What do you do for living? Do you get to enjoy wearing your LV handbags to work

I’m in Business Intelligence and just because I’m a nerd does not mean I have to dress like one :P I’m one of very few on my team that dressed up but it is just inherit for me - I love fashion. I’ve taken my LV a few times to work. I’ve seen others with their Neverfull or Chanel totes but I am self conscious. I mostly use a Kate Spade tote and Tory Burch handbags for work and use LV for weekend. I’ll take a LV to work if I’m not bring my lunch.

I’ve always loved and collected luxury bags, mostly LV and Chanel. I worked part time selling cell phones and would carry my bags to work, I would wear my neverfull as a school bag when completing my masters. And now as a therapist I still do the same. Some people care, some don’t, life’s too short to edit your lifestyle.
 
I‘m an attorney and partner. I wear what I want (except to court or to visit a client, where I take my briefcase), which is usually a designer bag like LV (Escale!) or Balenciaga. If I don‘t carry any files I also use a mini bag like a Nano Noe or Nano City :smile: Sometimes I get compliments, usually on colorful bags or mini bags.
 
I’m a corporate lawyer. I definitely (used to) enjoy carrying my bags to the office. Now I’m only using one bag since lockdown started, my LV Eva since it’s hands free when I wear cross body and I can wipe it down with sanitizer if needed

I'm in HR Management. I don't wear my bags to work because I don't really feel that it's appropriate in my daily environment. However, I will wear them on days I have management meetings downtown.
 
I think I’m the only student here! Haha I’m a postgraduate Medical student. I also have an online business selling up cycled fashion

I usually wear something practical and large to my lectures (Longchamp or Saint Laurent tote), since they fit my books and laptop in. When seeing patients I try and keep it simple too

On the weekends I get my Chanel’s and LV’s out :P

I’m a financial services exec and carry my bags to work. My NFs are workhorse bags and hold what I need to carry. I also have several Longchamps and a Coach tote that I use more often in the winter to protect my laptop from snow/sleet.

I’ve been in my Mon Mono NF almost since lockdown started. Holds my regular stuff plus masks, gloves, wipes and the like. Far from the fanciest, but absolutely most used bag ever. Even my husband (who knows nothing about bags) will ask if I’m bringing my NF as we run errands (since I’ll then tote his crap too).
 
I’m a physician assistant in a private pediatric office. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic I took any of my bags to work. Currently I am taking bags that I can wipe or clean in some way.

When out DH also likes it if I carry a larger bag so I can carry his sunglasses with case.

I am a mortgage assistant and I just got my first bag before COVID so I am itching to use it but am hesitant to take it out anywhere! I carry a backpack to work and won't be taking LV. While I would love to, my boss notices and comments on every new thing. I am not sure what the intent really is but it makes me uncomfortable. I am pretty thrifty with my outfits, buying and selling at the local consignment shop, but that's because I get sick of clothes quickly. I love a good purse and good shoes, so that I tend to wear them for years or till they wear out! I don't do trips and everything else they do at work, everyone has their own thing, I just wish they wouldn't say anything.

What a fun thread! I'm a therapist in a psych hospital. I do wear some of my bags to work, just not the super expensive ones from Chanel, LV or ones with very obvious logos. I mostly use my more understated bags from Celine or Loewe.
