Thursday’s TPS Report: Melie Bianco Double Handle Rouche

This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

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. If you've recently seen a great work piece you'd like to recommend to the readers, please e-mail editor@corporette.com with “TPS” in the subject line. We're loving this reasonably priced synthetic leather bag from Melie Bianco. The straps are 8″, making them just long enough to sit on your shoulders but still short enough to carry in the crook of your elbow, if you prefer. We love the ruching and the zipper details at the top of the bag, as well as the fun polka-dot lining. It's $95 at Piperlime. Women's handbags: Melie Bianco Double Handle Rouche – Saddle
