Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Gryson’s Lucy Twistlock Tote

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend. Our weakness is, truly, for bags, and we love this one. The shades of gray, the Italian leather — all with intelligent pockets and metal feet, and big enough to fit a notepad or file? Score. The fact that Saks has marked it down as part of its Designer Sale only sweetens the deal. Was $825, now $577.50. Gryson – Lucy Twistlock Tote
