Miu Miu’s Matelasse bags are the best designed accessories the label’s put out in seasons. Thankfully, there’s a whole series of them, because the rest of Miu Miu’s offerings have been lackluster, over-the-top, or a bizarre combination of both. This Matelasse clutch is a spot-on bit of glamour for an evening on the town.
I’m crazy about the smooth-grained leather that Miu Miu uses to create this quilting effect. The quilting itself has one of the most interesting patterns I’ve seen. The stitching is so intricate that leather looks almost as though it’s been woven instead of quilted.
The soft shape of the clutch is perfect for showing off the quilting, which gives the bag volume. The hard-edged frame top balances out the softness of the bottom of the bag. This bag has a look that’s both classic and edgy at the same time, which makes it remarkably versatile. I can see it working with a short LBD or with ripped jeans and a motorcycle jacket.
And at $360, it’s not just reasonably priced; it’s the least expensive Miu Miu bag I’ve had in ages. Hopefully, this combination of great design and affordability is something that Miu Miu will be making into a trend.
