Books bags offer the space and comfort, so you can carry the books you're reading--along with pens, highlighters, bookmarks, book flags, journals, and notebooks.

1) Mini Brief Handbag w/Port Handle

From eBags: "The Vachetta Collection is a very natural and soft skin with a 'buttery' hand. As Vachetta ages, it develops a distinctive patina and sheen. This leather wears nicely – as it is soft and 'rugged' at the same time... Flap opens to reveal a back slide pocket, main compartment and front slide pocket with 2 credit card/ID holders and 2 pen sleeves."
