I have always had a thing for Miu Miu. Call it a crush or maybe something stronger. To this day I do not own a Miu Miu bag, but I always seem to find one that I like. As much as I want to like the Miu Miu Large Woven Leather Tote, I simply find it to be more of an odd pairing of imitations of other bags. The woven leather channels Bottega Veneta and the buckle at the top to adjust models a horrid Hermes knockoff. I am not attempting to say that Miu Miu is knocking off Bottega Veneta or Hermes, I am simply pointing out the similarities.

This bag just underwhelms me. It is lacking creativity and lacking a new touch. It is not that Bottega Veneta should be the only brand that weaves leather or that Hermes should be the only brand that places a buckle at the top of their bags, but they just do it better than this bag. I kept expecting more from Miu Miu, as time and time again it surpassed what I saw from Prada. But today, this tote is just meh. Buy through Net A Porter for $1,295.

I am not feeling the love. I have to agree that lacks creativity. It is a nice bag but there is no love!!

No love here, either. I think the only Miu Miu bag I liked is their Miu Miu Bow. But even if I had the funds for her, I would be freaked out since I've heard horror stories about it. And I agree. Prada is so much better! I've always had my heart set on Prada, never their so-called "cheaper alternative." Miu Miu never really impressed me.
