Miu Miu Pleated Leather Satchel: Love It or Hate It?

Miu Miu has a slew of new handbags for Fall and this Miu Miu Pleated Leather Satchel, $1,590, is one of them.

Miu Miu has a slew of new handbags for Fall and this Miu Miu Pleated Leather Satchel, $1,590, is one of them. I am undecided about whether or not I dig the pleats-on-a-purse look.

Channel your ex-raver self (guilty!), dormant party girl, or closet glam rocker, and dance the night away in these acid brights.
