The Official Rebecca Minkoff & Team Discussion Thread

[cute_lil_fiend]

Just adding my voice to the chorus, but I had a dismal experience with RM customer service when I sent my satchel in for repair. I had to chase them down continuously to get any sort of update about the status of the repair. It took more than 2 months from when the satchel reached them to when I received it back. That, coupled with the fact that the leather on the new bags has taken a nosedive in terms of quality, has made me very reluctant to consider purchasing any more RM bags. A shame, really.

This is great news! Welcome back!

I know I'm not the only one hoping and wondering, but is there any chance the MAM/MAB and Nikki make a come back?!?

Wanted to tell you how much I loved and appreciated the leather belt bags / fanny packs you put out a couple of years ago. I bought one in black and one in a tan brown. Love these!!
I wear as a sling bag rather than as an actual belt lol they are very nice.
Photo from Nordstrom website. The review in that page discusses a shedding tassel but I have never noticed that issue and I have used the bags quite a lot.

 

[Rebecca Minkoff OG]

Denverite- It's funny you ask that bc the other day I thought perhaps it's time for the Nikki to make a comback! As for the MAM/MAB, we did bring it back for our stores and online recently and it just didn't seem to have the same love it had.... did you see the ones we reissued?

 

[Rebecca Minkoff OG]

@floatinglili-don't worry more belt bags to come! We have some fun stuff in store for Spring of '18. Some that are slings and some that are true belt bags. Keep ur eyes out as they will be at Nordstrom and Shopbop!

I would be interested in the return of classics like the Nikki, MAM, MAB, and MAC, especially if they are made in NYC - usually I don't pay a lot of attention to where bags are made, but I always felt like my made in NYC RMs seemed higher quality and to have better leather. I was excited to see the MAM brought back recently but didn't get a chance to check them out in person to see what I thought of the leather and colors.

Me toooooo...please go back to those scrumptious bags you produced few years back. Nikki, MAB, those were the best!!!!!!

I would happily make here but here's the questions that you would need to answer: the cost of Labor, materials, leather and hardware in US is almost double. So that begs the question: how much more would you pay for a made is USA bag? Bc we have always worked tirelessly to make sure we made products that were of high quality and great price. But with a few hundred dollars more would you still feel that way? Keen to hear!

I would love the return of the MAB satchel. I would pay for the quality if it is US made no doubt.

 

[Rebecca Minkoff OG]

@Shelbyrana how much more?

 

[Rebecca Minkoff OG]

Also I am curious to hear from you ladies about the stigma that bags made overseas are of a lower quality? I made in the same factories as some unnamed luxury brands that are supposedly made elsewhere. Bags you might own and covet. I can assure you since we went overseas, our quality of make has gotten better.
