When it comes to working in an office, you’re required to tote around your laptop, paperwork and various work items to and from work – and what could possible sound chic about that? But, rather than tote your precious cargo in an oversized or bulky bag, why not use a stylish backpack instead? Whether it’s to accompany your polished office attire or for casual weekend looks, a hip, stylish backpack will solve all your problems.  

Pretty in Pink

This leather millennial pink backpack from Aritzia’s in-house brand Auxiliary is the bag of our dreams.
