Coffee Break: West 57th Street Croco Briefcase
If you’re on the hunt for a sleek and stylish briefcase for yourself, don’t forget about this brand…
Coffee Break – Knightsbridge Jasper Tote
I like this boxy, briefcasey tote from Kate Spade — the crocodile-embossed patent looks really sharp. It’s available at Kate Spade in the teal pictured here, and both Bloomie’s and Kate Spade have it in a dark brown “cajun toffee,” as well as a light beige “goose” for $425. kate spade new york Knightsbridge Jasper … Read More about Coffee Break – Knightsbridge Jasper Tote
Coffee Break – Perry Street Kendra East/West Tote
6pm has two reader favorites* on sale today: both Stuart Weitzman and Cole Haan are up to 70% off. For today’s coffee break, I’m liking this Cole Haan tote/briefcase — the bag looks nice and roomy, as well as organized, and for those of us who dislike the messenger look, the shoulder straps are the … Read More about Coffee Break – Perry Street Kendra East/West Tote
Coffee Break – Janis Tote
Oooh: Love. I like that this See by Chloe tote is sized big for a magazine or a few work papers, and that the shoulder straps look long enough to be comfortable. As a minor aside, I wish it had a lighter interior lining (so you could actually see the multiple pockets it supposedly has) … Read More about Coffee Break – Janis Tote
Coffee Break – Elinor Tote
Love the look of this tote bag from Hobo International. The shiny vintage leather is nice, and the big ball snaps on the “coin purse” on the front of the bag are interesting but not distracting. Love that there’s a print lining to the bag and that it has enough pockets to make it useful; … Read More about Coffee Break – Elinor Tote
Coffee Break: Harveys Seatbelt Bag
Today we’re liking this lovely Lola bag from Harveys. It’s made from seatbelts (yes, really) so you know it’s durable, but we like the slight ruffled component to it. We wish the bag were a bit bigger — for anyone taking home piles of paperwork this weekend, you won’t be able to fit too much … Read More about Coffee Break: Harveys Seatbelt Bag
Coffee Break: Kooba’s Piper Bag
We’re not sure if it’s an official sale or what, but Zappos seems to have a ton of totes on sale for 20% to 30% off. We’re liking this hip take on a briefcase/tote from Kooba, a brand we know and love well — the leather is particularly luscious and soft. The berry color strikes … Read More about Coffee Break: Kooba’s Piper Bag

The Hunt: Appropriate Bags for Summer Associates
We got this request in from a reader, and thought we might resurrect an old feature — The Hunt — in which we look for a great basic, available now, in a variety of price points. Here’s the request: As an incoming summer associate at a large NY firm, I’ve been wondering – what kind … Read More about The Hunt: Appropriate Bags for Summer Associates
