in five neutral shades, can easily transition from pro to private life.
Water Resistant Division Backpack
You don’t have to travel to the far reaches of the globe to appreciate the utility of the Timbuk2 Water Resistant Division Backpack. It works equally well for a long flight or a last-minute meeting with busy SME partners.
The interior offers a spacious main compartment, a laptop pocket with exterior access, and an internal organizer for pens, phones, and sundries that might otherwise get lost. A luggage pass-through and neoprene water bottle pocket round out the features.
Coach Metropolitan Slim Brief
Coach bags are more than just prestige purses, as evidenced by the Metropolitan Slim Brief, featuring a 15-inch laptop sleeve and interior zip, phone, and multifunction pockets, along with two exterior slip pockets. A zip-around, two-way closure and a detachable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear let you manage your kit and your fit.
Manhattan Double-Zip Leather Briefcase
The 5-star Manhattan Double-Zip Leather Briefcase from Maverick & Co. is a tech-lover’s dream, with a boxy, unisex design that adds stylish pop to any ensemble.
Compartments galore can be found inside, including a 16-inch laptop sleeve and pockets for a keyboard, tablet, mouse, charger, phone, wallet, two pens, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Explorer Light Backpack Plus
Maverick & Co. gets it right a second time with the Explorer Light Backpack Plus, weighing in at just three pounds.
The backpack’s clamshell main compartment and device sleeve can each fit a laptop or tablet measuring up to 16 inches, and you’ll also get plenty of use from a document compartment, cargo net pocket, phone and wallet slips, pen slots, and a hidden anti-theft pocket. Two external pockets accommodate small necessities.
The Right Bag Makes a World of Difference
If you want to get organized and elevate your professional cred in one fell swoop, you need the right office-on-the-go bag. With so many versatile options to choose from, you’re sure to find just the right satchel for your needs.
