Rather than clothes and accessories that are meant to conjure a air of immediacy and reflect the dynamism of your self-expression, what you use to carry them from door to door, flight to flight would require a sense of steadiness — something you can rely on, never be sick of and fall in love with it even more with every use. The Prada Duffel Bag is not about doing too much, but doing just enough.
First impression through the eyes, then followed by the first interaction with the hands — soft, supple and tactile is the deerskin-effect calf leather. The irregularity in its grain imbues each piece with a unique flair, crafted to wear nicely with time. Do not let the clean lines and a starkly minimal silhouette suggest a sterile personality. Functioning as a spacious, trusty vessel for the endless escapades ahead, its double handles, central zip and adjustable shoulder straps all work in harmony to create a user experience that keeps your mind on the road.
Where personal belongings are kept safe, the slight slouch in this structured duffle evokes a Summery flair, the ease of getting ready for a vacation. Just throw in a few tank tops, your favourite board shorts, sunscreen, sunglasses and go. Trust the purveyors of travel accessories like Prada to create a duffle bag that feels sturdy, yet relaxed at the same time.
Already spotted on the likes of Kai from EXO, the Prada Duffel Bag possesses a timeless charm that invites you to reach for it again and again — appropriate for the weekend golf tournament, short business trips or your next workout class. More than just the emblematic Prada triangle, what makes the bag unmistakably Prada comes down to its immaculate craftsmanship. Just as legendary industrial designer Dieter Rams once put it, “good design is as little design as possible.”
