Totes Umbrella, Micro Portable

In this season's must-have shape, Rebecca Minkoff's coolly hued leather satchel defines It. Do like the style-setters and wear this lush carryall to give an all-black palette a pretty color pop.

Style + strategy: so many organizational features rolled into one great-looking purse, by Giani Bernini.

A Kipling best seller! From the 4 front pockets to the interior organizer compartment for storing everything from your iPod to your keys, the Defea offers tons of helpful details - and you can wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody.

The satchel is the handbag no closet should be without, and this piece from DKNY masters the look in Saffiano finished leather. Office, off-duty, or running around town, it styles your look classic.
