I've got some fairly basic Jandd bags with just hooks, and some Ortliebs with the more involved latch. No problem. If I use my little Topeak trunk bag with the pannier pockets, I just need to fold them up. The bag will still go on and come off, with or without the panniers mounted.
That office bag of yours might need to come off so you can attach the panniers, but then I bet you can slide it right back on as long as you aren't using a tall pannier that goes up above its top hooks.
No, I assumed that you can use traditional panniers with the rack, but if it turned out to be more convenient to do that, then I could've saved money by getting a normal rack and not buying the special trunk bag and all that. That's all I meant. Probably not too big a deal either way, haha.
