The good news is we're in the home stretch; it's almost the weekend. The bad news is that there's still a few more hours left in this day. Take a load off the old gray matter and look at pictures of handsome, handsome handbags?er, totes, messenger bags and accessories for gentlemen. They're from Rebecca Minkoff's Ben Minkoff line. Inspired by her grandfather's career as a combat fighter pilot in WWII, the Ben Minkoff bags are unique and gorgeous -- mixing pebbled leathers, waxed cottons, and great hardware, all into a masculine, modern bag for the man who's classic and fashion forward. In similar spirits to the way she names her women's bags, Minkoff says this of her man-bag nomenclature: "The Ben Minkoff spring 2011 collection was named after dear friends of mine who have been incredibly supportive of the men's line and of course a select few of past love interests."

What's next for the Minkoff empire? Men's. Belts. Can't wait. (Text by Sina Grace)
