Miu Miu, the little sister line to the more recognizable House of Prada, is known for quirky, offbeat, irreverent designs that rival the quality of Prada for a much lower price point. Usually I adore most anything they come up with, and my yearly fashion wishlist is regularly dominated by their styles, but I have to say that I just don’t know what they’re going for with this one.
The Miu Miu Geometric Snake Bag is a snake-embossed material printed with a pixelated black and red checkerboard print. That’s certainly a mouthful, and it looks it. I am always a fan of adventurous texture mixing, but this is taking things a bit far. The pixelated design might be nice against a sleek patent leather, but against the snake embossed material, it gets muddied.
The overdesign of the bag only starts with the print. The dual leather handles that attach to the bag are too think to bring any elegance to the bag, and the removable shoulder strap is too thin to be practical.
To be honest, I might buy this bag at a thrift store for $3.99 to wear with my favorite 80’s geo-print sweaters and leggings, but $1,150 seems like a joke. You can get this look for a lot less, and I’m not sure anyone wants it that badly, anyways.
