About Miu Miu
Miu Miu was launched in 1993 by Miuccia Prada and takes its name from her childhood nickname. It is part of the Prada Group and is known for a younger, more playful take on Italian leather goods.
Many of its bags are made in matelassé nappa, a soft leather quilted into a padded pattern. Soft leather shows wear differently from structured leather, so look at the corners, the handles and the hardware. Each listing states the condition grade and what comes with the piece.

Buying guide
What To Look At
General points worth checking on any Miu Miu piece. Each listing adds the specifics: condition grade, what is included and any flaws.
01
Matelassé nappa is soft to carry but marks more easily than grained leather; look for scuffs on the corners and base.
02
Check the metal lettering and hardware for scratches and loose fittings.
03
Sizes are usually named rather than numbered; compare the listed dimensions with how you plan to carry the bag.

How does Luxury Club authenticate Miu Miu pieces?

Nothing is approved from photographs alone, and every sale includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting what was verified on that specific piece.
