What is your opinion on the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After handbag?  When I look at it, it looks rather plain, but at the same time it is so appealing and I find myself drawn to it.  I think I want one, but is it worth the price?

I think it's really beautiful. I'd totally buy it, if I had the "extra" money!

In general, RM bags are luxurious and beautiful.  I'm happy that I invested in one.

I got mine in late 2006 and carried it through that winter, last year fall/winter, and this year fall. It still looks great (i love the patina on the handles) and I am pretty much a bag abuser (never switch them out, don't use dustbags, etc.). I got an amazing deal, but would pay full price (ok, well maybe discounted w/ a code) knowing how much use i've gotten out of it. If you can afford it, do it! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I had the exact one she is carrying in the picture - I carried it for 6-8 months. It was great for travel, because it's REALLY roomy and I also loved the style.

BUT, day-to-day, I don't carry a ton of things in my bag, and because of this it flopped into a leather puddle whenever I set it down. The leather was *too* soft and buttery for me.

I would totally get the morning after mini if I knew it had more structure.

I'm still sad it didn't work out.

I have two RM bags. A Morning After and a Nikki. I'm a fan of both and think they are worth the expense.
I have both in the large size. I'm a mom so I end up carrying a lot of kiddie junk in it so I need and love big bags.

I really like the Morning After Mini, but I am petite so the regular size is a bit too large for me.  The mini is 20% smaller.

I recently got the morning after mini in cloud grey.  I absolutely love it.  I got it on super sale, but I would have paid more for it.  It's a gorgeous bag,the leather is so soft and smooshy and the mini is the perfect size for me.

Where did you get it on super sale?  Do you think there will be any big sales on them after Christmas?

She just had a sample sale so you might have missed the best deals but I've still seen decent prices on ebay for a lot of them.  I have quite a few RM's and love the morning after bag.  The regular size one I don't carry much but the Morning after mini (MAM) has become my go to bag, so much so that i have it in black and brown.  The leathers are soo smushy.  Worth it.

What is the difference between the Morning After Bag and the Morning After  Bag Luxe?

I have the mini Morning After and absolutely love it. My particular bag isn't smooshy like some others, but I don't know if that's because of the particular color I got.
I got mine when Shopbop had a coupon code, so I think if you go for it you can wait for a discount somewhere.
Be forewarned that it might become an addiction. I want to add another to my collection.

some of the online sample sale sites have recently had a bunch of of RM bags - i think both gilt and hautelook - i think the bags have been up 3 times since the fall so if you sign up for their emails you can get in on the next sale

Right before Thanksgiving, Saks had a super sale on their whole store.  I scored it for like 75% off retail price.  They don't have any left now though - there were only like 3 Saks in the U.S that carried RM to begin with, and I just called one store and got lucky.

I know funkylala.com carries RM and there's a 35% off code right now.  HTH.

I have a Morning After Mini in emerald and I love it! It's one of my favorite bags. I think the leather is great and I like the shape of the MAM. I loved my MAM so much that I bought two more RM bags in different styles and I've been very happy with them. I've never bought 2 of the same bag, but lately I've been considering getting a second MAM. A lot of sites have RM on sale right now. Luna Boston has a code, I think. So do label360 and revolve clothing (I think).

Thanks ladies so much.  I am getting a RMB in Cloud Gray for Christmas.  I got it for 35% off at funkylala.  SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAALLLLL!!!!!
It is my first "high-end" bag purchase.  I know that Chanel and Louis Vuitton is what is considered high end, but you know what I mean.  The most I have ever spent on a bag was on an $81 knockoff of a Louis Vuitton.  However, I am fast becoming a bag snob.  Well, maybe snob is not the appropriate word--let's just say I am becoming more appreciative of quality over quantity.  I have decided that I want a quality bag.  I will model it when I get it. 
The next bag I want is an Anna Corrina City tote.  I am not sure about size, color, etc, but that is one I have loved for a long time.  When the time gets near, probably about 6 months from now, I will be asking for advice.
