Miu Miu “Matelasse Leather Clutch”
Here we have an example of how shrinking big bags to a smaller size doesn’t always go the right way. Zoe was right when she said that the “smaller, younger twins” of popular bags often turn out to be even better looking and more desirable than the originals. The smaller versions are also almost always more affordable which also counts for something 
.
Anyway, back to Matelasse clutch.. Well… How do I say this delicately? Last time I saw a bag released in a smaller version was when Mahina XS was introduced. Not only I was disappointed at first, but I also cought myself really disliking it, in all the ways you can dislike a bag. It wasn’t one bit of what I expected it would be and, truth to be told, I couldn’t believe it. Zoe did a great job covering that bag so there no point in me repeting everything she has said - I agree with her and that’s it. As for this one… It isn’t really a younger twin of another Miu Miu, but the way it’s made and the details on it reveal the idea behind it. The idea was a rebirth of the original Miu Miu Matelasse Coffer Bag, but in a smaller size and for a different purpose - can you say bad idea? When you come out with something like the original Matelasse and make a splash with it, making people all around the world go crazy over it, and define a certain fashion era with it, you really need to stop right there and not try to reinvent it over and over again.
Those who didn’t originally like this collection won’t like it now either, no matter how much smaller, bigger or different in any way you make it. Those who did go crazy over it have already bought it and are happy with what they have. They have moved on a long time ago and won’t go back. As I said, the original was a boom, whether you like the way it looks or not, and no other bag will ever be able to fill its shoes.
As for this pochette - been there, done that. Signature clasp as a front detail, thin shoulder strap for carrying it and fuchsia fully lined interior, meh.
PRICE: $795.00 @ Net-a-Porter.com
