Prada’s Spring 23 is a collection that explores the dichotomy between life and visions, allowing the delicate and sensual to coexist with creative freedom. Prada Spring 23 is a new vision of bags that uses pressed and wrinkled leather to reinterpret the classic Prada shapes.
Handmade Wrinkle Effect
These bags have a more casual, worn-in look compared to the Cleo bag that has been a recent hit. The antique nappa is pressed, wrinkling it to add dimension.
Prada’s Small Antique Nappa Tote was designed for everyday use. It is a lightweight and easy bag, which fits easily over your shoulder. This bag has a sense of ease and simplicity, like a hug that asks you carry it.
Nappa leather handles are long enough to allow the bag to be carried over the shoulder. However, because it is lightweight, the bag can also be carried by hand. Prada’s exterior is finished with an enameled metal triangular logo. The interior features nappa and two zippered pockets. Prada offers this bag not only in black, but also in slate gray, sage, and desert beige. The overall dimensions of the bag are 13′ by 3.3 inches by 12′. Shop via Prada for $3,950.
Prada Antique Top Handle bag is a great option for those who want a more defined form that’s also part of Re-Edition 2001. The bag is compact, but the interior has a large opening zip and can fit a lot. Exterior is made of the same natural-finish nappa leather, with a glossy finish. Also included is a 2001 enameled keyring that can be removed. The strap has a zipper pouch that can be removed, allowing the bag to be customized.
This bag is a great example of a bag that looks rigid but has a soft exterior. The leather retains its shape and gives with ease. This bag can be carried in several ways. It has double top handles and a leather adjustable shoulder strap. You can also carry it crossbody, if you wish to extend the strap.
Two pockets are included in the interior (one of which has a zipper). The overall dimensions are 6” by 2.8′” by 9.5′”. The color options for this silhouette are the same, but I’d choose alabaster. The right amount of femininity, yet it’s very neutral. Shop via Prada for $4,500.
The Finishing Touch
The clothing mimics the minimal reality in which the bags exist, and feels simple yet elegant. Prada’s Spring 2023 collection is rounded out by shoes with classic style and classic volume, as well as raw edges. The collection aims to reflect our ever-changing lives.
