New to RM bags...questions for the experts!

[CoachGirl12]

Hey everyone, I don't own a RM bag just yet but have been researching the heck out of the RM bags and just saw her spring collection which is TDF! But i just wanted to know a few things:
- How well does the leather hold up?
- Does RM carry matching wallets?
- How about scarves? Are those sold seperately?
- And one last question, opinions on her new steady and market bag in her '08 collection, what's your opinion on these bags, anyone know ths e sizes? Thanks for your help to all, just trying to get a great bag!

I will try to answer:

I don't know how well the leather holds up because I've only owned my bags for a few months. BUT the leathers are all very high-quality, smell great, and are beautiful colors. I would recommend it for anyone.

As far as I know, there are no matching wallets or scarves.


As for the new bags, I LOVE the steady bag! If you go into the "new Rebecca Minkoff" thread, there are a bunch of pics.

Thanks daniela! I do have my eye on a couple of the bags already, just trying to decide which one... can only limit myself to one bag... at least for the next few months! haha

The leather holds up well. The only thing I've had trouble with is the handles. The handles on my oldest MA (about 7-8 months) are starting to wear out a bit. I do carry the heck out of that bag and put tons of stuff in it though so it's probably my fault.

All the rest of the leather on the bag looks great and good as new. I use Appleguard to treat it.

I have never seen wallets or scarves. She has cute chains though.

I think the Steady looks adorable. Haven't seen it in person yet but can't wait!

HitchcockBlonde, what kind of wear? Handles stretching? Losing color? Is it noticeable? I haven't heard much about how RMs wear.
I really want one of the new blue bags (ANY of them!), but missing bits of color on the handles would be very noticeable in that color, I think.

Side note: I just want to say how much I appreciate people like HitchcockBlonde and Gung contributing their knowledge to us RM neophytes. :okay:

^I haven't experienced any color loss on any of my bags but the handles I think have a bit of stretch to them. However, I hang my bags a lot, like on hooks, purse hooks, coat racks, pretty much anything to keep it off the floor. I think because of that, the handles have a bit of stretch to them. I dont mind at all though; I actually prefer it.
