Is it just me or is a trend developing here? First the Proenza Schouler PS1, then the Mulberry Alexa–and now Miu Miu’s Nappa Clocquet? This handheld bag style with the detachable shoulder strap and two front buckles seems coincidentally popular this spring season. For what it’s worth, though, it is an ingenious style. Miu Miu’s version, with its braided leather handle and ruching effect across the front and back, is quite chic in a subtle way. Rachel McAdams was recently spotted carrying the pale blue version and I do love how pretty that color is in person. If you look at it from afar, the bag almost looks crocheted! I love any form of cornflower blue (the wheat color, I’m not so sure about) so it had me at first glance. The luggage strap side buckles are thin enough to not be too in-your-face but still serve their purpose–although how often you’ll actually buckle and unbuckle the straps remains to be seen.
