As the festive season draws to a close, we once again pack all our essentials and necessities and head back to the office.
Whether you’re into this season’s colour burgundy, prefer a bit of texture with a croc-embossed effect, or just need an understated high-quality bag you can shove your whole life into, we’ve got you covered.
GRAZIA rounds up the chicest XXL bags that will have you heading back to the office fashion-forward and ready to tackle the post-holiday emails sitting in your inbox.
The Row Marlo 17
The Row’s infamous Margaux tote, which took the internet by storm in 2024, got a big sister: the Marlo tote, and we think she’s the bag to bring to the office this New Year. Coming in different sizes, size 17 will fit all your office essentials, and really your whole life, having you ready to tackle a day back at your desk.
Bottega Veneta Maxi Veneta
An icon, Bottega Veneta’s Veneta bag first debuted on the runway in 2002, and now it’s making its comeback. After 23 years, as stylish as ever, it heads straight from the runway to your office desk. Coming in a maxi size, made from supple leather, lined with suede, and complete with a zipper, this icon keeps your work essentials safe and your office-siren status intact.
Polene Cyme
Grown on French soil, Polène has become an international bag sensation. Starting with just one store in Paris, Polène now has multiple locations worldwide, and with reason. Soft leather, timeless styles, and considered craftsmanship make it a go-to without breaking the bank.
Celine New Luggage
Pheobe Philo’s Luggage Tote, reimaged. With the recent appointment of Michael Rider as creative director at Celine, the iconic luggage tote is making its return. This carryall, while lighter and with an added cross-body strap, has evolved in functionality, yet without sacrificing an ounce of its cult-status appeal.
Longchamp le Foulonné xl
Longchamp may be synonymous with the Le Pliage, but its legacy in leather craftsmanship tells a richer story. A family-owned Maison since 1948, Longchamp’s approach to leather is rooted in tradition and longevity. From the atelier in Paris to your office desk, this khaki green carryall carries not only all your daily essentials, but also history.
Jil Sander Voyage
Jil Sander’s ‘medium’ Voyage Tote proves that labels are merely suggestions. Delivering full XXL proportions, the Voyage fits a laptop and much more. Featuring long straps that fit comfortably under your arm, and even over a chunky sweater, it’s the perfect minimalist companion for colder days, or in Dubai’s case, relentless office air-conditioning.
A.P.C le drummer
Made from 100% smooth and suede leather, A.P.C’s Le Drummer tote is the ultimate work companion, delivery luxury style without the luxury-level price tag. With a pop of colour, this tote is chic and refreshingly unfussy. With two sets of straps, short and long, it’s ideal for a girl boss on the go. Insider tip: A.P.C just opened its first store at the Dubai Mall, so you’ll be able to try this beauty before committing.
Balenciaga Rodeo
Modern multi-tasking. With two large compartments and two back pockets (for that girl boss who has a work and personal phone) Balenciaga’s Rodeo Bag is truly ludicrously capacious. Where function meets fun, you have the option of customising your work tote with charms to add a bit of daily joy to the workplace.
Tod’s T Timeless Shopping Bag
Suede is having its moment, and this Tod’s T Timeless Shopping Bag embraces it effortlessly. True to its name, its refined silhouette, luxurious materials and heritage craftsmanship are designed to stand the test of time, making it a bag you can carry way beyond your current role.
Bottega Veneta Andiamo
We couldn’t not include Bottega’s newest icon in this list. Introduced to us by Matthieu Blazy, the Andiamo quickly became a fan-favourite and has earned cult-status, but of course, with reason. So big, it really fits your whole life and more, this carryall is where style meets function, form, and class. A bag that is bound to become an icon, the Andiamo is already cementing its place as a modern classic.
Massimo Dutti Nappa Leather Bag
Spacious, sleek and slouchy, the triple S combo that makes the perfect catchall bag. Made from 100 per cent sheep leather on the outside, cotton lining on the inside, and finished off with a zip closure, this tote is the ideal everyday bag that will enhance any office look. Croissant in shape, this bag is deliciously office-ready.
Loewe Flamenco
A Loewe classic, the Flamenco traces its origins back to the 1970s. With a long-standing history, this bag has held through the test of time and we doubt that’s going to change. An icon and well-worth investment piece, the Flamenco is designed to be by your side through long office days, business trips and everything in between.
toteme day Tote
A spin on the classic work bag, Toteme’s Day Tote brings effortless class and style with its bowling form and croc-embossed leather. Finished off with a zip closure, this bag is designed for life: meetings, commutes, and after-hour plans. Minimalism at its finest.
St. Agni Woven Large Tote
If you hadn’t already gathered, here at GRAZIA we’re huge fans of the woven bag designs (thank you for that Bottega Veneta). Naturally, many brands have come out with their own iterations of the blueprint, one such being Australian label St. Agni. The brand’s large woven tote is the ideal “fit your whole life into your bag” bag. The slouchy silhouette is crafted from 100 per cent Bovine leather and it’s the chocolate colourway that is firmly on the GRAZIA team’s 2026 wishlist.
