Designer work bags worth renting

Structured totes that carry a laptop and still look the part, from the Kaya collection.

Membership is R2,499/mo. Delivered across South Africa.

What a work bag needs to do

A work bag earns its place every day. It needs enough structure to hold its shape, room for a laptop and the day’s papers, and a look that carries from a morning meeting to an evening out. These bags from the Kaya collection do all three.

Structured totes

The Louis Vuitton Since 1854 OnTheGo GM is roomy and instantly recognisable. The Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Hobo is softer and quieter. For a sharper line, the Christian Louboutin Cabata Crest Tote and the Valentino Rockstud Leather Tote both hold structure well.

A little more character

If your week has room for colour and texture, the Celine Raffia Triomphe Tote suits warmer months. The Loewe Puzzle Bag works as a smaller cross-body when you travel light.
