Add this to my endless list of must-have Miu Miu purses! The Embellished Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag is far more than just a glossy companion for a night out. The wee silhouette and buttery soft leather unite to create a gorgeous statement piece that truly defines “arm candy.” The opulent strap is what really sets the bag apart; it’s beautifully adorned with crystals for a look worthy of a pageant contestant. Available for $995 at Net-a-Porter.

Once again, Miu Miu manages to make a bag splashed with stars look unique and surprisingly mature. The label’s Star-Print Watersnake Clutch is a good-time gal’s bag, but it also boasts a certain sophistication thanks to its striking artistic appearance and exotic material. Even the gold clasp (which contrasts with the grayish-silver snakeskin) doesn’t look completely out of place. Available for $1250 at Net-a-Porter.

If you love the look of the classic Miu Miu Matelasse design but favor something lighter and less bulky, the Luxe Leather Clutch is a great choice. It shares the same notably soft texture and exudes class with its soft gold color and slight sheen. Topped with a plate of gilded hardware, it’s a minimal yet luxurious bag that works well at any time of day. Available for $1150 at Net-a-Porter.

Oh, how I absolutely adore this Miu Miu Wristlet Leather Clutch. Made of the most buttery soft leather ever (or at least in recent memory), it’s a petite but perfect companion for your everyday excursions. The cool thing is that it’s quite polished and glamorous, but doesn’t feel overwhelmingly dressy in its presentation. The strong purple color and strong gold-tone clasp are all it needs to stand out. Available for $539 at MyTheresa.

Sometimes it’s the smallest detail that ultimately makes the bag. On this Miu Miu Mini Matelasse Leather Clutch, the star of the show is the unique kisslock closure. It’s artistic, and though the reddish-brown tone doesn’t quite go with the hot pink bag itself, the end result is pretty appealing. Miu Miu has a tendency to really get it right! Available for $1150 at Net-a-Porter.

Never let it be said that a bow can’t be understated. While Miu Miu doesn’t exactly claim its Ruched Leather Clutch is “bow-decked,” I see that the gathered leather takes on a distinctly bow-like appearance. It’s rather subtle, though, and combined with a soft mint hue it looks quietly feminine instead of over-the-top girly. Find it for $750 at Net-a-Porter.

Even though it took me a second (okay, more than that) to find the actual bow on this Miu Miu Bow-Embellished Leather Tote, I’m still completely smitten by the bag. It never fails, really – new season, new Miu Miu bag to covet. Though a flash of light, pearlized pink doesn’t exactly scream “winter,” it’s not really inappropriate for the season either. In fact, it provides great contrast to a woolen gray or black coat and offers plenty of room, to boot. It’d be especially good for a little weekend excursion. Find it for $1495 at Net-a-Porter.

Practical, meet pink. Pink, practical. The two join forces on this Miu Miu Grained Leather Tote, a very basic, everyday-appropriate carryall that unites the simplicity of an effortless shape with a strong jolt of color. That’s all it needs to become far more stylish, interesting and feminine than it would be otherwise. It’s quite spacious, too, so it’s genuinely great to carry during the work day. Available for $1295 at Net-a-Porter.
