Before Miuccia Prada took over the fashion house in the late 1970s, Prada had not been much different from other luxury brands with their products, solely offering a range of luxury leather goods. Miuccia decided to experiment with different materials in order to give Prada a fresh look (Leather had been the most used material by fashion houses at the time). In 1979, Miuccia introduced the first range of bags constructed from a heavy duty nylon material, which had been labelled as an ‘anti-luxury’ material. These ‘anti-luxury’ luxury bags instantly became a hit. Prada later expanded into clothing in the 90s, continuing the use of Nylon in their designs, and have never looked back.
This piece from the 2010ss is a unique cross-body messenger bag. It features a main compartment with an interior pocket that conceals Prada branding. There are 3 cargo style compartments on the exterior for valuables. Rounded off with signature Prada branding on the front of the bag.
Great condition with no flaws and minimal signs of use.
