–SPECIAL– "miu miu" 00’s archival matelassé coffer bag

Conveying intelligence and playfulness at the same temperature, and subtly infusing a hint of danger within their charm, miu miu has built a unique sense of luxury. We are pleased to introduce an exquisite piece that symbolizes the brand's archive.

This item features luxurious soft calf leather, with a carefully shorn, three-dimensional quilted surface that adds a lively texture, bringing a singular elegance to your hand.

The first thing that captures the eye is the rich shading created by the gathers, which give the surface a voluminous quality, and the sensual texture of the leather that feels moist and clingy at the moment of touch. This distinguishes it from the orderly appearance of typical quilting, embodying the warmth of handcrafted work and artistic expression. Additionally, the thickly woven braided handle, crafted by artisans, overlaps with this, creating a perfect balance that combines feminine softness with the resilient will of craftsmanship, resulting in a beautiful harmony.

The front features a push-lock clasp reminiscent of a jewelry box with a key, and its substantial design makes the bag itself resemble jewelry, serving as the centerpiece of the outfit. It also elegantly manages daily actions like opening and closing. Furthermore, a metal logo is independently mounted in three dimensions on the exterior, and a metal plate secured with rivets at each corner inside the bag emphasizes the original, bold brand identity of the time, contrasting with the more subdued logo expressions seen in recent years. This clearly engraved mark supports the archive's overwhelming persuasiveness.

The bag's layered structure, with a back zip pocket and a front flap pocket, is characteristic of the coffer style. Beyond its visual impact, it also offers practicality by organizing daily essentials neatly. The perfect balance between a showy design and functional usability is the true reason why this model is remembered as a masterpiece.

The estimated period is from 2007 to around 2011. Supporting this, the design faithfully preserves the basic shape established in 2006, while featuring the then-mainstream independent metal logo and heavy interior plate. Unlike the recent reissues that appear lighter, each hardware piece's solid presence vividly tells of its original vintage status. Additionally, with the recent resurgence of the Y2K trend and the heightened demand for archives, an original piece in such excellent condition holds more than just a bag; it embodies the "context of the era," offering a rich atmosphere that current models cannot replicate, making it the greatest added value.

This is especially recommended for those who want to add profound depth beyond mere charm to their style, or for those who wish to quietly express their personal style through the contrast of soft leather and heavy hardware. Just holding it will sharpen the outline of daily life and elevate your mood.

In terms of styling, it can be paired with elegant coats or minimal jackets to enjoy a refined sense of tension, or used as a focal point with simple knits or slacks to highlight the bag's three-dimensionality, enhancing an intellectual, modern vibe. It also looks beautiful when paired with an elegant, flowing dress, subtly accentuating the shine of the hardware, creating a free-spirited elegance beyond gender or preconceptions. This piece truly completes a look of effortless sophistication.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
