You all know that here at PurseBlog, we love Rebecca Minkoff. So while we’ve reviewed many of her bags, especially the MAM (read our view of the MAM in Deep Purple here) I still wanted to write about this Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB Striped Linen Bag. I adore this bag! To me, it pretty much screams “SUMMER!” but in a nice, sophisticated way, not in an obnoxious, ripped-booty-shorts-showing-off-your-bikini kind of way. When you think of the styled jet setter, with her espadrilles, white linen pants, and silk headscarf, this bag fits right in.
The linen combined with the leather is an interesting combination, yet it looks totally perfect, noticeable yet refined. Plus there are little details, like the protective metal feet on the bag’s base. But even though I get this cosmopolitan, upper echelon-type vibe from this purse, it would also fit in perfectly with any flowy summer dress and sandals. And massive sunnies, of course. Buy through Nordstrom for $440.

I have a distant fondness for RM. Ive never had any inclination to actually purchase one for myself. But I seriously love this bag and might have to get me my first RM

Love it! The colors are fantastic.

Total summer bag. Cute.

Sorry, don't love it. The brown on the corners and across the top ruin the summery stripes for me.

That is somewhat a cute purse but i don't think i would run out and buy it any time soon. A little pricey on top of it too!
