Designer Spotlight: Ben Minkoff men's collection designed by Rebecca Minkoff

Let me just start this post off by saying that I am a lover of anything designed by Rebecca Minkoff. I probably have over 10 bags by her in my closet, ranging from mini cross-bodies to satchels to coin purses. Her collection is definitely one of our ultimate faves at Life & Style Weekly. Her men's line Ben Minkoff  (inspired by her grandfather, who was a World War II fighter pilot) is just as luxurious and amazing! Check out some of the styles above...there is something for every guy no matter what his personality. The best part of this collection is that if you get a bag for the man in your life, not only will he love it, but you could always borrow it and seamlessly incorporate it into your wardrobe as well! ;)

1. Ben Minkoff "Michael Leather Weekender", $650

2. Ben Minkoff "Moe Tall Tote", $425

3. Ben Minkoff "Bru Weekender" $595
