The Miranda is a purse designed by artist, director and writer Miranda July that not only makes you look great, but also equips you with everything you could need in life. The [limited edition red leather bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-croissant-bag) is part of a collaboration between Miranda July and Welcome Companion and is ideal for [neurotic and quirky personalities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-x-milano-handbag).

While the outside of The Miranda is classic, chic and compact, the inside is full of wonderful oddities. This includes compartments for one emergency low blood sugar-combating almond, a super top secret projects flash drive, a tiny nightie, Calm SR homeopathic pills and several unique cards. These cards will be useful in a number of situations, from a believable business card for Albert Einstein to a reminder to use lots of lubricant.
