If you are starting a new job as a creative professional than finding the best way to lug around your work gear can be difficult. Beyond the bare necessities like lunch and gym clothes, you also have your career specific gear that needs to be taken into account. From laptops, external hard drives and an iPad to DSLR cameras and extra lenses, it can be a challenge finding the right work bag that can carry it all.
But there are options! In addition to being roomy enough for your gear, your work bag can also be sleek, stylish and office friendly. Here are our four different work bag ideas for creative professionals.
Professional Laptop Briefcase
A professional laptop briefcase is great for those who work in more formal settings and need a way to carry their gear in a professional way. Unlike a regular briefcase that is made to only carry paperwork, a laptop briefcase has a special compartment for your laptop, tablet or other work tech. Creative professionals who have to wear suits and other formal clothing will appreciate how they can carry their work gear while still looking sophisticated.
Work to Gym Backpack
If you are like many busy professionals, then hitting the gym before or after work is a regular part of your daily routine. But having a safe way to carry both your work tech and an extra pair of sneakers can be a challenge if you don’t have the right bag.
A good work to gym bag can be something like a backpack with shoe compartment or a roomy backpack with enough space for your workout gear and snacks. For creative professionals, you are going to want to choose a backpack with a dedicated laptop compartment as well as extra compartments for tech accessories and other work items.
Tech Messenger Bag
A messenger bag is a great way to keep your work and personal items organized during a busy morning commute. But creative professionals need more than just a simple bag for their daily work carry. This is where the tech messenger bag comes in.
Tech messenger bags have extra room and compartments for tech carry such as padded laptop compartments, tablet sleeves and special pockets for tech accessories such as mouse, keyboard and cables. The best part? A messenger bag is sleek and office appropriate.
Modern Camera Backpack
A modern camera backpack combines the looks of a stylish work backpack with the functionality of a technical camera bag. What you get is a stylish bag that creative professionals such as photographers can wear anywhere from the office to an on-location photoshoot while still looking polished. Some of our favorites makers of modern camera backpacks include Peak Design, WANDRD and Thule.
