Need It Now: Miu Miu Special-Edition Python Bags


A sigh of admiration swept the Vogue offices this morning as we unpacked Miu Miu’s newest python handbag—and then another sigh as we realized that only a few—a very, very few—will be lucky enough to nab one. As part of a special ultra-capsule collection available worldwide, Miu Miu has released just four unique python bags that embody the classic shape and style of the house. With an adjustable cross-body strap and the signature Miu Miu silver push-lock clasp, each one is hand-painted with Fuxia (pink), Azzuro (blue), Giada (light green) or Corallo (coral/peach) accents. The perfect size to fit the essentials, and playful enough to be quintessentially Miu Miu, this spirited bag is a must-have for everyone, but a score for only a fortunate four. And where to find them? Currently all four of the exclusive and elusive bags are in New York, with Las Vegas next on their travel itinerary. Track them down at select Miu Miu boutiques, retailing for $2,650; 212.641.2980.
