wow, this is ridiculous. my 2nd sighting in one week!

Americana at Brand in Glendale - Madewell store - tonight around 8 pm - Asian girl with a Periwinkle (?) Nikki. I've never seen Periwinkle in person before, but it looks really similar to the picture in this post: http://forum.purseblog.com/rebecca-minkoff/showing-some-periwinkle-love-473088.html

I don't think she noticed my MAM... but I'm so excited to be seeing more RM!!

I swear, I know that DC Minkettes exist because of the sample sale, but I've only ever seen one IRL and that was at Tyson's. Where are you gals?

I agree! I was out all night in DC last Sat. with my MAB.

^im from Nova...i've had one sighting at Tysons too..and actually that lady approached ME because we both had nikkis (i may not have noticed hers to be honest, i was in shopping mode!) but i posted here and i dont think she was a tpfer. i want to spot more RMs!!

kdo · Jun 17th, 2009, 05:57 PM

Well, I was prancing -- ok, more like dodging rain -- around my neck of the woods with my MAB today...

Sorry to hijack thread...but maybe a DC area Minkette meet is in order?

I work near Foggy Bottom and I have assumed that I would see a lot of RMs (some reason, I think that they would be popular with college-age women), but none. Mostly Longchamp or Vera Bradley.

kdo · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:23 PM

Sounds fun...I just don't get Vera Bradley.

ChaChaWeed · Jun 22nd, 2009, 12:15 PM

I just saw the illusive chick with her Cream Stud Devote down at 17th and L, NW on Friday, late afternoon. My hub had spotted her before and mentioned her to me. She also owns a Dusty Market Tote and she had some killer red heels on, Friday.

I literally chased one of the TPFers into the DC Sample sale the other week, just so I could talk about RM. Sad, sad...it's nice to have bags no one else does, but you wanna share the obsession, yes?

manderz · Jun 25th, 2009, 07:59 AM

I guess this is considered a sighting! - I was at the Melissa shoes sample sale yesterday after work and this girl that I briefly met at the last RM NYC SS was there with her blue wave/orange MAC and she remembered me! She originally approached me at the NYC SS about deciding on whether she should get a MAC or not and of course I told her to get it!

Mrs.Fiend · Jun 25th, 2009, 12:22 PM

I was spotted in DC! Last night I passed two women near the Border's downtown (at 18th and L), and overheard one point out to the other my MAM.

I work around DuPont Circle, and metro most of the week for my commute, and I have yet to see a RM.

xIcyBluex · Jun 25th, 2009, 09:27 PM

Sighting in Banana Republic at Leesburg Outlets today... Green MAC... My RMs have been collecting dust for a few months. Its time to dig them out for summer!

rnp1987 · Jun 26th, 2009, 03:00 AM

Ok so killer sighting! I was at the Bruno premiere tonight, and at the after party I spotted a white with brown basketweave mam and either a noir or dark brown mini nikki (Signature hardware).

A little off topic, but I just got my first balenciaga (a raisin city) and my dad was asking what all of the fuss was about, so whenever I saw a Balenciaga at the premiere (5!!! a little insane) I pointed it out. This was a great purse spotting night!

sunnydayz256 · Jun 26th, 2009, 05:01 AM

wow how did you get into the bruno premiere/afterparty?? thats awesome! i wish i could go!! >_<

on another note-i carried my wine nikki for about 5 1/2 hours of shopping in downtown SF today, totally got some hard, long stares at the nikki! one girl almost walked into a wall while craning her neck to check out the bag!

LOL! i am sometimes that girl doing that while trying to stare at the very few nice bags i see around here!

my second boston sighting was actually thanks to my bf! (still think it's funny how the men in our life learn to recognize and spot RM's!) he said he saw a "minkoff bag" on his way to work near south station in boston...after some probing sounds like it's the bread and wine canvas tote that has RM's name along the side.

aw i really want my new RM from the oss right now!

rnp1987 · Jun 26th, 2009, 12:41 PM

My dad works for Universal, so I was his +1. So many purse sightings it was insane, I would figure more clutches, but the ladies were rocking their full-sized bags
