Rebecca Minkoff doesn't miss
RM has become my favorite designer to rent bags from on RTR. They are always extremely functional and well-made, and even if the bag is larger it's not heavy. After several very successful RM rentals, I am on the lookout to purchase one in the near future. This bag in particular is nice and simple, thoughtfully designed with well-placed pockets and quality hardware. The color is a pretty tomato red. Would recommend for a nice bright pop of color that can be used for any occasion.

Itchy
This was a big disappointment. The material was really stiff and itchy, and the fit was much more fitted than the photos reflect. I thought it would be more of an oversized sweater. The color was pretty, which is why I gave it 2 stars. Didn't wear it.

Cute and casual
I love a henley, and this is a great sweater for wearing over jeans or leggings on the weekend. It's a great length, and a nice weight. The only thing I don't love is that the button placket is pretty substantial, so it is weighed down between my boobs which makes them look very...pronounced. I prefer my boobs to present a more united front.

Pretty and functional
I really like the shape and details on this bag. The outer pocket is perfect for my phone, and even though it doesn't close, my phone tucks in snugly and doesn't fall out even when the bag tips over. The twist clasp on the front is really high quality - that sounds strange to say, but I never realized how cheap other turn clasps were until I got this bag and saw how nice they can be. The inside is nice as well, with pockets on each side. The reason this bag didn't get 5 stars: the long strap is an awkward length - too short to wear cross-body and too long to stay put on my shoulder, so I just carry it on my arm by the handle.

Runs VERY small
This is a pretty sweater but it runs incredibly small. It was too tight, I could get it on but could not wear it comfortably. The fabric is also really strange - stiff and rough. Disappointing, a wasted spot on my rental

Gorgeous
I loved this top. All the details (cut, neckline, zipper, etc) make this so special-looking, but it's a breeze to wear. I ended up wearing it to a more casual wedding with black pants and a moto jacket. I felt great in this top and would buy it, but it did fit me a bit snugly in the bust. I may buy it anyway as I'm losing weight.

Nice sweater
This was easy to wear, and the sleeves were a perfect length. That may sound weird to say, but I f the sleeves hit funny on my wrist it will bug me all day at work. I didn't love the fabric used as an accent on the collar and opening. It was a bit heavy and also wasn't what I'd expect on an item of this price. When I first saw the photos, before reading the reviews, I'd expected that the edging fabric would be a floaty silky material, and would have preferred that.

Perfect size and thoughtful design
I loved this bag. Plenty of space, but not too big. No matter how full I stuffed the outside compartments, the magnet closure still came together securely. Lots of pockets, and really versatile. I was able to take this everywhere. Short handles great for carrying and long strap great for crossbody wearing when I had full hands. Would buy this one

Very soft
I like this sweater. The color is really pretty, and the material is really soft. It's very easy to throw on as an extra layer. I'd say it runs a bit big, but I don't think I'd size down. Nice and cozy

Not my favorite
I just don't love this one. It's fine, just nothing special. I do like the gold buttons on the side, and the fabric is nice and stretchy. It doesn't do much for my figure, and I feel like it makes me look kind-of frumpy.

Love it
I absolutely love this bag. It's a bit smaller than I expected, but surprisingly roomy. I'm able to fit everything I need in it for a standard day, and it's easy to carry. Really love it.

Unexpected win
I did not expect to love this top. I originally rented another top for this event, but it ended up being warmer than I expected and the other top would not work. I was very glad I'd rented this as a backup top because it was perfect for the occasion and the weather. Absolutely needed a cami under it. I felt comfortable and gorgeous all night.

Just....fine I guess
I was looking for a small bag to take to a fundraiser and I was excited to find this because it's a crossbody style and was unique and interesting looking in photos. It's underwhelming in person, honestly. It doesn't look like an $85 bag, let alone $845. A miss for me this time.

As good as everyone says
I rented this to go under a leather moto jacket from RTR for my kids' school fundraiser, and it's as good as all the reviews say. I was a bit worried about the neckline because I hate high neck shirts, but everything about this top was perfect. It is exactly the right length and is beyond flattering. I love it.

Perfection!!!
This jacket is exactly what I hoped it would be. I'm wearing it over a sequin top I got from RTR, for a fundraiser at my kids' school. It's soft and beautifully made, and looks fantastic. I'll be wearing this plenty!
