Rebecca Minkoff Brynn Tote

Can this new Brynn tote from Rebecca Minkoff step out of the almighty MAB shadow that put the name Rebecca Minkoff on the map? I don’t really think so but the Brynn tote is quite a pretty bag, with hints of the Hermes Birkin or Mulberry Bayswater touch. The Brynn is made entirely of leather and lined with cotton inside. I like the chain shoulder strap which makes the bag convertible and more in-trend for this season. Price is USD550 at Saks.

Rebecca Minkoff Rapture Tote

The success of Rebecca Minkoff has not departed from its MAB variations. This new Rapture tote is pretty interesting in a way reminding me of a school bag that comes with many compartments. At the downside thought, it is not as chic as the MAB or even close to it. I am sure it is functional and I love the color on its nubuck leather but it is not a bag you flaunt because it is lack of that intimidating aura from a designer bag, if you know what I mean… If you like a bag that works hard for you though, get this from shopbop.com for USD595.

Rebecca Minkoff Lace Morning After Mini Bag

The latest spin-off of the Rebecca Minkoff’s most iconic bag come in some lacey prints. I like the idea but the execution feels a little cheap compared to the real lace-over-leather that Prada did a few seasons back Then again, the price is only 10% of the Prada. If you like it, shop at shopbop for USD325.
