Miu Miu has never treated accessories as an afterthought. A collaboration with Marshall, the British amplifier maker built on rock-and-roll heritage, fits that philosophy perfectly. The Marshall x Miu Miu collaboration gives everyday gadgets the luxury treatment. Instead of standard tech cases, think calfskin leather with gold logo lettering and all.

The centrepiece is a compact Bluetooth speaker based on Marshall’s Willen II. Specs like 17 hours of playtime and IP67 water and dust resistance back up its portability credentials. The real draw, though, is the calfskin leather case. It features a double-zip closure and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap, thus turning the speaker into a crossbody accessory. Priced at SGD1470 as a set, the two pieces also work independently. The 11 cm by 10.5 cm case even doubles as a teeny-tiny everyday bag.
Next up are the Marshall x Miu Miu earphones, also with a leather case. The earphones follow Marshall’s Mode USB-C model in the classic in-ear format. The USB-C connection suits phones and laptops that have dropped the headphone jack, while an integrated microphone and remote support voice commands. Retailing at SGD1020, each pair comes in another calfskin zip-closure case. This one is about 8 cm tall and 4 cm deep, finished with the same gold Miu Miu lettering.
For the style-conscious listener, the appeal goes beyond sound. The earphone case tucks neatly into a micro-bag or clips around the handles of a larger tote like a charm.
