A hallmark of Miu Miu’s accessory line is the use of the matelassé technique by quilting soft napa leather to create a three-dimensional texture. 

Accessories crafted of matelassé leather started appearing on the runway throughout the early 2000s, but peaked in popularity during the 2010s. It is then that Miu Miu coined this technique as a signature.

The recent years have seen the resurfacing of numerous matelassé leather bag designs. From the Coffer Bag to the Wander Bag, Miu Miu has managed to create a coveted look for their accessories, reinforcing this technique’s iconic status.
