Rebecca Minkoff

Born in San Diego, California, Rebecca's first love was the art of design and began sewing at the age of 8. Although Rebecca's handbags have been a hit among the stars and women all around the world, she began designing clothing at the age of 18. She launched her clothing line in 2001, but it wasn't until her good friend and actress Jenna Elfman asked her to design a handbag for her next movie that the 'Morning After' bag was born. She took her ideas to her handbag collection, wanting to design bags for everyday women that were versatile in color and comfortable in style. Rebecca Minkoff's handbag collection has been spotted on the arms of such celebrities as Hilary Duff, Bijou Phillips, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, and Debra Messing to name a few. This 26 year old has made her mark in the New York fashion scene as a notable designer and plans to venture back into clothing in the upcoming seasons.
