Miu Miu’s accessory line has been making a steady decline for the past few seasons. It’s kind of sad, really. I used to think of Miu Miu as Prada’s quirky, cutting edge little sister, but I’ve come to think of it as sort of a tag along little sister who hasn’t really figured out her own sense of style. This Vitello tote, however, is sophisticated, cool, and totally chic.
The pale, washed out gray leather is very of-the moment. The cool tone is beautifully offset by the warm yellow gold hardware. The grain of the leather is so smooth that it’s basically invisible. This, combined with the super shininess of the hardware creates a very sleek looking bag.
But the Vitello isn’t so sleek that it becomes impractical. Au contraire, it’s one of the most utilitarian Miu Miu bags I’ve seen in a long time. The size is generous, and the multiple straps mean that it can be carried many ways. Also, the top zips completely closed, which will keep all you stuff in place even if your bag gets turned over.
At, $1,470, the Vitello doesn’t come cheap, and truthfully, I think you can find an equally cool bag for less, but this is still the first Miu Miu bag I’ve seen in a long time that I think might be worth its hefty price tag.
