Thanks to Miu Miu, a bag once so utilitarian it could barely pass for stylish has now graduated to stand-out-from-the-pack status. The new Quilted Suede Messenger Bag is chic and subtly glamorous. I love its slightly slouchy shape, which makes it look much more like an everyday carryall than merely a functional type of bag. It’s also an emblem of perfect craftsmanship and design - from the fall-appropriate aubergine hue to the intricate stitching, it’s a gorgeous piece that will easily see you the upcoming season and into winter. Available for $695 (a relative bargain, all things considered) at Net-a-Porter.
