With tons of A-list fans, and cute designs that are truly functional, I don’t need to tell you all that much about one of Purse Page’s favorite designers.  However, I am happy to tell you that those of you in the Washington D.C. area are finally getting the attention you deserve.  I know that most of the sample sales we list are either in NYC or the West Coast.  The folks at Rebecca Minkoff have noticed how many of you stylish citizens don’t always have the chance to shop in these cities and is offering heavily discounted merchandise to you this weekend.

Look alive, you New York City-based Rebecca Minkoff fans. The beloved handbag designer is hosting a buzz-worthy sample sale from May 6th to May 10th (10-8 daily) at 33 W. 17th St. between 5th and 6th Avenues in New York City. Phone and email orders will not be accepted, and there’s no word yet on what’s up for grabs, but we’ve got our fingers crossed for some Morning After Minis. See more details at RebeccaMinkoff.com.

To be honest, I’m a little on the fence when it comes to the tie-dye trend that’s all the rage right now. I love me some tie dye, but I don’t want to look like I just escaped from some Deadhead’s van. Still, there’s no denying the eye-catching power of these vibrantly swirled handbags:

Foley + Corinna Mid-City Tote: I love the worn, distressed look of this ombre-style cowhide leather tote. The colors are soft, not saturated, which is perfect for a sleepy boho look. Available for $444 at Neiman Marcus.

Rebecca Minkoff Malibu Mini Morning After Bag: This ultra-trendy purse has a youthful appeal thanks to its bright green leather trim and intense sunset-esque tie-dye effect - like melted ice cream on a hot summer day. Available for $450 at Neiman Marcus.

MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Graffiti Wallet: Leave it to this visionary designer to make airbrush-style effects cool again. This hot pink wallet is a fun way to reference this season’s ’80s trend. Available for $335 at Eluxury.

Former “5 Questions” interview subject Rebecca Minkoff and celebrity style favorite is having an online sample sale Friday, starting at Noon (EST). I personally am hoping to snag the famous MAB bag (Morning After Bag). I just have too much stuff to carry around, and I believe it should be toted around in style. Have fun, check it out and shop through this link if you haven’t registered already.

Rebecca Minkoff’s trusty Morning After Bag has undergone a serious makeover for spring. Washed in a vivid array of tie-dyed colors, this canvas handheld is light and casual and bears a slightly ’70s vibe. While it’s true tie-dye is not for most people, this Minkoff Malibu purse gives it some credibility and even manages to make it look somewhat chic. It’s great for breaking up the monotony of a simple ensemble. Available for $450 at Shopbop.

Shoulder bags, Cosby sweaters, neon galore…we’ve officially returned to the 1980s. And though I’ll seriously move to an underground bomb shelter if ye olde stirrup pants and parachute pants of yore make a comeback, these retro looks aren’t all bad. Check out these fab picks.

Marc Jacobs O.O.C. Glitter Studs Mini: Tell me this doesn’t have “Jem!” written all over it. I love the feisty fuchsia hue, and the metallic is pure party. Available for $995 at Eluxury.com.

Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse Shawl: Is there anything more ’80s than a Sprouse reference? Of course, a Sprouse-inspired handbag is divine, but I’ve also taken a cotton (er, make that cashmere) to this leopard-print shawl. Available for $725 at Eluxury.com.

Jimmy Choo Zulu Soft Clutch: Net-a-Porter has singled this studded clutch as a sign of the New ’80s, and I couldn’t agree more. Very “White Wedding.” Available for $625 at Net-a-Porter.com.

Alexander Wang Denim Leather Hobo Bag: A little Dexy’s Midnight Runners, a little Erin Wasson, a lot downtown girl cool. The “it” designer has created a funky little purse for aspiring blue jean baby queens, all with cleverly distressed leather. Available for $825 at Shopbop.com.

Rebecca Minkoff Neon Rendezvous Clutch: This Day-Glo clutch was made for hitting the clubs…or a Wham! concert. Available for $275 at Shopbop.com.

The original MAB is pretty fab, but what about its successors? This Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini Neon Trim Bag is cute and functional, with a touch of fluorescent color adding an ’80s-inspired touch to the plain leather style. With its structured shape and functional details, even the small size MAB is a total winner, at least with regard to usefulness. While I find this pretty charming to look at, I wouldn’t be tempted to spend $615 on it. Also in green and blue. Available at Nordstrom.
