Bag of the Week: Rebecca Minkoff's Morning After Mini Handbag
Sometimes when a designer milks a specific handbag silhouette for too long, customers get bored and the designer - particularly if it's a relatively new contemporary brand - begins to loose its luster. I've seen this in every color and fabrication imaginable. Enough! But, that isn't the case for Rebecca Minkoff, as bagistas from China to Chicago can't seem to get their fill for her now classic Morning After and the Morning After Mini (20% smaller, and my personal choice for daily use). For pre-fall, the hot colors include Persimmon and Sea Green. I'm obsessing over the latter - great with your denim, a nice pop against summer whites and florals, and equally ideal during winter months when you want a hint of a sophisticated color. Beccs - yes I call her Beccs - has other yummy styles for fall including new totes, shoulder bags and the launch of small leather goods. And don't even get me started about the color options and additional new styles in store for you come Resort 2009. Regardless of the new, it seems that much like my favorite poem, "Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold," the Morning After is most certainly a golden fashion friend and find.
