Purple & Tan Leather Flower Mini Tote

Designed in the 1990s during Miuccia Prada’s stewardship of Miu Miu, this purple and tan leather mini tote reflects the house’s early exploration of playful minimalism—clean geometry punctuated by whimsical appliqué and a youthful approach to proportion. The contrasting panels and stylized flower motifs capture a moment when Miu Miu was defining its identity through experimentation, infusing classic leatherwork with subtle irony and graphic clarity. Carried by hand or over the shoulder, the piece adds an intelligent, artful note to everyday dressing, blending utility with a thoughtfully offbeat charm characteristic of the brand’s formative years.
