Miu Miu’s chic L’été à la plage (French for ‘summer by the beach’) capsule is back. And with it comes the ultimate warm-weather tote, the Leather Basket. A nostalgia-evoking style from the Italian house’s 2009 archives, the open-weave style is a fun way to show off what’s in your bag.
Crafted in buttery-soft nappa leather, the open-top silhouette makes it easy to stash and retrieve all your summer essentials. The accompanying leather pouch further prevents smaller bits and bobs from slipping through the gaps. A pair of top handles, signature Miu Miu logo and a removable leather tag stamped ‘Archived 2009’ complete the design.
The Leather Basket comes in two sizes. The smaller of the two measures 24 cm by 12.5 cm by 9 cm and is perfect for daytime essentials. For added versatility, it also includes a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap. Retailing at SGD4600, this comes in three colour options: Chalk White, Cognac and Lemon Yellow.
The next size up comes in at 40 cm by 21 cm by 15.5 cm. Great for days when you need to pack a little more, this tote can even hold a beach towel and weekend read, alongside the must-haves. Priced at SGD5500, this is available in two colours: Chalk White and Cognac.
Whether you’re jetting off to the coast or staying city-side, the Leather Basket is a fun and practical choice that lets you soak up the sun in signature Miu Miu style.
