Prada launches a trusty new sidekick for your daily adventures. A chic companion for spontaneous escapades, it comes all wrapped up in that undeniable Prada panache. Potentially your next obsession, this Re-Nylon and leather tote bag arrives in a beautiful shade of brown, which Prada calls Brandy.
Right off the bat, the use of a contrasting mix of materials is evident in the industrial-chic metallic handles. This unexpected element instantly elevates the bag beyond a simple nylon tote. The feel of metal in your hand makes it a sensorial experience that also grounds the bag in utilitarian cool. A pair of detachable leather straps also let you sling it over the shoulder.
Prada introduced Re-Nylon in 2019, committing to this material regenerated from reclaiming ocean plastic, fishing nets and textile waste. It’s lightweight and durable, making it a practical choice for everyday totes while bringing a sustainable approach to design. Predominantly crafted in Re-Nylon, this latest tote is also complemented by leather trims in the same tonal shade.
Besides the sleek metallic handles and innovative re-nylon, the bag’s overall shape is quintessentially Prada. It speaks of clean lines, a sleek boxy shape and that unmistakable enamelled metal triangle logo. Another notable feature is the removable leather mirror case that doubles as a chic leather bag charm.
Retailing at SGD4100, the new tote bag in Brandy is currently part of Prada’s summer bags line-up, though you can count on it being a daily carryall beyond any specific season.
