Miu Miu is getting into the Olympic spirit with a capsule collection of metallic handbags.
These accessories in gold, silver, and bronze, the colors of the Olympic Games medals, make a welcome change from all the London focused accessories we’ve seen lately. While those Union Jack handbags will date once the Games are over, these metallic purses will continue to look fresh. I can’t say I’m a fan of the glitzy finish, but anyone who is will find these handbags easily make the day to night transition.
The line is quite comprehensive, with the spacious Matelasse bags pictured, matching Matelasse clutch purses, satchels with smooth leather finishes, iPhone and iPad cases, and footwear. Which piece is your favorite?
Unless you’re attending the Games, you’ve got little chance of getting your hand on one of these sports themed Miu Miu goodies. They’re only available at selected Miu Miu boutiques in London, and as numbers are limited they probably won’t last long. We all know how fashion lovers adore a collection that’s rare!
I’m not sure how I feel about the swag of Olympic themed designer handbags though. I can understand designers wanting to cash in on the Games hysteria, but what do luxury bags really have to do with this sporting event? How do you feel about the recent rash of limited edition lines?
