If you attended high school during the 2010s, it’s probable that you or someone you were acquainted with owned a Rebecca Minkoff purse. These bags were the ideal mid-tier crossbody option, featuring chunky hardware and leather ties that added just the right amount of edge. Fast forward 10-15 years, and Rebecca Minkoff continues to release styles that effortlessly transition your outfit from day to night.
1. The Everyday Icon
At the top of our must-have list is the Darren Signature Carryall. This bag is perfect for a Sunday filled with brunch, running errands, and inevitably ending up at afternoon cocktails, despite your promise to yourself that you wouldn’t. It pairs beautifully with both jeans and a plain white tee, as well as with a mini skirt and knee-high boots; its minimal design embodies simple sophistication at its best.
2. The Commuter Essential
It appears that every girl in NYC is on the lookout for the ideal work bag. One that can accommodate your laptop, chargers, ten different lip glosses, and all those extra items you probably won’t need but always pack just in case! This is where the Darren Large Shoulder Bag excels. It’s perfectly sized to transition from the office to happy hour without requiring its own chair, making it a chic addition to your Monday through Friday outfits.
3. The Do-It-All Tote
A stylish leather tote bag is perfect for a chic casual outfit – think denim on denim paired with kitten heels, or a lace maxi dress complemented by ballet flats. The Megan Large Tote is another versatile bag that accommodates all your essentials and more, suitable for both weekdays and weekends, whether you're stopping by the farmers market or managing to attend pilates at 7AM and then heading to the office by 9AM.
4. The Elevated Crossbody
While crossbody bags may seem like a thing of the past, they remain essential for busy women who need both hands free and a bag that can handle their load. The Darren Small Tote offers a stylish and sophisticated twist on the crossbody design, and by simply removing the long strap, it transitions seamlessly from meetings to martinis.
5. The Original It-Bag
The Morning After Bag is the iconic piece from Rebecca Minkoff that initiated the trend. Now updated, the M.A.B. Carryall still accommodates a pair of shoes, a change of clothes, and more. For those embracing the latest western or boho chic styles, its relaxed silhouette pairs beautifully with your favorite vintage cowboy or fringe boots.
