Whats the best bag for work?

When I need to bring my laptop I usually carry my neverfull GM in DE or a tory burch tote in a neutral tone. When I don’t need my laptop I usually take my neverfull MM my world tour with me , my artsy in empreinte aurore or my neverfull GM in DE.
It just all really depends on the location and the people I’m meeting, most of the times it is pretty casual and no one really cares for what bag I’m carrying.
 
I’m a LV mixed print disaster at work. Men’s noir logo backpack and Alma B.B. in Damier for to and fro work, monogram Neverfull GM for workout wear at lunch, and I keep a Neverfull MM in damier with rose ballerine interior for running from meeting to meeting. Also have a GM agenda for meeting notes and PM agenda for personal appts (but that stays in my Alma at work). Kind of a hodgepodge but it takes many systems to keep me sane and organized. Still trying to achieve sane and organized...
 
Below are the bags I would consider if I want to look for a work bag:

Epi line:
Brea GM (noir)
Alma MM (plus a strap) (noir or indigo)
Neverfull MM (noir or indigo)

Monogram:
Pallas (noir)
Retiro NM (noir)
Estrela NM (noir)
Turenne MM

DE:
Neverfull MM
Rivoli MM
Belmont
Greenwich
Totally MM

Empreinte:
Montaigne GM
Lumineuse


There are others, but these are the ones I have seen and touched. They are different on weight points, so best to try in the store with your stuff in to determine whether it would be too heavy.
 
My go to work bags are Neverful DE Rose Ballarine interior or Delightful MM Pivoine (SP?) interior. I'll admit i probably carry more than I need on a daily basis but feel lost if I am at work and need something. I've been considering adding a Palm Springs PM in the mix as well.
 
I would love to be able to use some sort of LV tote for work, but I take public transportation and then have to walk several blocks to get to my office. I've found out the hard way that using any sort of tote or briefcase to carry around my laptop and assorted work files is just far too heavy and cumbersome for me. I therefore went back to using a trusty old nylon Tumi backpack for laptop, files, water, etc., and then I couple that with a smaller LV purse for wallet, keys, phone and other essentials. Based on what I'm wearing, I regularly rotate between a few Alma BBs and my new fav, an epi Neo Noe. I've often considered getting an LV backpack (e.g., the Palm Springs MM or even one from the men's line), but I always end up falling for yet another small handbag instead.

Babylone Tote in DE for laptop and business papers, notebooks and I rotate handbags. Monday I wore the Monceau in Epi, Tuesday a work horse vintage leather Coach, today no bag just pochette and key pouch tucked in tote and tomorrow = undecided.
