Miu Miu is one of those lines that I approach dubiously, and bags like this are the reason why. While some of its design elements might have seemed interesting a few years ago, today it looks dated and somewhat ridiculous.
The nude patent leather is almost a good choice. Nude is fading out of fashion’s spectrum these days, but it’s still a nice neutral. The patent, however, makes it look a bit cheap and plasticy. The warmth of the burnished gold hardware doesn’t combine with it particularly well, either.
The fact is that this bag is just too big. Even though it’s got a shoulder strap, the strap is too slim to be useful, so it’s basically a clutch. It’s way too oversized to carry comfortably, which means that you have the choice of either awkwardly carrying it or letting it hang weirdly from your shoulder. Neither is a very attractive option.
At $1,095, the bag isn’t just badly designed, it’s also totally overpriced. This is another disappointing design from a once very cool line.
