Do you prefer to keep both hands free and carry your work bag on your shoulder? Or is a handbag more comfortable? There are probably as many ways as there are types of bags.

Utua's wide selection of work bags gives you many options, as we have:

All of these can be carried in the hand, on the shoulder, on the back, or even in the crook of the elbow, depending on the style. There are also two ways to carry them on the shoulder: either on one shoulder or over the head in a crossbody style.

You can carry the nappa leather Aurora crossbody style over your head, leaving both hands free.

Functional work bags

Two stunning handbags are especially worth showcasing: AURORA and ATHENE .

Both also come with a longer, removable shoulder strap, so you can choose which carrying style is most convenient for you.

Both are great choices for a work bag. All you have to do is decide which design appeals to you more...

AURORA – for hand or shoulder

This spacious handbag is made of smooth nappa leather and can be easily converted into a shoulder bag in an instant, as it comes with two removable shoulder straps.


Aurora can also be carried on the shoulder or with a shorter carrying strap, simply in the hand or in the crook of the elbow.

The shorter shoulder strap is fixed in length and the longer one is infinitely adjustable. The bag can hold a small computer, water bottle, snacks and many other essentials. A zippered divider inside the bag helps organize your belongings and makes it easier to use.

There is a handy vertical pocket on the side of the bag, which can hold a phone and keys, for example. The vertical stitching on the front adds a touch of style to the otherwise simple look of the bag.

There are no fewer than six color options: Black, brown, yellow, red, light purple and light green.


Aurora's color range also includes two soft pastel shades: lilac and green.


ATHENE – the nobility of handbags

Unlike the Aurora, the Athena bag section is built in one piece to maximize space usage. In addition to the computer, it also fits a charger, calendar and much more. A metal D-ring has been added to the outside for hanging keys and a leather key lanyard inside to make it easier to find your keys at work or at the door.

The short carrying handles are sturdy and fit in your hand. The bag also comes with a continuously adjustable, long shoulder strap, so you can carry Athene on your shoulder if you prefer.


Utua's yellow leather bags.
The nappa leather Athene has a refined, elegant design.


The bag's diagonal cut adds a touch of elegance to this simple, elegant beauty. The opening, which is wider than the bottom, is handy when packing or looking inside.

The Athene is sized so that you can also take it into the cabin of an airplane (e.g. Finnair). You can fit it under the seat in front of you, so you can travel in a more affordable ticket category. Still, the Athene can accommodate the equipment needed by a day traveler.


Athena's color options are: black, brown and yellow.

Autumn is the time for work bags

We have noticed in both stores and online how the demand for small bags decreases in the fall and that the demand for larger handbags and shoulder bags increases.

Good-sized leather bags are primarily used to carry work tools. But space is also needed for, for example, changing clothes after work before going out for hobbies. They can also be used to carry small amounts of groceries or snacks.


The smaller vegetable-tanned Varpu phone case goes beautifully with Athena.


The larger bag can easily fit a small phone pouch in the interior, which you can grab for lunch or when running errands. And as we already mentioned, the ability to carry it in different ways is one of the important features of a functional work bag.
