I saw this description of a Miu Miu wallet – “Carteira Miu Miu; Couro vermelho, internamente detalhes em couro rosa pastel e laranja; Ferragens douradas; Compartimento único com porta cartões e bolso fechado por aba.” Okay, first off, “Carteira” just sounds fancy. It’s Portuguese for wallet, I think? Anyway, red leather with pastel pink and orange inside? And gold hardware? That just SCREAMS Miu Miu. It’s playful, it’s girly, it’s a little bit extra, which is *exactly* what I want in a wallet.
And then there’s the whole “exotic leathers” thing that Miu Miu sometimes does. Alligator? Crocodile? I mean, I’m not sure I’m *totally* on board with exotic skins, ethically speaking, but you gotta admit they do look pretty luxurious. The second snippet talks about that “brand’s mastery of exotic leathers”. Um, yeah, I guess. But honestly, a well-made nappa leather wallet, like that “Black Large Matelassé Nappa Leather Wallet” they mention, is probably more my speed. It’s classic, it’s chic, and it won’t make me feel guilty.
The thing about Miu Miu is that they’re not trying to be boring. They’re not trying to be your grandma’s wallet. They’re trying to be FUN. They’re trying to be a little bit quirky. And that’s why I dig them. Even if they *are* kinda pricey.
