Though as a University of Texas graduate I’m inclined to hate anything with the name “Aggie,” I can’t help admiring this professional-but-not-boring Derek Lam Aggie Brief. Perfect for the female exec who reads “Vogue,” this stylish, boxy leather purse mixes it up with a chic gold turn-lock and a chain shoulder strap that pushes the envelope just a bit. Corporate America won’t know what hit it. It’s polished, but still has a pulse. And you can’t beat that irresistibly supple leather.
