Miu Miu’s traditionally cutting edge aesthetic has gotten a lot more, well, traditional, lately. Don’t worry, it still adds edgy little touches, but for the most part, its designs have been leaning towards the ladylike. This patent tote is a good example of where Miu Miu’s style is headed.
The shininess of this bag is almost overwhelming, which gives it a little edginess, even if the shape and structure of the bag aren’t that unusual. The patent leather has been polished to an ultra-sleek high gloss that works perfectly with the super shiny silver hardware.
The shape is that of your typical tote, but with a few added features. The silver-toned snap frame is a great addition, and makes this bag much more than a tote. The flap front closure with its giant clasp are stylish touches that catch the eye. Plus, the bonus of the double closure system on this bag is that it’s super secure, which makes it great for city dwellers that spend a lot of time on public transportation. The flip side of that is that it’s a little difficult to get into.
The small details on this tote show its quality. The reinforced seam detail on the corners, for example, gives a little texture to this otherwise super smooth bag. And the elegant shapes of the hardware give it an almost space age appeal. I don’t usually advocate for $1,595 totes, but this bag delivers a lot more than your average canvas sac.
