Miu Miu Pleated Leather Satchel

If the fashion world were like wrestling, Miu Miu would be one of the heavyweight champions. There are other designers who would rank, but I guarantee, Miu Miu would come out on top in a lot of designer duos. (Except maybe for Dolce and Gabbana. They just rock.)

This is how amazing their designs are, and how prolific they are in the industry. When they come out with bags like their Pleated Leather satchel, it’s easy to see why lots of fashionistas drool over their creations. I really have no words for how amazing this bag is. It simply blows me away.

The Pleated Leather satchel is made with black pleated leather in a unique shape and style. The bottom is rounded, while the top comes out in two points, giving the bag a rather cauldron-like shape. I adore the way the leather is pleated over the exterior, except for one strip at the top, which has a zip pocket and silver-toned hardware to hold the dual top handles. The bag even comes with a detachable cross-body strap so that you can carry it any way you like. Inside, it has a soft cloth lining and interior zip pockets. If you have the same problem I do, in that your Italian leather expensive purse gets scratched on the bottom whenever you set it down, you’ll appreciate Miu Miu’s inclusion of metal feet on this bag to protect the base.

In short, this bag is unique and amazing, and for $1590, it had better be. Find it at NeimanMarcus.com.
