Coffee Break: Beirn Tote

Maybe my memory is off, but I remember passing up the opportunity to get a Beirn bag for just over $100 — and I regret it every time I see some fashionable New Yorker carrying the bag. They're truly lovely. The Outnet has a number at 65% off, though — this one is a blue snakeskin with a woven effect. Was $580, now $203. Jenna woven snakeskin tote
