• Coffee Break: ‘2Jours Elite’ Leather Shopper

    Wow: I love this bag. For some reason I’ve never felt this way about a Fendi — of course I know the designer, but none of their bags have ever been on my radar before. Gorgeous, gorgeous. This bag comes in five colors (!) and several different sizes; this bigger version is my favorite —…
