Prada’s Miu Miu line, the creation of fashion designer Miuccia Prada is a sassier, less concerned with convention style that has propelled the company into the stratosphere. Since the brand’s launch in 1993, Miu Miu handbags have been photographed on the arms of countless celebrities including Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, and Lindsay Lohan.

The beautiful buttery leather, signature bold padlock-style clasps, and roomy design are recognizable signatures of the line as are the quirky twists that Miuccia adds. Design details such as exquisite ruching, plaited and wooden handles, and off beat colors have all made an appearance on a Miu Miu handbag.

The marketing campaigns launched to announce each season’s line have famously featured some of the most beautiful and stylish women of the hour. The 1995 campaign featuring Drew Barrymore introduced an edgy shiny red lunchbox-style handbag, whereas the recently released 2009 campaign has Katie Holmes unveiling several different Miu Miu handbags.

The most interesting and playful is the red snakeskin and polka dots shoulder bag. Another of the handbags paired with Mrs. Cruise may turn out to be the “bag to have” this season. The oversized, rich brown leather woven tote is exceptionally attractive and looks to be the handbag to grab for most day-to-day activities.

Miu Miu handbags are a varied group with some stellar performers over the years. Whether you want a fashion forward nubby ostrich leather tote, and updated red and black patent leather wristlet or simply something stylish in which to carry your latest shopping coup, Miuccia Prada has thought of it and created something memorable.
