Coffee Break – Desire Satchel

Coffee Break – Desire Satchel

Oooh — love the rich look of this Rebecca Minkoff satchel. The size seems great for an office bag (15 x 4.5 x 9.5), and I like the purple and black lining in the interior, as well as the numerous pockets for technology and more. It was $525, but is marked to $420 today. (Zappos…

This baby is on sale, too — was…
