A Work Backpack or a Briefcase: Which is more suitable for you?
In the past two decades, laptop briefcases and professional backpacks, also known as "business backpacks", have risen the corporate ladder quickly. These days, the modern work backpack, brief, or laptop bag has mostly replaced the traditional hard-sided, rectangular briefcase, which used to be the essential accessory for any businessman or woman.
The classic flip-top briefcase used to be a sign of business-savvy, and was perfect for the job of carrying paperwork or legal documents back and forth from the office or courtroom. However, the power of laptop computers, tablets, business travel, commuters and remote workers proved too much for the briefcase to bear - a seismic shift in the way we work had begun.
Making an entrance, the business brief – an iconic briefcase for laptops made in the 1980s – continues to be popular to this day. The business backpack and travel backpack on the list of essentials for both business and travel have since joined this classic work bag.
For over three and a half decades, laptop backpacks and briefcases have advanced almost as quickly as laptop technology. As a result, today's business backpacks and laptop bags are light and spacious and are seen by professionals, college students, and business and leisure travellers alike.
The demand for stylish professional backpacks and briefcases has skyrocketed, leading to an array of stylish business bags now available. From small laptop backpacks and feminine briefcases to multi-purpose totes that carry laptops, tablets, documents and even a spare outfit, there's a work bag to meet every need.
