Miu Miu tote in Suede getting ready for winter

Miu-Miu

So been a while since I’ve had some quality Miu Miu here on designerbags as I just haven’t seen anything to get me interested but I did spot this new tote in chocolate Suede which is looking very equestrian in its style. I suppose the first thing that comes to mind is this is a tote with winter in mind. It’s true that the colour is an autumn regular and this will probably put people in the height of (supposed) summer in doubt.

I do have to mention that Suede is definitely not for everyone as its nowhere near as durable as leather, somehow spills and especially water just seem to seep into it from every angle, and don’t even get me started on food stains. However if you are going to go for a Suede bag then I’d say dark brown would be the way to go as its going to hide those accidents much better than any colour I can’t think of. By the way has anyone ever tried some of the specialist cleaners for Suede as I have heard some good things but I’m always weary about using a 3rd party product on my handbag.

As you can see from the picture the leather handles and buckles fit really well with the overall theme even the gold shoulder strap that I definitely wasn’t sure about from the start grows on you after a while (it is detachable). It’s cheap for a Miu Miu at around £1000 in most places but for a bag that’s really only for one season this could be too expensive for some.

New flying bird clutch from Miu Miu

miu miu

So i already reviewed a Miu Miu bag about a month ago but i liked that one so much i thought i would do another one for this new “pink bird clutch”. The most striking thing about this clutch is the bird on the front which really does seem like it is flying. Best thing i suppose is that more designers are starting to Jazz up their bags a bit, ive seen too many with just plain colours and patterns lately. The bird design on the front of this bag really breaks up the stripes on the front well. This is actually quite a big clutch as it comes with an optional shoulder strap if you don’t want to hold it all day. You could stay that its half way between clutch and tote.

What cant be denied though is that this Miu Miu really grabs attention and with so many designers vying for attention these days youve really got to do something special to stand out from the crowd. I know some fashion houses are trying to stand out by reducing prices and offering discount offers but in my opinion the No1 thing that should drive sales should be the quality of the product itself.

New clutch handbag from Miu Miu

Miu Miu clutch handbags are back and this time they are going for something a bit different. For a long time designers making new clutches have been happy with just some bright colours or occassionally some exotic leather but this new purse from Miu Miu is really quite startling. For a start the little red/orange discs are just gorgeous and i love the way it fades from red to brown.

It also has a an almost 70s feel to it but not in a bad retro way! I can really imagine this fitting in well at your next high class disco or modern bar. Its not cheap however coming in at £545 in designer shops, though i think there are some discounts to be found online. I also like the fact the Miu Miu are starting to move away from the standard box clutch bags which can often feel clumsey and oncorindated. The material feels really felixable and its not something that is likely to annoy you more as the night goes on, a good investment that will go well with a range of outfits i feel!
