With canvas bags making a comeback, this structured wedge shaped Miu Miu canvas and leather trimmed tote is the cream of the crop. Canvas conjures up images of faded, slouchy, rope embellished beach totes slung carelessly over the shoulder. However, with its crisp canvas body and leather panelling, this gorgeous and current offering from Miu Miu is sleek and well-formed. Current collections and designers such as Mui Mui, Fendi and Anya Hindmarsh have turned our ideas about canvas on their head, creating canvas handbags suitable for office, gym and every day wear.
What are they made of?
These unique canvas tote bags are made up of canvas, leather and gold hardware. Canvas can be made out of strong natural fibre such as cotton, hemp, linen or jute, as long as it is woven tightly together to form the highly durable textile that we know to be canvas. These Miu Miu leather trimmed canvas totes contain 45% cotton and 49% linen within their hardwearing canvas exterior. The leather panelling and trim is a mixture of calf and goat leather and the interior is fully lined in a luxe satin lining.
How big are they?
The blue and black leather trimmed handbags measure 30cm x 34cm x 16cm, which is a great size tote. The white coloured leather is slightly smaller but still has room enough to fit all your day to day necessities. The body of the bag is deep and the wedge shape allows you more room than you think!
What colours are available?
This family of leather and canvas totes are available in three varying colours. The main constitution of the handbags is the lovely natural light coloured canvas with either a contrasting shock of cobalt blue leather, sophisticated black leather or summer white leather, which runs up the sides of the handbag and follows through onto the handles and zip detail. The cream canvas against the black leather carries on the recent monochrome handbag trend and whilst the white version is perfect for those hot sunny days, the cobalt blue is just downright fun!
Style tips
Although these bags are canvas based they are certainly stylish and structured enough to take to the office, and whilst the sleek shape and look of the bag will pair perfectly with your more relaxed summer office tailoring, the durability of the canvas body will ensure longevity for use on a day to day basis. These Miu Miu leather trimmed totes were made to wear with a smart casual ensemble! So Eco Glamazon, Big Bag Lovers and Confident Classique, throw on your dark skinnies, ballet pumps and celebrity style sunglasses and pay homage to the bag itself by pairing it with a cool linen blazer.
