BASH's New Office-Friendly Bags Are So Roomy, They Can Fit Your Entire(!) Life

Let's be real: finding The One when it comes to office bags is harder than swiping through dating apps. You want something roomy enough to carry your laptop, makeup kit, chargers, and your emotional support water bottle—but you also want it to look sleek when you walk into the office.

Lucky for us, BASH Manila is here to solve your bag dilemma. The brand recently released its Aftergloss Collection, which includes new colorways for its luggage collection and two new(!) bags in its product lineup: the Gateway Weekday Backpack and the Gateway Weekday Tote. While they were mostly marketed as travel bags, they look sleek, chic, and most importantly, spacious enough to double as your work bags.

If totes are more your vibe, the Gateway Weekday Tote is the office BFF you've been waiting for. It's spacious but not bulky, polished but still fun, and just light enough to carry from your 9 a.m. meeting straight to your 9 p.m. plans. It's made with a durable, water-resistant nylon that will keep your things safe from the ever-changing weather.

It also has a padded laptop sleeve that can fit up to a 15-inch laptop, a dedicated pocket for your emotional support water bottle, and a keyring so you'll never lose your keys in the depths of your bag again. There's also a discreet pocket in front so you have easy access to your phone or wallet, plus another keyring for your keys or anik-aniks.

If you want the tote to double as your work trip bag, you'll be glad to know that the Gateway Weekday Tote also has a trolley sleeve on the back that zips into a sleek pocket when not in use. Genius!

It's available in three colors: Terra (brown), Dune (taupe), and Carbon (black).

It's 2026—we won't be standing for office backpack slander. 🫣 If you're looking for a bag that won't make your shoulders hurt but still looks profesh, we recommend adding the Gateway Weekday Backpack to your cart rn. The water-resistant nylon fabric makes it ready for any forecast, plus it looks sleek enough to go with all your office 'fits.

Like the tote, the backpack also has a padded laptop sleeve that can fit up to a 15-inch computer, a keyring strap to keep your keys easily accessible, and multiple mesh compartments to keep all your things organized. There are also spacious pockets on either side of the bag where you can keep your water bottle and umbrella.

And since this collection is made with travel in mind, the backpack also has a trolley sleeve on the back so you can easily attach it to your luggage. When not in use, it also zips up into a sleek concealed pocket.

It's available in three colors: Terra (brown), Dune (taupe), and Carbon (black).

The Gateway Weekday Tote costs P2,295, while the Gateway Weekday Backpack is priced at P2,495. You can purchase the Aftergloss Collection on BASH's official Shopee and Lazada stores as well as on TikTok Shop.
