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!!

A day before the Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2010 presentation was slated to begin, Rebecca herself tweeted, “Who is afraid of a little snow??? The show must go on!” Well, that was before “a little snow” turned out to be a full-on blizzard that was enough to close all public and private schools and universities in Manhattan save for Columbia University (thanks guys.)

Therefore, if I was going to have classes as the snow frantically swirled around the city, I was going to make it to the Rebecca Minkoff presentation. Needless to say, I did make it despite my dislike of the cold and of the coldness of the snow, and it was extremely worth it. You see, I’ve been to a few traditional presentations, where the models stand on raised platforms and generally achieve a death stare whilst remaining in the same position. But no, this show switched it up, and the models were bubbly, twisting and turning at various intervals to show off the funky wares. (more…)

With Twitter taking off, it is only plausible that some new social media offshoots will pop up. We have seen some that we are not blown away by, but recently I was introduced to TweetMyBag, which is right up my alley. TweetMyBag was launched in collaboration with Rebecca Minkoff this month. Through February 14th, you can upload a photo of your handbag and receive 25% off on Rebecca Minkoff bags as well as be entered into a RM bag giveaway. Easy enough, upload a photo (even a photo taken with your phone) and get a discount on a Rebecca Minkoff bag and be entered into a giveaway.

Also, Rebecca Minkoff’s Fall 2010 Fashion Presentation is today from 4-5 (show will stream on Minkette.com). After the show TweetMyBag will have an exclusive look at some of the Fall 2010 items for you all!

We followed up with our Rebecca Minkoff Spring Preview with a short interview with Rebecca Minkoff. We asked some forum members what questions they had for Rebecca Minkoff and here she answers.

Find out what is next for the brand, how the economy has affected her business, and when the next sample sales are!

Rebecca Minkoff will be launching a new collection, perfectly named “I Do”, for a custom wedding line. Prices will vary from $195 through $215.

So many of us are Rebecca Minkoff fans. And with so many amazing designs to choose from, it is no surprise that Rebecca Minkoff bags fly off the shelves. Head over to Gilt today and snag your very own Rebecca Minkoff bag… on sale!

The Rebecca Minkoff Roadie is a favorite here! I played around with the Roadie and fell in love. I could imagine slinging her over my shoulder for a long road trip, traveling, or just going out and about. It is easy to wear, the perfect size, and has the perfect zing with the studs. There is an easy access exterior zip pocket and interior zip, slip, and card pockets. Wear it casually across your body or sling it over your shoulder. Measurements are 13″W x 9″H x 5″D; 18″. Buy the Roadie via Nordstrom for $575.

With images leaking onto the web of designers upcoming seasons, it is not rocket science to find images of accessories that are yet to be released. But you know what is better than images? Video. And even better than that is video that shows the designer and her handbags. We got a peek at the Rebecca Minkoff Summer 09 preview, starring none other than Rebecca Minkoff herself. Enjoy!

This Rebecca Minkoff wallet is the perfectly cheeky solution to the age-old question, “paper or plastic?” Sure you can flash this colorful wallet in the bag boy’s face, but in this case ‘paper’ and ‘plastic’ refer to your credit cards and cash. Made of Italian leather, we love the bright colors and sturdy construction. Totally functional are the generous pockets perfectly sized for your “I can always return it” receipts and zippered coin compartment. It’s the bold gold metallic graphic that really has us sold. I’ll take one in every color please! Pair the “Paper/Plastic” wallet with a Rebecca Minkoff tote.
