Rebecca Minkoff's Matinee Performance + Resort 2008 Preview

In a chic Chelsea Gallery, Rebecca Minkoff unveiled her much-anticipated Matinee bag to a well-dress, well-quaffed crowd of editors and media darling. Naturally, BagTrends was on hand to support the lovely Rebecca who was decked out in a black D&G dress that evoked a modernly-sexy interpretation of this Audrey Hepburn staple.

After all, SEXY is the name of the game for this bag-a-licious designer. And, the Matinee is no exception.

Meeting him at noon? Perfect. The Matinee bag is ideal for holding all of your work-day essentials and must-have products. This structured shoulder bag has dual pockets on each end and is accented with a reversible suede pullback that discreetly opens up, allowing room for all those unmentionables. This sleek design was made with function in mind, and can be thrown over your shoulder or arm. 

We also got a sneak peak at the Resort 2008 line, because it’s never too early to start planning. “Resort was a foray into excess with gold sipped and silver plated hardware,” Rebecca said. Mirror metallic gold and silver, as well as custom sterling-silver hardware, dress up the Morning After and Morning After Mini. But, be warned. With prices starting at nearly $1200 a pop it may be the bag or the Bahamas … um I’ll take the bag, thank you!

To pre-order the Matinee in Grey with Dark Grey Suede $585 from www.SHOPBagTrends.com please e-mail: info@bagtrebds.com - ships approximately September 15, 2007.
