After reviewing the sickly sweet pink Matelasse zipper clutch earlier in the week, I was really beginning to lose faith in Miu Miu, again. The line is unreliable, to be sure, but for the most part, the Matelasse bags are fabulous. This edgy black leather shoulder bag is so well designed, in fact, that it looks like something from a more reputable line.
The supple black leather on this Matelasse shoulder bag has a fabulous, subtle shine to it that makes the quilting look that much more opulent. The gold hardware on the bag is edgy, but classic. The heavy clasp with its small screws and black accents is a great centerpiece for the bag, and I love how discrete the small stamped Miu Miu logo is.
The fold-over front flapped pouch shape of the purse is actually quite traditional, but the Matelasse quilting makes it look anything but. The overall effect is modern, but ladylike. This is an accessory that can bridge the gap between your business suits and your sassy nightclub gear.
At $1,795, it’s a bit pricey, but seriously this bag looks so good that it could pass for Alexander McQueen.
