Rebecca Minkoff has mastered creating chic handbags that are practical for everyday use.  I love that the Rebecca Minkoff Lust Printed Haircalf Crossbody is edgy and still very functional.  The unexpected combination of haircalf with the heavily studded crossbody strap really makes this bag stand out.  Additional features include front flap with lobster clasp closure, one interior slip pocket, gold-tone hardware and printed canvas lining.  Price: $425.00 $297.50 – sale price ends 12/4/11.
