I’m not saying ditch the brand entirely. I mean, the quality’s still there, presumably. And, let’s be real, we’re not all about screaming “I paid a fortune!” anymore. Subtlety is the new…well, it’s been the new for, like, a while now. But still.
Think about it. You’ve got that luscious Nappa leather, maybe even in the Wander style – that hobo bag shape is pretty darn cute, even if it *does* look a little like my grandma’s old purse, but in a good way, ya know? – and it’s just…clean. Unadulterated leather goodness. No “MIU MIU” plastered all over it.
It’s almost…dare I say…*mysterious*. People would be all, “Ooh, what *is* that bag?” And you could just shrug and be all nonchalant. “Oh, this old thing? I just, like, found it in a vintage shop.” (Okay, maybe not. Lying is bad. Mostly.) But you get the idea! It’s about the *knowing*, not the *showing*.
And honestly, sometimes those logos can be kinda…tacky? Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a good logo. But when it’s the *only* thing people see, it’s just…meh. Give me texture, give me shape, give me color-blocking (that crochet tote bag sounds AMAZING, btw. I gotta look that up on ZALORA. Is that even legit, ZALORA? Anyone know? #AskingForTheInternet).
I guess what I’m saying is, a logo-free MIU MIU bag, if such a thing exists in the wild (maybe it’s a unicorn?), would be the ultimate flex. It says, “I appreciate quality, I have impeccable taste, and I don’t need to shout about it.”
