if i am not mistaken, in the stock photo, it's Smoke Cupid with silver hardware and blue/ black polka dot lining produced in 2012.
in other photos, it looks black and it's probably black. oh, i just saw the dust bag behind the bag. no matter what color, it's produced in 2012.

Thanks Kasey. When did the cupid start selling? I think I saw in another thread something like 2011? I'm so new to rm but have purchased 3 preloved this summer and hoping this will be the newest addition!!

the Cupid was launched in 2011. those Cupids come with kisses x or cheetah lining, a tassel and an external zip pocket at the back of the bag.

I don't think that is the dustbag for it because she said she doesn't have it anymore. She is selling some mini macs so it is prob from one of them. Just to clarify...cheetah print would be 2011 and dots would be 2012? And for future reference x lining with back pocket and tassel is the original that launched in '11?
I have a lot to learn lol

there're other things that make me think it has the polka dot lining. the original Cupids have external zip pocket at the back and tassel. the one in her photos doesn't have both, or either of them. so, i'm pretty sure it's one of those produced in 2012 (the color of the bag doesn't look Smoke to me... perhaps it's the light? this is Smoke Cupid that i found on NM: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Rebecca-Minkoff-Cupid-Satchel-Bag-Smoke/prod152040019/. if it's the same one, then it would come with the polka dot lining and the bag was released in 2012.

as for the linings, i'm not sure which lining came first. my guess is the kisses lining. and both of them appeared in 2011. polka dot lining is the major lining in 2012 and the b/w twill lining in 2013.

I just purchased this wine MAM and wanted to know a little more about it.

http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Rebecca-Minkoff-MAB-Mini-in-WINE-RARE-/118659871

I have another MAM in emerald which has the same lining and hardware and I think the same glazed finish so I wonder what year it may be from, 2008? Also if anyone can confirm the type of wine color -- more pure red, or burgundy, etc... it's a little hard to tell from the lighting in the pics.

Thank you all so much for your expertise!

Thanks so much Kasey, I kept looking but getting thrown by the differences in the hardware.
You are a RM guru! :worthy:

i'm flattered. i'm def not a guru ;) the Belle has 2 different locks. one is with 2 studs while one is a plain turn lock. i guess the one with 2 studs was launched in S/S 2009 and it seems the one with a plain turn lock was launched in F/W 2009 and then S/S 2010 as it comes with the stripe lining and b/w dash lining.

Another id mystery for the experts to help with. This was described as Electric Grape but I think it may be Electric Fuchsia - it is a full size MAC. Is anyone else able to give me a definite on the color? First photo is in natural light. Others are with flash.

having trouble uploading... will try more on next post
