Alba Does It Again


Can I tell you ...about our fave girl Jessica Alba? While I was away on holidays, my PR diva Jackie sent me this photo of her wearing our new "Milla" foldover bag (She's got the black, but the other colors are pretty yummy, too). You can't imagine how thrilled I was when I got it. What a great way to end the year, I thought: me, sipping champagne at the Met Bar in Bangkok looking at Jessica Alba, wearing my bag. Doesn't it look great on her? This is the kind of stuff that just totally makes my day as a designer. It's the ultimate compliment when a girl like her, who has access to every designer on earth, chooses to wear my designs over the usual major brands. It says as much about her individuality and self-confidence as much as it says about my designs. Plus, it's one of my favorite bags this seasons, so it's a win-win situation, if I may say so myself. Muchas Gracias Senorita Alba!

In case any of you girls reading this want to wear this bag NOW, you can buy it on :
www.shoptwigs.com, bergdorfgoodman.com, neimanmarcus.com as well in the next day or two at rafe.com.

For any of you girls who live in Manhattan and need instant gratification, you can run over to Bloomingdales, Henri Bendel or the Rafe store.

Girls not living in the Big Apple will have to call our toll free number: 877 - 4RAFENY to get a list of stores near you.

Next week I'll be posting my vacation photos. Stay tuned.

Not to be overlooked but the boys (not just the girls) can 'work' that look!

congrats on the celebrities wearing your bags. I may be spending a couple of days in Singapore in March, so I will be picking your brain about that soon ( as seen in your blog!)

Good for you, Rafe! It's great to know that your designs can stand up or even favored over the usual major brands, and by Jessica Alba at that. Hope all is well.

Wow! First time I have visited your blog. I'm really low tech...I am amazed how far you can reach from just posting some fresh news. I read all the past blogs and I had fun. Thanks Rafe for sharing it. Alba looks great and so does your bag!

Does everyone see that big smile of satisfaction on Jessica's face? She is lovin' her Rafe bag! Congratulations Rafe! Your designs are delicious. I keep my Crosby Waxed Leather Angela bag very close by. And it's not just easy on the eyes...the shoulder chain plays a sweet song for my ears. Did I mention the feel? What a multisensory experience! The matching wallet arrived today ... you are awesome!

Happy New Year to you! Congratulations, your bag looks great on Jessica Alba. And why shouldn't she select it over every other bag? It's fabulous. I have seen your shoes and bags throughout the year in magazines and am so happy to have a chance to say hello.
