Those killing for a tie-dye Miu Miu tote may have missed the boat -
We saw the last of them on sale at Selfridge's last month in London, and although girls are still swinging them around New York, we haven't seen them sold in any shops for a while.
But if you love the dyed suede that Miu Miu created, you might also enjoy an alternative:
The slightly more preppy tote from Longchamp. which is handbag-sized and also made of suede with bleeding colors.
We love that the French house took such a risk with their fabric and color, and although the idea was clearly grafted from Miu Miu's Spring accessories, we'll still embrace it.
Mostly because we couldn't get the Miu Miu, and we're still sort of stuck on it...

I really hope this isn't Longchamp's new design direction -- knocking off the most recognisable Prada pieces each season!
I LOVE Longchamp bags (have 4 so far)... but part of what I love about them is their aggressive non-trendiness. I know it doesn't get them much magazine coverage, but there's something to be said for beautiful, classic bags that don't go out of style in 3 weeks.
If they're going trendy, they'd better get a lot cheaper. No way would I spend that much on a bag that's already out by the time it hits the stores ;)
