Soft and squishy Nappa leather and unique patterns are nothing new to luxury label Miu Miu, but I'm not used to seeing much shine on their handbag designs. That, however, is not the case for the brand's recently unveiled Resort 2010 collection of purses.

Forget patchwork and matelasse elements. This time it's about quilting and shiny jewels. The new collection is full of the label's signature Nappa leather combined with shimmering jeweled straps and quilted effects.

For the most part, I'd classify these resort designs as evening bags; not only because of their fancy details but also due to their size. There's not one in the bunch that's too large to carry clutched in your hand. They might not be everyday purses, but they're definitely ones to make a luxe statement.

The Quilted Nappa Cristal bag pictured above is just one example of Miu Miu's "stage bags" for 2010. Check out more from the collection on the label's website.
