Miu Miu wallets feature rich, high-quality Italian leather and brass or gold hardware. Every wallet also provides a built-in organizational system so you can easily find credit cards, cash, checks, and change. Miu Miu produces several different styles of wallets, each with its own design aesthetic. By familiarizing yourself with the various styles, you can select the best wallet for you.
 
Madras
 
Wallets in the Miu Miu madras series are crafted from plush madras goat leather. These wallets feature gold hardware and a choice between an envelope-style with a two-snap enclosure, or a zip around design that safely secures your cards, cash and documents. You can select from bubblegum pink, hot pink, or black.
 
Lux Croco Print
 
Lux croco print Miu Miu wallets showcase elegant textured patterns. This collection features different sizes and styles all crafted from craquelé croco-print calf leather. These accessories include zipper, clasp or snap button enclosures and gold and metal hardware. Colors used in this collection include camel, light blue, graphite grey, light pink, dark pink, and azalea red. Whether you choose a medium-sized, caramel-colored wallet with a gold snap enclosure, or a simple mauve credit card holder with gold and metal trim, you can’t go wrong with the lux croco print collection.
 
Matelassé Lux
 
Items in the matelassé lux collection are fashioned from matelassé shiny calf leather. This collection features a large variety of bright colors and classic styles. One of the highlights of the collection is a rosewood-color wallet that incorporates a leather-loop closure attached to a polished-brass lock. Other styles provide zipper enclosures, snaps, and buttons matched with squared-off or rounded edges. Depending on the style you select you can choose from an assortment of colors including white, black, hot pink, soft pink, bright blue, brown, and cream. 
 
Patent Bow
 
The patent bow collection offers shiny patent leather wallets with a matching bow. The bow is a simple, squared-off loop, and not frilly or fancy. Variations include an envelope snap-style or zipper enclosure and a choice between dark pink, light pink or black leather.
 
Other Designs
 
Other notable designs include the cloquet nappa, two-tone calf, and pony and leopard print wallets. Cloquet nappa wallets focus on soft, simple colors, and display a bold, intricate design. Two-tone calf wallets feature calf-leather with a soft sheen and no-frills design. The pony and leopard wallet is the wildest Miu Miu wallet currently available. The bold design is offset with plain bronze hardware, and two-sided zipper closure.  
 
Purchasing
 
Miu Miu also sells handbags and purses that coordinate with almost every wallet they manufacture, so consider buying a matching set. You can purchase Miu Miu accessories from high-end department stores including Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. They’re also available through Miu Miu’s online store. Avoid purchasing Miu Miu items from unknown resellers with questionable authenticity, or you could wind up with an expensive fake. Miu Miu wallets are priced between $400, and $550, but they’re crafted to last. Just make sure to select a classic style and color that you’ll love for several years.
