Follow Oprah
Love everything Oprah? We do! So we were excited to see that mixed in with the Chanel and Gucci bags in her closet clean out auction is a leather Judith laptop handbag from locally-based Urban Junket. The handbag, which retails for $693, is up to $1,025. On the off chance you don't win Oprah's hand-me-down: Through March, Urban Junket will donate 10 percent of online sales to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa.
