I featured Miu Miu's leather Coffer Bag a few weeks back in Gotta Love a List, you can probably take from its second mention that I really, really like it. But, not all of us can afford designer price tags, so.... what to do?
Find a cheaper alternative.
And I do mean cheaper, and not cheap. The word 'cheap' has negative connotations, and I don't want you thinking I'm sending you off to the land of polyester and vinyl. No way. I'm introducing you to one of my favourite New York High St designers, Steve Madden. A native of the Big Apple, Madden is the founder and former CEO of Steve Madden Ltd, specialising in fashionable women's shoes, and later branching out into clothing and accessories, like gorgeous handbags. I say, former CEO because he was made to resign in 2002 after being convicted of stock manipulation, security fraud and money laundering - oops! Naughty boy.
He does design lovely shoes and bags though... for which all girls must be thankful. And... as well as stores throughout the United States, and internationally (including Australia, but sadly for the Intern, absent from the United Kingdom), all his stunning designs can be purchased online at stevemadden.com.
Case in point:
