Two old school reveals/question....

Hi all, I've been a longtime Rebecca Minkoff fan. I started collecting around 2008/2009. I've had many RM's over the years and pretty much sold off most of them but have recently started trying to hunt for some old school beauties that have eluded me. My ultimate HG was always RM's pearl MAB/MAM. I was even on the special order for the MAM before that got cancelled. I was lucky enough to actually find two in the last couple of months! My question though is I that thought that there were only two different versions of pearl. One that had more of a metallic/sheen to it with a pink zipper track and long, finished tassels. The second being more like Kristin Cavallari's pearl that was matte, pebbled, had long unfinished tassels and a purple zipper track. I happened to get my hands on two with the purple zipper track but both very different colors. The lighter one which I think is more like the original pearl still has a little sheen on it though. Was there another version that I'm not aware of? Maybe some experts can help me out. Sorry for the long post! Anyways, here are the pics!IMG_1495230586.981310.jpgIMG_1495230602.565818.jpgIMG_1495230618.748640.jpgIMG_1495230627.750103.jpgIMG_1495230642.068507.jpgIMG_1495230663.938108.jpgIMG_1495230677.206468.jpgIMG_1495230685.391560.jpgIMG_1495230696.692605.jpgIMG_1495230712.128251.jpg
 
Wow! I'd love either one of these beautiful colors! I'm new to RM and have a Port MAB mini and a purple mini MAC.
Love them both.....I especially love the MAB mini style in the older leathers......so beautiful!
 
Oh wow! The one with the purple zipper is to die for. I own one of the original ones with the black and white floral lining. When I get home tonight, I'll take it out to take a look and send you some photos if it helps!

I didn't even know they made some with the linings that your bags have!
 
Thanks to all for the kind words!

Denverite - thanks for the link! I'm thinking that the lighter pink mab is probably the original one that Kristin had (not the exact one but just like it). Maybe time and conditioning of the leather has given it a tiny bit of sheen?

Annaversary - I would love to see your Pearl! Is yours a mab or a mam? Both of mine actually have purple zipper tracks. The pinker mab definitely has more of a purple zipper while the lighter pink pearl's zipper track is lavender.

I love them both and they are definitely different enough that I can justify having two of the same bag! Lol
 
They are both so pretty! I am one of the former owners. I also thought there were only two versions of pearl like you mentioned - very interesting to see the color variation side by side.
