It was a child-on-Christmas-Day moment when I ripped open the box, tore through the tissue paper, and finally saw the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini for the first time. I gingerly lifted the bag out of its box, removed the stuffing, slung it over my arm, and sought my reflection in the mirror. Even my sweats and t-shirt could not detract from the elegance of the soft leather, crisp lines, and classy hardware of the MAM. It was perfection.
That was several weeks ago and I’ve carried this bag every day since then. I have established a new love for the leather now that it has broken in nicely. It is soft and supple enough to look tasteful, whether carrying just the
essentials or stuffed to the gills with the kitchen sink. The interior pockets make it easy to organize and find things even when the bag is full. I love to carry the bag in the crook of my arm, or sling it over my shoulder, depending on how many shopping bags I have to carry. There is also a detachable cross-body strap that comes with the bag, for a quick hands-free adjustment.
Rebecca Minkoff brought back the longer, unfinished tassels on her MAMs this season and I, for one, and so glad she did. The removable tassels give this bag a versatile edge, making it easy to dress down or up. The first compliment I received on the bag was directed toward the tassels. They catch, and hold, every eye.
