The bag I couldn’t find, so I made it

I couldn't find a work bag that got me through the whole week.

My lunch would spill on my laptop. I'd switch bags mid-week and leave my key card in the other one. Everything I liked the look of couldn't hold what I actually carry, and everything practical looked like a school bag.

So I stopped looking and started designing.

WKDYS is one bag, built for the way the week actually works. A dedicated compartment so your laptop stays protected. A detachable insulated lunchbox so your food stays separate from your tech. A pull-out pocket for a water bottle or umbrella so the wet things stay out of the way. Straps that switch from backpack to shoulder bag in seconds, because Monday and Friday ask different things of you.

It's made from cruelty-free PU leather and designed here in Australia. No animal-derived materials, no unnecessary bulk.

WKDYS is a small independent brand based in Melbourne. I answer the emails, pack the orders, and use the bag every day myself. You're dealing with a person, not a warehouse.

What customers are saying

  • I spend heaps of time travelling - airports, hotels, etc - and the WKDYS bag I got is an absolutely goated find. The external pocket doubles as a sleeve to attach to my suitcase handle and being able to flip between a backpack and shoulder bag in like 2 secs when you're travelling is crazy useful, love it

  • I was on the hunt for a functional yet stylish bag when returning to work … the WKDYS bag has been exactly that! Being able to switch between backpack and shoulder strap made it an even bigger win. The detachable insulated lunchbox is what really won me over. No more worrying about leaks, or cramming food into an already-packed bag!

    — April ★★★★★

  • I love my two Weekdays bags! I have both the black and the brown, and use them ALL the time. Super comfy and I love the lunch cooler, I use it at the supermarket as well to get my icecream home!

    — Angela ★★★★★

  • I could not be more in love with my Weekdays bag! I am so impressed with not only the quality and look of it, but the design of the bag - every single detail has been thought out to make getting to and from work so much easier. The detachable cooler bag is a game changer for fitting everything you need into the bag as well. I didn't realise what a difference a dedicated umbrella/drink bottle would make either but safe to say I have had no spill or leaks since I got this bag!

    - Sarah ★★★★★

  • This bag has been designed with so much careful consideration for the office goer and I have been loving it as my everyday bag. The sleek design ensures it's not bulky on my small frame while still fitting everything I need! It's even accompanied me on a few trips and is the perfect personal item on the plane as it fits neatly under the seat. I am not a careful user so this bag has seen the train/tram floors and been shoved around in all sorts of places but there are no signs of wear and tear.

    - Sandali ★★★★★

  • I bought the WKDYS bag in April as my husband was looking for a better option for a work day carry case/bag. He loves the options and versatility this bag provides with carrying and storage. The back pack option is comfortable and leaves him hands free and the option to attach his lunch bag has been great.
