Since the beginning of time, women have lugged around hefty handbags resulting in carpal tunnel and the dreaded “numbing of the arm,” but thanks to Miu Miu Gifts Collection 2011, handbags from the haute couture label get a miniature makeover.
Releasing replica versions of its coveted handbag collection, Miu Miu encourages you to do away with big, bulky hangbags by offering something a little more petite. The replicas are only 6 inches and are meant for accessorizing rather than wearing. Some of the label's most iconic styles are made in to exact replicas, including designs made with only the finest mink, osterich and crocodile money can buy. Available in a variety of bright colors and bold prints, this collection is a must-have for all fashionistas.
The countdown is on as these collectibles will be ready for release by the end of November 2011. Be on the lookout ladies -- my girl will, which means I’ll surely be out a couple hundred bucks.
