For Prada spring 2017, brand matriarch Miuccia Prada stated that she wished to de-intellectualize her typical style process in favor of discovering some sophistication in the right here as well as now. The results were wearable pieces with luxe details like marabou as well as exotic leathers, in addition to two new bag styles: a chain-strap flap bag as well as a duffel-style satchel.

The a lot of significant details of both pieces were the broad, flat strips of leather they sported as accents. The flap bags utilized them as part of the closure, while the duffels featured them at either gusset, as well as while I like both new designs, I want to check out the flap bag in specific in person. The strips of leather are rather long, as well as it’s not remove from exactly how the designs brought the bags on the runway (literally kept close to their vests) exactly how they’re incorporated into the bag’s structure.

If the longer strip is removable or if the bag was shown half-open as well as it somehow tucks into the closure in a method that’s not remove from the photos, then it seems likely the bag will be prominent among shoppers. If not, its charm is may be a lot more limited, which might be Prada’s intent in the very first place: to produce something special as well as seasonal. Either way, both styles felt like fascinating expansions of the brand’s accessories aesthetic. inspect out all the pictures below.
