Miu Miu has embraced its playful side with its fun spring 2010 collection. A kitten jazzes up a fairly simple black satchel, while a shimmery snakeskin print swallow dresses up a striped clutch purse. It’s definitely something new from the brand, but I’m not quite convinced.
The cut-out animals could give a spring sundress a lift, but they might also make your outfit appear a tad juvenile. The look’s definitely more youth line than high end fashion. Without the bird accent, I’d snap up the striped purse with its scalloped flap, but that feathered friend makes my grown-up side hesitate.
The cat and bird motifs run right through the Miu Miu collection, which does concern me. I might be persuaded to carry this clutch for a dash of whimsy, but wearing clothes with the same bird seems like overkill.
Only time will tell whether fashion fans embrace Miu Miu’s silly side or whether these accessories end up in the bargain bins!
