Bargain Shopping for a Cause, Part 3

Today’s all black look was inspired by the Kate Spade Cobble Hill Straw Mini Minka bag that I’m carrying. This bag, which usually retails for $278, is another one of the designer bags that’ll be available at this year’s Old Bags, a silent auction hosted by the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition to raise funds to aid in finding forever homes for children in foster care. Be sure to check out a sample of the other available bags by visiting the Old Bags Pinterest board.

This bag is a sure bet for spring style. The combination of textured straw and smooth leather exudes warm-weather luxe. The bag also has an adjustable and detachable cross-body strap. When you open the bag, be prepared to be wowed by its book stripe print lining. Did I forget to mention that the bag is brand new?

This bag is brand new with the tags still attached.
