If Meghan Markle will go down in style history for one thing, it will be for her clear love of structured bags, particularly from her go-to brand Strathberry. After she made her debut carry a green Strathberry crossbody bag that launched a frenzy for the brand’s affordable yet stylish designs, Meghan has been spotted carrying another bag from the brand. This time, she chose the Strathberry Midi Tote in a gorgeous tan colour.

Featuring a structured shape, top handle, and signature gold hardware, she styles her brown bag with a teal secretary dress and a pair of nude pointy pumps. It’s the perfect embodiment of polish, class and can be easily replicated by most working women for the office. Plus, the perks of carrying a brown bag is that you look less stern, matronly and dowdy. Brown bags can imbue a laidback vibe to the person carrying it, which makes you seem more approachable and friendly.
Here are eight other brown bags that can also work for the office.
