Rebecca Minkoff for Momoberry

Rebecca Minkoff for MomoberryGet used to hearing her name, because Rebecca Minkoff is now household. We had the pleasure of interviewing the young fabulous handbag designer, and now we are bringing you news of a recent partnership Rebecca has teamed up on. Momoberry by Sanrio has added a new co-branded collection for the Holiday season with their Rebecca Minkoff for Momoberry line. The handbags have already hit the stores, including the Momberry boutique in LA, along with SANRIO shops across the country, and online. There are four handbags offered, including a coin purse, a clutch, a satchel, and a tote. All of the handbags offer Rebecca’s signature sexy and chic leather handbag touch along with Hello Kitty graphics. On both the tote and the satchel, the only Hello Kitty additions are on the hardware, and the inside lining, which makes these handbags perfect for the customer that loves Hello Kitty yet is not looking for it to take away from the bag. The coin purse and clutch offer a more recognizable Hello Kitty pattern, that is cute and perfect for smaller accessories. These handbags are limited edition and can be bought online right now at Sanrio.

Bottega Veneta Exotics

While we were in New York, Vlad and I made it a priority to stop into the Bottega Veneta store, which is their flagship. The store is huge, and beautiful (and undergoing renovations). We were greeted by a great SA who showed us and informed us about so many meticulous details of Bottega items. With many luxury houses losing their luster, Bottega Veneta is one of the few luxury houses that has retained their luxury. The weave is perfected at the house of Bottega, and many do not realize the degree of perfection they implement with their exotics. If you are looking for alligator, Bottega uses a specific gator from Madagascar that leaves a raise after each scale. The raise gives the bag a stunning dimension, as the dye darkens around the raised edges to really make the exotic skin pop. And there is another process to treating their alligator; involving soaking the skin (belly only) in water, then having the artisan hand treat the skin by pounding it out and then hand brushing each scale. The result is divine, which leaves the exotic skin feeling as if it is suede. You have to touch it to believe it, because it seems unreal. And then there are their python skins, lizard skins, ostrich, and of course the divine weave that they implement. So if you are looking for an exotic, the house of Bottega may be perfect for you. Make sure to stop by your local boutique to feel and indulge in the perfection of their processes.

And while I wished to leave with a piece of exotic perfection, I had a different bag in mind. So I settled with the stunning Bottega Veneta Ballet Flats in Carmino ($570 at Saks).

Below is a compilation of exotic (and intricate woven leather) items Bottega Veneta offers. Check them out if you are looking for utmost luxury and attention to detail!

What a shame. Having returned from our New York City trip on the 4th of November, Purse Blog resident blogger Megs could barely wait to reveal the goodies she had scored at the Hermes Wall Street to the awaiting crowd on the forums. Sadly, she’s postponed to feature her brand new Hermes bag and accessories on our blog… Finally tonight, I am taking matters into my own hands. We owe it to our loyal readership to share the additions to the family!

Henry Cuir Ecological Tote

It seems that people merely follow the ‘green’ trend if it is in style. While I wish everyone was more environmentally conscious at all times, because they actually care for the environment, I will take the green trend as it gets people thinking a tad. Wrapped up in Al Gore’s film and thoughts that it … Read more
