Mystery Monday, Rebecca Minkoff Main Squeeze Foldover Bag: PAMELA PEKERMAN

This weekend, while helping my mother with grocery shopping and other errands – poor thing is on crutches due to a triple fractured ankle caused by the excellent clean up job the NYC Sanitation Department did during the December 2010 blizzard – I realized my mom is experiencing a handbag emergency. In order to carry her own handbag while on crutches, she needs to give up her totes and satchels and try a hands-free alternative. The Main Squeeze Foldover from Rebecca Minkoff ($395) is a great option for anyone, like my mom, who doesn’t want crutches to cramp her style. On-trend with its 70’s, dirty orange shade and saddle bag style, this crossbody also has plenty of easy-to-access outer pockets. Plus, the foldover with magnetic snap closure is ideal for anyone that can’t fuss with zippers, but wants to have the security of knowing unnecessary fingers aren’t sneaking inside.

Accessorizing your body, bedroom & beyond!

$12,000 Raised at Ilya Peckerman Fund Silent Auction for Vasculitis Foundation: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

Last night, the first annual Ilya Peckerman Fund Silent Auction raised over $12,000, with all proceeds going to research programs benefiting the Vasculitis Foundation and its efforts to find a cure for vasculitis, a group of rare, autoimmune diseases. I’m BEYOND humbled by the generosity of my friends, colleagues and complete strangers, some of whom – thank goodness! – have not been touched by these illnesses in a personal way.

Hosted at one of New York City’s chicest lounges, the Gates located at 290 8th Avenue, the event was held in honor of my late father Ilya Peckerman who passed away form Wegener’s Granulomatosis on December 18, 2009 at age 56.

Guests had the chance to bid on fabulous merchandise and experiences. The hot ticket items were:
1) meet Rebecca Minkoff at her NYC showroom, preview her fall 2010 collection and selection one of her highly, sought-after spring 2010 bags ($950)
2) a 2-nights stay at Miami’s Shore Club in a superior king room ($1700)
3) Stuart Weitzman python bag ($1400)
4) Swarovski Cuff ($900)

A thank you to item donors from: Saks Fifth Avenue, HP, Givenchy Beauty, COACH, Derek “Fabulous” Warburton, Sabina Les, NFL, OmniPeace, YogaSpot NY, Clara Kasavina, Ted Rossi, Freebird, Jane Marvel, Samantha Thavasa, Juliet Supperclub, TheBeautyBean.com, LaLucca, Floral Icon Events, and Maria Bonita Spa & Salon. Also Thank you to Mike from GIVEN Tequila Liquor – this is not your grandpa’s tequila, it’s beyond yummy and you’ll have the chance to sip it when it officially launches this summer. Also thank you to my friend and cupcake diva (or should I say devil, since I can’t help eating so many) Tawny Ong.

The Ilya Peckerman Fund Silent Auction is just the first initiative my family is undertaking to raise money and awareness. There are plans to create a “shop for vasculitis” campaign with designers creating red (the signature color of the Vasculitis Foundation) merchandise and donating a percentage of proceeds to the fund. I hope we can count on all of your support. There will be some amazing merchandise – handbags for sure! – that you can proudly wear and know that money was also going to a good cause.

In the spirit of my dad, please ask yourself today and everyday “How can I Carpe Diem today?” Live, laugh and love to the fullest!!

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Pamela Pekerman Bag-a-licious Fashion Week Fall 2009, My Own Stash Plus BagBorrowOrSteal: BAGTRENDSl

Dear Bagistas,

No fashion week would be complete without a full disclosure of my handbag selection. Despite being in the AKA Hotel for The Daily Hospitality Suite for nearly three full days, I still managed to have plenty of handbag changes. For long stretches away from the office, I went with Rebecca Minkoff's MAB mini in persimmon - it's a wow color you can't miss. Alternatively, I also used the m. Clifford Designs Terrell Tote in black when my coat had enough going on without the need for a pop of color from my bag. For a fun evening affairs, or when I wanted to get extra attention, it was Bodhi's Safety Pin clutch - everyone always asks about it and I love the retro 50s vibe. For a quick coffee run it was my Vegan Queen wallet/clutch - great for holding lipstick and blackberry. And when all of my bag's weren't enough I turned to BagBorrowOrSteal.
Every fashion week, I borrow a few new bags as a test run. I use this company to see if I bag I'm really lusting after will work in my lifestyle. Can you imagine spending $2000 on a bag and then loathing it? Not in today's economy - not ever. So, this season I borrowed:

Chanel Quilted Flap Bag: love the bag, loved the space and outside pocket for metro card, hated how sensitive the leather was because it's just not practical for my hectic bridge-and-tunnel life
VERDICT: would buy post recession in a different finish
Chanel Classic 2.55 Quilted Camel Bag: perfect bag, lives up to the legacy, ideal depth for everything a modern gal needs, can function as work bag if you don't need folders/books/lots of extras, loved all the pockets, loved the patent finish, loved wearing strap long (key look for spring) and short (always "classic"); a perfect rental gift for a month of elegance at $250
VERDICT: recession, smashesion I want this bag now!
Valentino Petal Rose Dome Handbag: a beauty to look at, made me smile when I wore it, leather a bit too sensitive for me, never used the shoulder strap that ruins this dainty style, great day bag if you know there's a cocktail party at night
VERDICT: aesthetically pleasing, wouldn't mind owning it (hint hint Steve), but can live without it - for now
And for the first time, I borrowed jewelry too.
Miriam Haskell Large Beaded Flower Necklace: wawo-wawa!! talk about an attention grabbing piece, couldn't walk across a room without getting asked "where did you get that?", impeccable craftsmanship both on the front and back of the piece!, statement necklace is a must for spring
VERDICT: would love to buy, but I'm sure I'd get board so renting for a week at $42 is ideal to wear the trend while it's hot
Hello Kitty Pink Ceramic Diamond Watch: only a true hello kitty fan can rock this, I couldn't find the right time - no pun intended - to wear this, will try this weekend before I send everything back
VERDICT: you have to be out of your mind or a hello kitty fanatic to buy this for $3K - and this is coming from a big hello kitty fan, sorry I'm going to pass on this one

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Rebecca Minkoff Market Bag in Sex and The City Movie, BagTrends.com EXCLUSIVE: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Did you not love the movie? Never mind the obvious product placements - did you catch the Gucci I Love New York bag standing at eye level for all to see?!? The plot, the girls and the fashion was divine. I kept my eyes pealed to see who was wearing what and to my delight I spotted the Rebecca Minkoff Market bag in yellow on Samantha, aka Kim Cattrall. It's in the Mexico vacation scene when they just arrive at the Honeymoon destination. It was a split second, but I was just sure that it was a Rebecca Minkoff.

The next day I called Rebecca to see if she new about this and then we both investigated the matter to in fact confirm that YES the lovely Rebecca Minkoff was included in the bevy of beautiful bags (Leiber, Stuart Weitzman, Alina, Escada, Hollywood, Fendi, Chanel ...) worn in the Sex and The City movie.

Congrats Rebecca. I'm sure there will be a waitlist for the Market Bag in yellow. If you want to purchase it, need details, etc just email info@bagtrends.com.

Vanessa Minnillo in Rebecca Minkoff Niki Yellow + How To Pre-order New Morning After Mini: BAGTENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Yes another celeb has been spotted with the Rebecca Minkoff Niki tote. The lovely Vanessa Minnillo was sporting Niki in Yellow from the resort 2008 season. This is a really fun, bright (but not blinding) yellow that should work with most skin tones. It's one of the hot colors for the spring/summer season and with color being so strong all year long - even in my beloved "all-black-all-the-time" New York - you wont want to put this down once the seasons begin to turn. In fact, if you're always sporting a black coat, umbrella, pants, etc. just think of how much fun you'll have dandling this shot of color off your shoulder? It will make even the dreariest of Seattle days seam sunny and bright. The style is available at rebeccaminkoff.com. At SHOPBagTrends.com we have the Niki in Midnight Blue ($580) . It's a great textured leather that still has just a shot of color for those that can't image wearing the yellow.

If you'd like to purchase the yellow Niki from our shop give us a call and we'll try to get it in. No promises, but we try our best for our bagistas.

Also, because all her other bags have been so insanely hot hello!! almost all spring colors are sold out!! - we are now going to offer the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini in yellow with silver spot for pre-order. This style is slated to arrive no later than May 15, 2008. We'll be adding it for official pre-ordering on the site in 6 weeks, but I'm posting it here to give you loyal gals so extra time.

Spring 2008 Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini in Tangerine at SHOPBagTrends.com: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

While my team and I are covering New York Fashion Week, back at the office we've been getting a tone of calls at SHOPBagTrends.com requesting pre-orders on the much anticipated Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini in tangerine - as seen on Vanessa Hudgens. So, I've decided to officially put it on the site for pre-ordering. Of course, if you want you can still place the order via phone. The bag's rich color is amazing and Rebecca's newly updated hardware (logo on all zippers - which are really strong! - and embossed logo on side padlocks) really takes the Morning After the next level. This style is expected to ship approximately March 15, 2008. For spring 2008, we'll also have the morning after mini in black with a gold crackle base and ocean blue with a gold crackle base. Then in May we'll have an amazing yellow (one of the best yellows I've seen) accented with a silver sheen leather. In March and May we'll have have the newest addition to the Rebecca Minkoff family - The Steady. For color options please call our office Monday-Fiday 9am-6pm.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Bag-a-licious times in the Dominican Republic: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I'm in the Dominican Republic on a long overdue vacation – hence my MIA status. But, don't fret I'm here in all my bag-a-licious regalia with no less than 5 bags. Come to think of it that's actually really good considering I've done worse, but I tried to edit myself this time.

My 5 resort essential bags include:
1. black Rebecca Minkoff clutch - simple, leather, goes with everything, after all vacations are about hassle free, 123 dressing. That's me last night in my new DVF dress with this very bag. I also keep it within my massive Gucci (which on this trip I use as my work bag - fits the laptop, planner and other essentials)
2. Gucci Pelham shoulder bag (as mentioned above) It goes so well with my gold and white Jour Nuit flats and gold Ted Rossi cuff
3. a white terry backpack for the beach - simple and chic, and easy to wash (though I must confess I regret not getting that Rafe bag I so bag-a-licious mentioned last Friday on bagtrends ... just ran out of time.)
4. a tan leather and straw clutch with detachable chain from Savoy (which is a brand that's in the process of rebranding and really on good for summer looks, everything else is a bit on the vanilla (aka boring) side
5. another Savoy bag - this one a one-of-a-kind, super fun belt bag - not FANNY but belt bag and it's really cool. I've only worn it once prior in New York. It has a fun white and brown pattern and with white linen pants and a tight white tank it will look nice. I'll be sure to share that fashion moment later on in the week.

I'm heading off to grab some drinks and switch from Gucci to my tan and straw clutch.

As always I'm wishing you to ...

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Going Steady with Rebecca Minkoff, spring 2008 bags: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,
Yesterday we posted images of the Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2008 handbag line at BagTrends.com. Isn't it amazing? The Steady (shown here) is such a breathtaking bag and my new it bag. I love the satchel shape, the option of the shoulder strap, the four cleverly designed outer pockets and especially the flip open hidden magnetic opening. Seriously, it's divine design and I'm personally buying it in sterling which is kind of a deceiving name. The color isn't really silver, but more of a really really muted-down gold that has a silver undertone. The leather has a nice texture so it's another great through-and-go bag (ie no worries about scraping the body). They will retail for $625 at ShopBagTrends.com and I know you're thinking "gosh that's a lot," but OMG this is such a hot bag I can't even begin to tell you how I begged and pleaded at the showroom to get one asap. Alas, I too will have to wait. If you want one we'll begin taking pre-orders in January.

I also have to comment on the wicked new custom hardware on the Morning After Bags. Previously, the side clasps had no logo or spunk. But now, the RM initials in the signature swivel script are elegantly engravd into gold or silver lockets. This should help fend off pesky knockoffs. Morning After Minis will retail for $515.
