Fashion Week Handbags: Miu Miu Spring 2011

Do you like leather applique? Bright colors? Cutout straps? Then step right up, because Miu Miu’s carnival game of a Spring 2011 handbag collection is a little bit daffy, but maybe also a little bit inspired. Miuccia, after all, does not make missteps.

Perhaps most important, I can easily imagine the Miu Miu girl wearing these designs. They’re irreverent, girlish and perhaps a little bit ironic, but they also have a very, very clear point of view and will stand out in a crowd. The appliques range from feminine to rock-influenced, so if you’re under the age of 30, enjoy bright colors and have some extra income, you might find a great, if slightly odd, addition to your wardrobe in this collection. If you don’t fit that slim category, I’m not sure you’ll find anything relevant in these bags.

I don’t fit into that slim category but I really love the bags with the applique! Miu Miu always stands out!

I love Miu Miu colelctions and also this collection is amazing, for me…But i Think that these bags have an appearance too much “cheap” and less chic than the classic Miu Miu bags!!

These bags are boiling, hot messes. They look like cheap handbags sold in vinyl instead of leather. There’s not one single bag that I would remotely want to carry. If someone gave it to me, I would hawk it on eBay or craigslist.

Yuk. It’s the 80′s.

I can’t help it. When I look at these bags I hearken back to my grandmother and the bags she carried in the mid to late 70′s…looks just like some of the Miu Miu’s above. Specifically #’s 1, 6 & 12 – minus the artfully done straps. Just not my cup of tea.

The highlighter yellow bag is surprisingly nice. I also like the straps; not a lot of people decide to do something fancy with the straps in this way.

My 9 year old daughter love these bags. Miu miu always try to be “young” but their prices have gone way up, some even into the Prada level. I would not pay a premium for any of of these bags. While I appreciate “color” in bags, these look cheap and chintzy.

I despise applique. Shabby, plastic-looking retro chic does little for me.

#8 has a very punky spirit though.

Agreed, it would be a very slim niche that would appreciate these bags, but I think if you have an artistic, daring sense of style, you could pull it off. The cream colored ones are sedate enough that I could imagine myself wearing one – it would definitely spice up even the most boring of outfits!

The pink actually looks the nicest because of its simplicity. (ipad)
