Lately I’ve been tiring of Miu Miu’s over-embellished, overdone designs, so I’m thrilled to see the label paring things back with this Velvet Clutch.
This purse reminds us of the beauty that comes with well-designed simplicity. Its unusual bean shape just begs us to hold it, especially as it’s made from sumptuously soft velvet. Its rich cherry red color is deeply sensuous. I can just imagine the way it’d look paired with a vibrant print, or against a little black dress.
On the front we’ve got the little gold bauble on the envelope flap, which pops against the lush red material. And on the back, Miu Miu offers some branding. It’s unusual to hide a logo away like this, but also a sign of the times. In a world that’s moving away from ostentatious displays of wealth, it makes sense to keep the name discreet.
The interior is petite but well thought out with slit pockets in both the front and back wall. If I were to feel critical I might suggest the lack of strap is an oversight, but I’m honestly not so sure. While a hands-free carrying option is always convenient, something tells me the Velvet Clutch wouldn’t look quite as chic with a chain attached.
At $635 this clutch is expensive, too expensive for my rational side. But there’s something about this clutch that’s crawled underneath my skin. Is it tempting you?
