Miu Miu F/W 06 bags - Coffer et al

[ChrissyM]

at first i preferred the brown suede but the black leather is really starting to win me over... seems more practical too...

i haven't seen either of them in person yet so i'm kind of making the decision on pics alone at this point...

thanks for the opinions so far girls
every little bit helps...

black, black, black....

 

[Chloe-Babe]

suede vote here! It just seems to suit the ruching so much better than the leather

suede, suede suede

 

[igotgoodjeans]

just saw both at barneys over the weekend - i also vote for black.

 

[Cicciolina]

I vote for the brown suede. The coffer just looks so much better in brown than the black for some reason.

Has the price of a coffer dropped yet?

 

[Mrie]

hey can someone help me? Is this real? What color is the inner lining supposed to be?

 

[Cicciolina]

Hmmm I'm not sure. I have the brown version of that bag, and for a reason I can't quite put my finger on it doesn't look right to me, but maybe I'll need to see more pictures.

My lining is brown cotton. Is that a swing tag on the right hand side? I don't think Miu Miu swing tags look like that at all :S

giving this a little bump

I'm trying to decide between the brown suede and the black leather coffer so I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible..

Which do you guys think I should get/which do you think is better?

I am for black. The suede one reminds me of backpacks my grandfather used for going into the forrest or to the hills/mountains. I am not joking - it is practically the same.

[fashion_victim_Q]

I've got a brown one.
Actually, in my dark-side I voted for cream but it is too easy to get dirty....

I feel like i'm spamming the handbag forum but i'm going to ask again:

Do you think the coffer is a classic or would you go for a fendi spy?

Is the coffer heavy at all? Do those of you who have it use it as a messenger-style bag more?

 

[ChrissyM]

Mrie please post the source of the image you posted so it won't have to be deleted... thanks

justlooking i think the coffer probably weighs about the same as a spy--I've been using my coffer more as a messenger style bag but it's easy to carry over the shoulder or on your arm too--it's sort of versatile in that way

 

[justlooking]

thanks ChrissyM

 

[Guessgirl96]

justlooking, I think the coffer weighs just a tiny bit more than the spy b/c of the hardware but it's really a pretty light bag still. I wear mine messenger most. I like this bag a lot but if you dont have any spies I'd go for a spy, esp. in that pretty blue/purple color.

 

[Cicciolina]

Mrie sorry I don't have any pics on my computer right now, but I bought it off Netaporter so I've got the pic from there:

sorry! i forgot! pic source from Yahoo Japan Auctions.

woooo! the brown one looks nice too.. this must be the large size eh? There is a one in a medium size right?

 

[lost.fashion]

i travel a lot for work, and was wondering which place would be the best to make a miu miu bag purchase? or would it be better just to go through NAP?

 

[Velony]

Can anyone help me out? I'd really like a black coffer but looking on ebay the prices are so low that they let me think they are all fake. And I would really like an authentic one. I already asked at tpf but nobody seems to know Miu Miu quite well so I thought I'd ask here.
Can you tell if this one is authentic? I already asked the seller and she guarantees authenticity although that usually doesn't mean anything. She already send me close up pics of the leather and inside of the bag but they are a bit too large to post them here. The leather looks good though. TIA.
