My DH has offered to buy me a purse for my birthday. We'll be in Miami, so there's a Miu Miu store. I buy most of my purses at the outlets, so most of my Miu Miu's are older styles. We're not rich, but we're quite comfortable, white collar professionals...so I'm thinking I won't go over the $1300 range (DH would probably be willing to do more, but I wouldn't let him). Any suggestions?

Bow bag! :) it's a classic and think it is 1295 right now :)
where do u live? if you get it ship home, you will save the Tax :)

Yes, the Bow bag is quite nice...and so is the Nappa Charm...which I think is 1350 USD...I recommend Bahareh from the Bal Harbour boutique but also the manager knows a lot about styles too...

Doesn't the Bow bag have cracking issues?

kiki119 · Sep 10th, 2009, 05:39 PM

Only season 1, my season 2 holds up great

anne1218 · Sep 10th, 2009, 11:40 PM

coffer...so classic

I'd second the Bow and the Coffer, depends if you prefer satchel type bags or shoulderbags!

I have a lot of both. I'm not loyal to a particular brand (although I am especially fond of Miu Miu), so they range from Dior to Coach. I just buy what I like.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to check them out in person.
