Rebecca Minkoff for Momoberry
get used to hearing her name, because Rebecca Minkoff is now household. We had the pleasure of interviewing the young incredible handbag designer, and now we are bringing you news of a recent partnership Rebecca has teamed up on. Momoberry by Sanrio has added a new co-branded collection for the holiday season with their Rebecca Minkoff for Momoberry line. The handbags have already hit the stores, including the Momberry boutique in LA, along with SANRIO shops across the country, and online. There are four handbags offered, including a coin purse, a clutch, a satchel, and a tote. all of the handbags offer Rebecca’s signature sexy and chic leather handbag touch along with hi Kitty graphics. On both the tote and the satchel, the only hi Kitty additions are on the hardware, and the inside lining, which makes these handbags ideal for the customer that loves hi Kitty yet is not searching for it to take away from the bag. The coin purse and grasp offer a much more recognizable hi Kitty pattern, that is cute and ideal for smaller accessories. These handbags are limited edition and can be purchased online best now at Sanrio.

“We have been quietly building the Momoberry brand to reflect the desire of the upscale hi Kitty customer,” says Andrea Sobel, Vice president of marketing at SANRIO. “We are true fans of Rebecca Minkoff’s designs, and feel her understanding of our brand will translate perfectly into a distinct Momoberry handbag collection.”
“I have been a fan of hi Kitty and Sanrio because I was a little girl and I feel very fortunate to be working with Sanrio as a designer,” says Rebecca. “This has been an outstanding process because the beginning and I’m thrilled to see the reaction to this distinct line!”
We were lucky to be sent all four of the bags to take pictures and review. I am in love with the hi Kitty Rebecca Minkoff leather Satchel, the brown Italian leather provides a subtle shimmer in the finish with looks ideal with the gold hardware. $600 at SANRIO.
The black leather on the hi Kitty Rebecca Minkoff leather tote is so lush and supple that I could not keep my hands off. The frame top opens up to a huge compartment that can be filled with all work goodies (also great dimensions for a travel bag). $650 at SANRIO.
The hi Kitty Rebecca Minkoff grasp combines lush black leather strips on top of the Rebecca Minkoff/Kello Kitty design. The grasp can fold over to save space. $375 at SANRIO.
Lastly, there is the very cute hi Kitty Rebecca Minkoff leather Coin purse which uses the same beautiful brown leather as the satchel and has hi Kitty embossed on the front. $150 at SANRIO.
