Uniquely MINI. The bags and accessories from the MINI Collection 2008-2009.

Munich. The MINI is different. Completely different. The popular compact car
breaks modern conventions and sets trends - with success. On the road. And
beyond. The most current evidence - the spectacular bags and accessories from
the "Pop Style" and "Not just a tattoo" series of the MINI Collection
2008-2009, developed in cooperation with Panda. Panda S.r.l. is a Finduck Group
Spa company which is responsible for the operational control of Finduck Group
Spa's brands, such as Tommy Hilfiger and MINI Bags.

"Pop Style"
Fashion meets Pop Art - utilizing contrasting colours from bright yellow to
electric blue, the bags and accessories from the "Pop Style" series create a
monument of art for the modern lifestyle icon MINI. There is no need to think
of a museum - the art of the MINI Collection can be admired in everyday life.
The multipurpose "Pop Style" bags made of high-quality 100% elastic synthetic
material are ideal for daily use. The essential Shopper, the elegant Small
Duffle and the handy Ammo Bag - this colourful feminine line offers
masterpieces for every taste and occasion.

The accessories from the Pop Style series represent the perfect add-ons. The 15
x 21 cm Journal Book provides enough room for personal notes and is a stylish
and elegant addition to the bags. The punched-out MINI lettering on the matte
black cover shows the first page of the paper underneath in a colourful Pop
Style look. The brown leather Dangle Key Ring with double folded sateen strip
with imprinted Pop Style design visualizes the practical aspects of art. The
trendy colourful automatic Umbrella with handle in original MINI gear knob
design makes even rainy days enjoyable.

"Not just a tattoo"
Self-confident, attractive, individual - and the heart of a rebel under the
hood. Equally tempting - the bags and accessories from the MINI Collection
series "Not just a tattoo". The distinct hallmark of this product line creates
authentic rock vibrations - a MINI with a crown, eagles' wing, and electric
guitars in the form of an elaborate tonal tattoo embroidery. The glamorous
Bowling Bag is available in two versions - vintage black leather with silver
seams, handle and bottom as well as brown leather with gold. The unisex
Shoulder Bag in hip retro look is available in vintage black with silver.

"Dare to be different" is the motto of the MINI accessories. The look of the
MINI Belt made of dark brown leather is dominated by the embossed tattoo design
on the prominent metal buckle. The handy Tattoo Leather Lanyard with embossed
tattoo motif on the front can be adjusted to one of two lengths with a snap
fastener. The embossed tattoo design also gives the brown Tattoo Leather Key
Ring an unconventional touch.

The accessories and bags from the "Not just a tattoo" line can be combined with
matching fashion products featuring the same tattoo print from the current MINI
Collection, available for both men and women.

The MINI bags and accessories can be purchased from September 1, 2008 at MINI
dealerships, on the Internet at www.MINI.com/shop, and at select retailers.
