As we kick off Rebecca Minkoff Week on BagTrends, I can’t help reminisce about the first time I met Rebecca Minkoff for lunch at my favorite sushi location in SOHO. We bonded over spicy tuna and ginger dressing and of course our love for bags. A year and a half later – with many press clippings, celebrity sightings, and new it bag designs in between – I caught up with the red hot (no longer on-the-rise!!) designer to find out what her current in the bag essentials are. For all you RM lovers, here’s what Rebecca totes around.
