Coffee Break: Penelope Tote

Coffee Break: Penelope Tote

Hell-o, gorgeous, streamlined tote (on sale!) from Tory Burch. I love the origami-inspired designed, the mix of semi-gloss leather and suede (you can see it much better on the color versions of the bag), and the organization looks pretty decent as well.

There’s a lot to like, though — it isn’t overly cutesy, it’s organized, and there are a lot of ways to customize it to suit your needs. I’ve pictured the “Stack+Fit Desk Accessories”…
