Today is the Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2012 Runway show and of course Amanda, Vlad, and I will be there. But we aren’t just attending, we are going to share the show with you through our eyes. Vlad and I will be backstage and while he snaps photos to share with you all later, I will be taking photos non-stop with my iPhone. And because I am Instagram obsessed, I will be sharing all of these photos on our Instagram while also taking over Rebecca Minkoff’s Instagram account for the day.

Even if you aren’t at the show, be part of the show by following PurseBlog and RebeccaMinkoff on Instagram! And watch the show live today at 3pm EST at this link.

Rebecca Minkoff is notorious for her excellent day-after-Christmas sales, and this year’s just launched at noon. You’ll find a big selection of the year’s bags, all up to 50% off! Hurry hurry…

Her sample sales are the stuff of legend, but not everyone lives in a place that allows them to shop Rebecca Minkoff’s wares at a deep discount in person. If you’ve been lamenting the loss of those good deals, the Rebecca Minkoff Black Friday Sale is what you need to do with yourself today. Some bags have already sold out, so I don’t want to see any dilly-dallying from you guys.

The current Rebecca Minkoff NYC Sample Sale is still ongoing until Sunday, 5pm EST. If you are in town, we suggest you swing by and score your favorite bags below retail. The SS is located at 14 W 14th Street.

Below are a few impressions I collected on the opening night on Tuesday. Enjoy!

It is Sample Sale season again! So get your comfortable shoes on, get your patience ready, and get your loot-carrying arms strong, because glorious bags priced much lower than typical sale prices will be piling high. One of our favorite Sample Sales to attend and host is Rebecca Minkoff’s, and this year is no different. We will be there to meet all of you and check out all the Rebecca Minkoff goodies ourselves and hope to see many of you there as well. For the Rebecca Minkoff + PurseForum VIP Night this year you need to RSVP, so click on the link below and let the RM team know you are planning to attend.

This is my favorite phase of our exclusive bag design collaboration with Rebecca Minkoff thus far, because in Phase III we get to see the brand new bag designs Rebecca and her team have developed! We have five options to choose from, and we took every single one of your votes into account to create what we think will be the ideal Rebecca Minkoff bag for her PurseForum Minkettes fanbase.

Time is running out to put your vote in before we move to the next and final stage! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity and give us your vote!

Cast your vote in Phase III now!!

Have you ever wanted to tell a designer EXACTLY what you want to see in a handbag? How you prefer adjustable straps or tech-friendly pockets or a zipper top? Now is your chance, and I am not sure anyone has been able to say this before. With the help of every reader, customer, and Rebecca Minkoff fan girl, the final bag design will take into account your direct feedback.

Time is running out for an unprecedented opportunity, one in which you can speak to a designer and tell her what you want to see. With your votes and direct input, the finished product may be exactly what you are looking for. How amazing is that?

Take part in Phase II of our exclusive collaboration now!

You have no idea how excited I have been while sitting down with the Rebecca Minkoff team to come up with an opportunity that has never been seen before in the handbag world! We knew we wanted to collaborate on a bag design, but it was super important for us to include Rebecca’s very first fan base, the PurseForum Minkettes, in the process. We took it a step further from simply allowing the fans to be part of designing an existing bag, because the finished product will be a brand new shape and style. And since we are taking it back to the original fan base, we are also taking production back to a domestic factory. That means this bag will be made in the USA!!

There will be many phases of voting and you do not want to miss any of them. Your vote is going to help create a bag that will walk the Rebecca Minkoff runway show in February. What are you waiting for?! Vote in Phase I now!

Vote now to be a part of this unprecedented opportunity!!

Our community PurseForum is teaming up with Rebecca Minkoff in a project the likes of which handbag lovers have never seen before. Starting tomorrow, Monday the 10th of October, PurseForum.com will launch a three-week collaboration that will not only have fans vote on design elements to create an exclusive Rebecca Minkoff bag, but also allow the fans to be an integral part of the design process. This means the finished product will be a new shape and style from the Rebecca Minkoff team that was designed by way of direct user commentary from PurseForum.com members.

The entire three-week process will be hosted on PurseForm.com, so make sure you are a registered member of tPF so you can partake in the voting and design of this bag, which will walk down the runway in February at New York Fashion Week! You can’t tell by this post, but I am seriously jumping out of my seat with excitement over such an amazing project!!
