Founded on the ideals of creativity, femininity, and a slightly rebellious, somewhat seductive allure, Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu was born to stand out. Miu Miu is unfussy and fun, and there’s an essence of the Miu Miu persona in all of us.
The brand’s latest bag echos that exact sentiment—unfussy. A grab-and-go carry ideal for everyday use, Miu Miu debuts the Aventure for Fall/Winter 2024 with an array of tricks to fully customize the bag to your uniqueness—and that’s where the fun begins.
An Archival Revival
An ode to Miu Miu’s heritage, the Aventure is inspired by a 2009 doctor bag, and this time, it also arrives as a vertical shopper. Miu Miu’s renaissance has been defined by its smaller Matelassé bags like the Wander and Arcadie, but this is the bag that I find most exciting.
It has the ideal amount of charm melded with functionality and usability—two things that define the perfect daily haul-all. Crafted from vegetable-tanned Nappa Aviator leather and finished with aged gold-tone hardware, the Aventure offers a relaxed construction and the effortless appeal of a lived-in look.
It feels like a true embodiment of what the Miu Miu individual would carry.
The Details
If you’re looking for an everyday bag, the Aventure bag will tote it all. Its large interior is expansive, offering a zipped pocket for smaller necessities. The straps comfortably sit over the shoulder, or it can be carried in the crook of the arm.
This bag truly strikes the ideal balance of function and style. The leather is meant to look loved, another noteworthy feature of a bag you’ll carry everywhere. The overall dimensions are 31cm H x 40cm W x 13cm L.
Then there’s the smaller Aventure Top Handle. Pulling from the Miu Miu archives, it offers a vintage appeal, modernized to be lighter in construction, giving off a bit of edge.
Arriving in two sizes, the larger of the two still offers a decently sized interior, with room to hold a large wallet, a cell phone, a small notebook, and other items. Dimensions are 17cm H x 33cm W x 11cm D.
While we took just the two larger shapes out to play, there is a smaller size of the top handle for the mini bag lovers among us. Both sizes offer a double-zip top, interior zippered, and patch pockets with a shoulder strap that can be adjusted and/or completely removed.
Charmed By Tricks
The thing that has always attracted me most to the Miu Miu brand is that while its core DNA and brand ethos are distinct, they cannot be pinpointed. The uniqueness in every Miu Miu piece—from bags to ready-to-wear and shoes—allows its wearer to make it their own.
At times, the fashion world leaves many feeling like outsiders, but the relatability and hint of quirkiness draw me in. If you love different, you’ll love the range of tricks accompanying the Fall/Winter 2024 offerings. And if you’ve been enamored by the return of bag charms in general, you can thank Miu Miu, who has helped catapult this trend back into ubiquity.
From colorful woven leather tricks that offer the nostalgia of camp-style lanyards and leather belt buckles to intricate leather florals and more, there are a myriad of playful ways to accessorize your Aventure, making it distinctly you.

The Aventure bag is beautiful. A bit like the Margeaux but with more character and oomph. Only turn off is at $4k plus for a bag I want to know where my bag is made, tye website product description says “imported” which is not good enough. I’m guessing made in China
Most Miu Miu bags are made in Italy, with some made in Turkey.
Love this bag. This shoot is giving me fall vibes – absolutely love the photos!
Prices are egregious, for an entirely machine made bag with materials from who knows where. Consumers really don’t care huh.
I don’t disagree with you overall, but just because a bag is made with a sewing machine doesn’t make it worth less or less desirable. Most luxury bags are made using a mixture of both techniques.
In addition, made by Chinese immigrants 😂 One of my uncle who bought a factory in Italy and making “ Luxury “ brands bags. We are good at making stuff
I love everything Miu Miu is doing, probably my favorite brand on the market. They made bags fun again and the charms became cool thanks to Miu Miu! Will have to check it out!
I totally agree – I do love Prada but I will always be a Miu Miu girl at heart!
Gorgeous styling and direction in this shoot!
Obsessed!! Sooo cute
I want the Mary Janes the model is wearing
charmed by the styling here ! the top handle shape in briarwood is calling my name. great shoot !
Adore Miu Miu and love these bags but love my smooshy slouchy vintage Miu Miu bags even more
It doesn’t get much better than smooshy and slouchy! These definitely offer that feel IRL.
Funny, I just received today the larger top handle in Briarwood that I ordered from their website. It was love at first sight for me and I saved up for this splurge. I think it started with the east west silhouette and the hardware. And it really exceeded my expectations actually. The leather is fragrant, supple and gorgeous like a well loved jacket. The hardware is both perfectly chunky and perfectly in proportion and of superb quality as well. The zippers glide like a dream. The rich chocolate color is a great alternative to black for me, since I prefer earth tones. I hadn’t even considered tricks but may have to now!
Enjoy it!! I was so excited about the release of this bag too – was so fun to see and experience it IRL when we shot it. The tricks are really fun!
Love the Miu Miu Aventure Bag! The unique design with a touch of classic elegance is perfect. Your post makes it clear why this bag is such a must-have.
