Celebrate National Handbag Day with 10 Rebecca Minkoff Bags for Any Occasion + 25% Off!

Our favorite thing about bags is that they're always by our side, no matter what we're doing

Today is our 5th Annual National Handbag Day, and you know what that means: it’s time to celebrate the special place our daily carries have in our lives! One of our favorite things about bags is that, no matter what we’re doing or where we’re going, we’ve always got at least one with us. They’re our constant companions, and that’s why leading designers like Rebecca Minkoff think about how to outfit us with the best bags for all parts of our lives. Our story with Rebecca goes back all the way to the beginnings of both her company and our PurseForum, and this year we’ve teamed up with RM to look at how bags fit in our lives bring you guys a special discount.

Below, we’ve looked through RM’s vast collection to pick out some bags we particularly love and share what occasion we’d carry them for; after all, the most valuable thing about our accessories is all the ways in which they help us enjoy everyday life! In addition to that, our readers can get 25% off exclusives (including sale prices!) at RebeccaMinkoff.com through the end of the day—all you have to do is look for items marked RM Exclusive and use code PURSE25! Bags below that are eligible for the discount are marked with an asterisk.

The First Date Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Hook Up Top Handle Bag

When I was dating, my goal for a first date was just to be as at ease as possible. For me, that includes carrying a bag that’s petite and clean-lined because it’s easy to hold on to at a crowded bar or stash under your chair at a slightly-too-cozy restaurant. This bag fits that description perfectly, with the extra advantage of looking chic and polished. Shop the Rebecca Minkoff Hook Up Bag via Rebecca Minkoff ($245)

The Errands Bag

Sometimes, you just need all your hands available. Maybe you’re doing some serious wardrobe replenishing, maybe you’re going to Home Depot—either way, a cool little backpack will serve you well in getting everything done. Shop the Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack via Rebecca Minkoff ($164)

The Wedding Guest Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Leo Clutch

In my mind, attending a wedding definitely requires a hand-held clutch. Not only does that seem more formal and special, but a private event is generally a safe place not to have your bag on your person at all times, so it’s a perfect opportunity to use a bag you might hesitate to take to a bar. This clutch feels special because of the intricate pattern, but it’s still big enough to actually hold everything you want to bring along.

The Weekend Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Micro Regan Satchel*

Plenty of women have to carry something big, neutral and conservative during the week because of dress code norms at work, so on the weekend it’s always nice to have something light and fun to swap out, I think. This bag’s luscious texture, pale pink shade and mini (but not too mini) size make it perfect for brunch, the mall or anywhere else your weekend might take you.

The Carry-On Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Military Pocket Satchel*

Not only will this bag fit all the travel essentials you need at arm’s length for a long flight, but it has something that I think is really underrated for a carry-on: pockets so you can keep your ID, boarding pass, passport, and anything else you might need at a quick grab while going through security, finding your gate and getting on your flight. Shop the Rebecca Minkoff Military Pocket Satchel via Rebecca Minkoff ($251)

The Night Out Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Crossbody Bag*

The funny little secret about holographic bags is that they look special and make a statement while still somehow managing to read as a neutral and go with everything. If you need a go-to for anything from fancy cocktails to a night of dancing, this little bag should be what you reach for. Shop the Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Crossbody Bag via Rebecca Minkoff ($195)

The Big Presentation Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Murray Carryall Bag

If you need to carry your laptop, files, and all your everyday work essentials while looking pulled together in front of your whole department, this is exactly the bag to do it without spending thousands of dollars. Shop the Rebecca Minkoff Murray Carryall Bag via Rebecca Minkoff ($345)

The Holiday Party Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Small Love Velvet Crossbody Bag*

Rebecca Minkoff’s Love bags have proved incredibly popular with shoppers, and fun new versions come out every season. This velvet one is not only super on-trend for fall (both bright red bags and velvet accessories are huge), but it’s arrived right in time for when red velvet is the most appropriate fabric of all: the holiday season.

The Getaway Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Wythe Weekender Bag

When I’m looking for a weekender, two things are most important: durable, lightweight fabric and a dark print or pattern of some sort that will help disguise the wear and tear that besets all travel bags. The Wythe Weekender has both, and it wraps up all that function in a super chic package with a reasonable price tag for a workhorse bag. Shop the Rebecca Minkoff Wythe Weekender via Rebecca Minkoff ($475)

The Anytime Bag
Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger*

Sometimes all you want is a bag that does a little bit of everything, and that’s the Darren: It’s neutral and roomy, which makes it great for work. It’s not too big, though, and it has several strap options for versatile carry, so it also works great on the weekends. Especially in black, the look is both very chic but super subtle. I feel like I could carry this bag anywhere, except maybe a formal event. Shop the Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger Bag via Rebecca Minkoff ($345)
