Granted, the mention of ‘it bags’ may bring you back to the noughties – a time when an item only had to be spotted on Mary-Kate and Ashley to make it a stellar success. But in today’s world, when there are a seemingly limitless number of brilliant bag designs to snap up, it takes something extra special to receive ‘it’ status. And the Miu Miu Aventure bag has exactly that. A chic, classic yet modern design? Check. A whole host of fashionable fans? Check. And is it large enough to cram full of our crap? Absolutely. Meaning each and every one of those loose bits of gum, dry pens, and never-to-be-found hairbands can be carried into the new year with ease. At this point, they serve as some sort of emotional support system, after all.
Yet it’s much more than simply the size that makes the Aventure bag the top accessory of the moment. Recovered from the Miu Miu archives, it offers a vintage-like feel with a fresh twist that makes it incredibly hard to date. Just one scroll on Instagram will show some of the most stylish set gravitating towards the sleek conker brown shade (although black is also available), accessorising the signature belt detail with bag charms or leaving it almost empty to give that super slouchy laidback look. You know, the same one that comes from a gently battered Birkin, yet this way, there’s no need to destroy your designer wares.
You’ll also spot the smaller versions of the Aventure bag across plenty of chic street style snaps – small, micro, and mini sizes are also available – although the capacious shape feels much more practical. And we’re sure to be seeing much more of it in 2025. Nabbing one before Christmas, however, will be quite the challenge. Good luck.Shop: The Miu Miu Aventure Bag
