Designer Rebecca Minkoff, who makes absolutely gorgeous bags, offered this one up to readers here because: a) She's nice like that and b) She believes in spreading awareness about kids with special needs. Rebecca, you rock.
This is the Zip Devote. It's all leather with custom hardware, measures 18" x 7" x 12" and sells for $655. I love it because it's not too fancy, not too casual, and just plain pretty. If I saw a woman walking around with it, I would have total accessory envy.
Check out this fun video of the shoot for Rebecca's spring line. I knew I should have been a model. (The song, "The Next Time Around," is by the Brazilian-American band Little Joy; I can't get it out of my head.) Rebecca has two tickets up for grabs to her New York City spring show on Feb 10—see the details on her blog, Minkette.
