Can we talk for a moment about this whole denim thing? And I mean not talk about it like fashion people, but like people that like to buy pretty handbags, because ultimately, that’s what almost all of us are. Even if we are fashion people in our spare time. Let’s dispense with what might be “on-trend” and talk about what actually looks good. Hint: IT’S NOT DENIM.
In the interest of full disclosure, I probably haven’t worn jeans in about a year. I just don’t like them. I know a lot of people do, and they look great on a lot of women. They do not look great on me, however, and they do not look great on handbags. I’m ok with denim-colored leather, but bags like the Miu Miu Large Denim Tote are simply beyond the pale.
From a distance, this bag looks it might just be made out of the denim-immitating leather that has started to pop up around the handbagosphere (forgive me for the portmanteau), but on closer inspection, it’s actually a really expensive handbag made out of fabric that came to popularity as a heiny-cover. The Dudette most certainly does not abide (further apologies: I watched The Big Lebowski for the zillionth time this weekend and for most of the intervening days, I’ve been speaking in nothing but TBL quotes).
More than anything, though, I can’t imagine that this bag would be particularly useful. In a situation that would be casual enough to encourage people to wear a denim bag, aren’t most people already wearing jeans anyway? There’s nothing worse than too much denim in one outfit, but I suppose that if you’re already partial to the Canadian Tuxedo look, this might be the perfect way too pull all of those different washes together.
If a button or a zip of you designer handbag is broken, then you may have to wait for one year to be able to use this bag again. This is because it takes almost one year to change the broken accessories of a designer bag.
Mrs. Guo has encountered such a situation that the zipper of the A. Testoni bag that she bought not long ago was broken. When she went to the A. Testoni Shop to ask for repair, she was told that the repair center of A. Testoni was in Hong Kong, so she had to wait at least a year to get the fine bag again; and if the Hong Kong repair center couldn’t fix it, then they would have to send the bag to the original production place Italy which would end up taking much more time, possibly two years. Considering changing accessories could be so troublesome, Mrs Guo simply threw her A. Testoni bag. “Leather bag is a fashion product and every year the fashion trend is different. If it takes one year to repair a bag, when the bag is fixed and finally returned, the design is already outdated.”
After conducting surveys and interviews, the reporter found, as told by sales assistants in designer handbags stores, that in China most designer brands need six months to one year to repair a handbag, which many consumers have difficulty to accept and some of them even give up the repair service.
Miu Miu is positioned as the daily-oriented, younger clothing line from the Prada fashion house, opened in 1992 and headed by Miuccia Prada. The name of the collections is taken form miuccia Prada’s nickname. American actress Katie Holmes has been confirmed as the newest face of the spring/summer 09 campaign. French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis is the current face of Miu Miu, repalcing Kristen Dunst in 2008. previous faces include model Laetitia Casta, actress/singer Lindsay Lohan, and Chinese actress Zhou Xun.
This Miu Miu Nappa Frame Tote which features a frame top with golden hardware and black Nappa leather, push-lock closure, front and balck open pocket, hanging key pouch, logo “Miu Miu” harddware on side of bag Gold hardware and datachable shoulder strap fully lined interior with one large zip pocket, glod logo plate below zip pocket 100% authentic. This is a very clean and sophisticated look from Miu Miu, which is easy to see why Geri paired it with her refined white coat. Miu Miu handbag can polish off an outfit easily. There is a detachable crossbody strap, but wearing this as a messenger bag will take away the elegant touch.
No matter it is used as decoration on a local part or as material on a large scale, this season’s fur bags easily break its bulky impression on people. It is noteworthy that Miu Miu handbags has merged selected furs of varied types in the most classic flip clasp clutches to achieve fabulous effect. Last but not the least, a fur bag with the season’s hautest over-knee leather boots can better create perfect proportion.
Representative brands: Miu Miu, Prada, Jean Paul Gaultier
Trend analysis:
1. Colorful and ore effect fur bags dominate this season;
2. Fur bags that feature fur of small area, or have metal or leather hanging pendant decorations;
3. Small fur shoulder purses no larger than 20cm can build a light and elegant appearance.
Tips:
Fur banquette purses feature retro patterns and fur in small area is one of the best weapons for the party queen look, Khaqi and silvery grey tones can almost go with dresses in all color tones. Shoulder bags that have largely used fur in light color tones can achieve a gorgeous sexy child woman look when mix matched with fluorescence coloured tee shirts and high-waist pencil skirts.
When I first laid eyes on this new Miu Miu bag I loved it. And then I kept looking at it and thinking to myself, this bag is oddly familiar. There is another brand who designed a handbag before this Miu Miu bag that other than some finishing touches, looks like they are related.
I am talking about the Hayden Harnett Wyeth Tote, which has been one of the best sellers at Hayden Harnett and a bag that has been in their collection for some time. The Wyeth does have some studding and a bit of fringe. The price of the Wyeth Tote is half that of the Miu Miu bag. Buy through http://www.bagsbrand.com/Miu-Miu-Handbags.html.
The Miu Miu Soft Leather Shoulder Bag is the bag that got this whole post going. The leather looks extremely soft and supper with a structured top handle and two front pockets. The gold-tone buckle detail fits perfectly with the look of the bag. The overall feeling of the Miu Miu bag does not coincide directly with the Wyeth Tote, it is more subtle and subdued. This bag reminds me of something an Olsen twin would be seen wearing. I adore it
Ombré is, admittedly, a really difficult thing to pull off. It has to be the correct color transition, done in the correct shades, and with the correct depth of color. I’m not sure why the good people at Miu Miu thought that this would be a good thing to try and do with giant sequins on a tiny bag, then, but I can tell you that the Miu Miu Ombré Paillette-Embellished Clutch does not work out as well as they probably intended.
It’s not that I don’t see what they were trying to do here – I do. But on a super squat bag, three colors of sequins does not ombré make. It just makes six rows (two of each) of similarly colored paillettes. The effect is completely lost because there’s no slow and gradual transition, and the paillettes themselves are all solid-colored. If they had had an ombré effect as well, things might have gone more smoothly.
Not only that, but the paillettes look rather sloppily attached and arranged. Forming a larger overall pattern with movable objects relies pretty heavily on the ability of the designer to keep them looking neat and organized, and that doesn’t really happen here. Plus, when a sequin moves out of turn, it reflects light different than the rest and further hinders the ability of this clutch to look ombré in the least. Overall, this is not an evening bag I would actually pay money to own.
