Possibly one of the most attractive bags to come from the house of Rebecca Minkoff, the Perf Weave Lyric Satchel displays incredible attention to detail and a design that’s sure to get noticed. On the large side, it measures roughly a foot wide by eleven inches high and is built with pockets galore – in other words, it’s more than just a pretty face. The intricate woven leather is pretty impressive: it’s been very meticulously perforated and embellished to create rich, all-over texture. It’s the perfect complement to the tannish hue. Available for $550 at Rebecca Minkoff.

Designed by Rebecca Minkoff exclusively for AVON’s sister brand, mark., the Delight Bag is a limited-edition piece sure to thrill longtime admirers of the designer who can’t quite drop retail prices on her main line. The black bag is basically the definition of “cool” as Minkoff knows it: dark, dramatic, and studded with silver pyramids and dots. And don’t let the fact that it’s faux leather get you down – you’re paying a mere $60 for a Minkoff purse and being animal-friendly at the same time. It really doesn’t get better than this. Cheers to Minkoff for designing something lower-budget that doesn’t sacrifice quality or style! Available at mark.

With the Chance Briefcase, Rebecca Minkoff once again takes on the typical masculine aesthetic and puts an entirely new spin on menswear-inspired style. This so-called “briefcase” is more of a sturdy satchel, dressed up in leather that’s been textured to resemble ostrich skin (and quite a nice bit of work it is). A studded handle and brass hardware that blends right into the warm blushing-tan leather complete the look beautifully. This is exactly the type of bag I’d love to carry to the office. Available for $495 at Revolve Clothing.

A perforated texture is just the kind of touch that separates a designer bag from something cheap and easy. Even better if the perforation is as unique and eye-catching as it is on this Rebecca Minkoff Perf Mini Affair, where it adds just the right amount of interest to this tiny white bag. It’s also available in tan, where the random texture reads as a modern animal print — funky without being too wild. It’s $295 at Zappos.

I’m fairly certain the only time I have benjamins on me is immediately after I receive a Christmas gift of cash from my grandma, but a girl can dream, right? I’m dreaming about having this Rebecca Minkoff Benjamins Pouch chock full of hundred dollar bills. Looks like it’s time to start buying lottery tickets… Available at Piperlime for $110.

There are hundreds of reasons to love the Rebecca Minkoff Lyric Ostrich Embossed Satchel, but I’ll start with my most obvious – it’s not made of authentic ostrich skin, yet it still closely resembles the real deal. The dark denim color isn’t married to any particular time of year; this is just as easy to wear in the thick of summer as it is in early winter. Beautifully detailed with simple gold hardware and minimal tassels, it projects a low-key yet elegant quality that also makes it quite the polished everyday bag. Available for $495 at Nordstrom.

A handful of Skittles, a pink rubber band, a cherry-scented chapstick, a five-dollar bill, two quarters and a pair of purple Skullcandy earbuds would definitely be among the things I’d be pulling out from this scrumptious Rebecca Minkoff Two-Tone Kerry Pouch if it were mine. In fact, the only thing that could make me love it more would be if those treasures already came inside! What special small items would be hidden in yours? Pouch is available for $75 at Rebecca Minkoff.

Nothing says vacation like packing your passport, but if you want to shout VACATION!! from the rooftops, tuck your passport into this Rebecca Minkoff Stripe Passport Wallet. It comes in three colorways, but this bright yellow makes me think of blue water, white sand and a loudly colored bikini. It might just be time to plan a vacation of my own. Available at Nordstrom for $145.

There’s something about ostrich-stamped leather that makes my heart go pitter-patter. I can’t get enough of the gorgeous, rich texture and crisp feel. I especially admire it on this amazing orange Rebecca Minkoff Swing Ostrich-Stamped Leather Shoulder Bag! Other features of this striking purse include a magnetic snap closure, a double chain and leather shoulder strap, one outside zip pocket, one outside flap pocket, dual side zip gussets, one inside zip compartment, one inside zip pocket, one inside open pocket, cotton lining, and protective metal feet. While I’m still not sure what I’d wear this with, it sure has all the makings of a fantastic bag! Find it for $330 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
