Bag-a-Thought - R&Em Spring 2011

I'm a big fan of Rebecca Minkoff's bags! Morning After Clutch, Morning After Bag, MAB Bombe, Swing...you name it, i want to own it!! However,as much as i enjoy ogling at the pictures of their bags on their website (Oh, and i jumped in delight when i saw a girl carrying a fuchsia MAC at Orchard 2 days ago!), im still unsure about forking out US$500 for a bag given my pathetic savings
*stares at bank acct and SIGH*

Now imagine my joy when i know R&Em was launched last month! It's a subsidiary brand under RM corporation and aims to sell quality bags under US$100 *dances around*

Continuing RM's style, their first Spring 2011 collection consisted of a wide range of accessories from edgy handbags, adorable pouches in the most gorgeous colors and crossbody bags lined with studs and whatnot. TOTALLY MY STYLE =)

Here are some of my favorites:



Studded ipad case / Mustard Gig crossbody bag



Runaway tote and "Dare" & "Truth" pouches



pink "Fashionista" pouch




The Face of R&Em - Fashion blogger Keiko Lynn with the small Woodstock bag in Blush.



Aren't the collection yummy?! The pouches are to-die-for =) I'll did buy a "Truth/Dare" pouch set for each of my girlfriends and we can all go shopping carrying these adorable pouches! haha.

Like all bag collections, there are hits and misses. I didn't quite get the denim and straw satchels (not featured here) but apart from that, most of the pieces are eye-catching and wayyyy more affordable than RM. =)


More bags from the launch party at Macy's NY and the happy Keiko Lynn!



Most of the bags are now for sale at all Macy's outlets and Macys.com!!

As for me, i shall keep my fingers (and toes) crossed that Gorgor bring back the following bags after his US trip by the end of March. teehee.





Until next time~
