Brandless Miu Miu Wallet: Is it *Really* Worth the Hype (and the Price?)
So, I’ve been kinda obsessed with wallets lately. I mean, who isn’t? It’s like, the *one* thing you need to have functioning, right? You can forget your keys (ugh, been there), but forgetting your wallet? Disaster. Anyway, I’ve been seeing Miu Miu wallets *everywhere*. Like, influencing my every Instagram scroll, you know?
And honestly, what’s the deal?
I’ve seen these cute little things popping up on FARFETCH (apparently you can get them in like, 12 installments? tempting…), and they seem to be all about the “luxury craftsmanship” and “essential addition” jazz. But is it *actually* worth dropping serious cash on a tiny piece of leather (or whatever they’re using)?
Like, let’s be real. A wallet’s a wallet. It holds your cards, your cash (if you still use cash, you dinosaur!), and maybe that loyalty card you swore you’d use but never do. Does it *really* need to be Miu Miu to do that? I mean, I get the appeal, okay? The brand is like, super cute and girly and you know, makes you feel fancy. But my beat up old thing is *functional*. It’s got the little zipper for change and the card slots, it’s just… not sparkly.
I gotta say, I’m leaning towards thinking that maybe its over hyped.
But then I saw one – it was like, this blush pink, little number with a cute bow that I just about died from. It’s like, the definition of “aesthetic,” you know? And supposedly, the shipping on Farfetch is pretty fast? (Under 7 days? Okay, you have my attention).
And then there’s the craftsmanship thing. The descriptions always go on about how they are made of pure unicorn tears or something. I mean, I do love a good, well-made product. But is it REALLY going to last me like, twenty years? Or is it just going to be another trendy thing that I get tired of after six months and then stick in the back of my closet with all the other things that looked so good on Instagram?
Honestly, I’m torn. My brain says, “Girl, save your money!” But my heart (and my closet which is always yearning for more things) is like, “Treat yourself, you deserve it!”
Maybe I’ll just window shop for now…or maybe I’ll click “add to cart.” I dunno, this whole wallet thing is more complicated than I thought. Who knew a little piece of leather could cause such an existential crisis?
