Miu Miu Bird Suede and Python Clutch

Monday, March 29th, 2010

The Miu Miu Bird Suede and Python Clutch is a welcomed surprise from Miu Miu and designer purses in general. We continue to see the same designs over and over. And for a site that reviews bags all day long, it takes additional measures to grab our attention, be it good or bad. In the case of this Miu Miu bag, I say it is good.

The clutch alternates strips of black python and pink suede with a python pink and black bird embellishment on the front. The bird accent breaks up the stripes and gives a whimsical touch. It is the shape of the bird that they use that I adore, long, lean and fashionable. The fold over top has scalloped trim which adds another touch that is greatly appreciated.

What I love is that Miu Miu thought out each aspect of this bag. And with the thought process the bag ends up standing apart from the rest. In a saturated handbag market you either have to have a classic bag that appeals to everyone or find another way to grab a buyers attention. This clutch was able to grab my attention, make me do a double take, and got me clicking to look at detailed shots. That is precisely how you engage someone, so props to Miu Miu for this clutch.

The clutch is large, considerably oversized, and offers interior compartments and an optional braided rope shoulder strap. Having an optional shoulder strap is always helpful, especially with the long shoulder drop which makes this a great evening bag but still leaves options for it as a day bag. Bravo Miu Miu!

Miu Miu Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag

Miu Miu Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag

I have a hard time pinning down the Miu Miu handbag aesthetic. Their bags seem to roam freely between minimalist and intricate, taking a pit stop at every level in between. Since “brand cohesion” is probably only something that obtuse fashion people (like moi) ever think/care about, it doesn’t necessarily seem to be a bad thing – it certainly brings them attention from a wide swath of stylish girls and women.

The Miu Miu Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag is the brand at its most intricate extreme. Based on how successful the bag is, maybe they should spend more time at that end of the spectrum.

This lively clutch-alternative reminds me of the glory days of the early aughts, when brightly patterned Dior Saddle Bags and Fendi Baguettes rules the accessories roost. This bag is like those bags were, except with an elegant, ladylike bent that most of the accessories of that era sorely lacked. This is the Queen’s Baguette, if you will.

The lurex/brocade combination is just updated enough to be cool and modern while still an obvious retro reference, and the smokey jewels on the chain are just perfection. I know this clutch probably has too much personality to appeal to everyone, but that just means that there will be more for me.

Italian luxury brand Prada was a family business founded by Mario Prada and it is known for producing handbags in Europe. However, a subsidiary brand Miu Miu that created by Miuccia Prada is being on the rise, a growing number of handbag-loving people are more willing to choose the young brand Miu Miu.

In the time of Miuccia takes over Prada, Prada has already felt into the bankrupt haze,after Miuccia saved Prada in 1983, she introduced a vice-line Miu Miu in 1992. She seemed somewhat self-serving to herself but used the most unique, the latest wave of design in the Miu Miu and enjoyed more on it. This youthful with somewhat literary taste brand not only opened up a new sky, but also developed a source of wealth for Prada.

For Miuccia, Prada is like a dignified mother, and Miu Miu is more like a young and lively daughter, they are completely different in personality style! However, Miuccia was able to apply her preference for special fabrics into the design of these two brands, which made Prada and Miu Miu reveal a hint association in fabrics and matching details but maintain the style of their own.

Compared with Prada’s noble, elegant, romantic and retro style, Youthful and colourful Miu Miu is more inclined to dress you as a sexy and charming woman. Miu Miu’s most famous handbag is her Crinkle handbag, it is hand-held and also can be carried on your shoulder, so it is very practical. You can not miss this handbag as a Miu Miu ’s fan.
