For decades, Prada Nylon has been a go-to for handbag lovers, and for good reason. Its ubiquity transcends style, combining form and function—each silhouette is thoughtfully crafted with Prada’s distinct DNA in mind.
Prada Nylon will always be iconic, and in the last decade, it’s proven once again to be a mainstay. The House continues to further its commitment to circularity and innovation with the conversion of all nylon products to Re-Nylon. Re-Nylon is a material crafted entirely from regenerated nylon, which utilizes recycled and purified plastic pulled from oceans and landfills, such as fishing nets and textile fiber waste from all over the world.
Meet the Explore: Prada’s Bag for Every Journey
This season, Prada introduces the Explore bag, a true testament to why everyone needs a Prada handbag in their rotation.
The Explore bag offers all the design elements intrinsic to Prada that we know and love, reinterpreting versatile silhouettes through a modern lens. It’s the ultimate bag for the girl on the move—refined and stylish, while functional and utilitarian. Distinctly Prada, but uniquely yours, encouraging an exploration of style.
The Explore bag, with its sporty yet chic vibe, suits my personal aesthetic. It is primed for every adventure—from long days running around the city to weekend or weeklong getaways in the country. Its many pockets offer plenty of room for storage and organization, making it an ideal daily companion.
From Re-Nylon to Suede and Leather—Choose Your Adventure
While the Re-Nylon iterations speak to me the most, the Explore bag also arrives in soft suede and supple nappa leather. These leathers are incredibly soft with just the right amount of slouch, offering an elevated, yet lived-in appeal that suits the adventurist vibe of the entire Explore family.
Softly padded with a touch of structure, the Explore bag is fitted with external pockets that are more than just a stylistic touch but a well-designed element of practicality. Inside, you’ll find a roomy interior fitted with more compartments primed for organization.
Defined by its functional appeal, the Explore line introduces a variety of shapes. From the classic Prada messenger bag and chic hobo to a backpack and more, each design, regardless of fabrication, is finished with gold-toned metal buckles and fitted with dual straps for multiple ways of carrying.
A City-to-Getaway Essential
We took the Explore bag on an adventure of our own, pairing it with pieces from Prada’s Fall 2025 collection. The collection encourages exploration of self-identity and personal style. Garments are not what they seem, but are somehow just right.
Cotton separates reinvent the classic pajama, juxtaposed by strong yet unique silhouettes that redefine the Prada uniform as we know it. In true Prada fashion, individuality is encouraged, and whatever suits your style, Prada has you covered.

Take out the Prada triangle logo and these look like cheap bags from TJMAXX.
OMG same exact thought I had.
Add a Monkey keychains and voila.. kipling.
In all fairness, isn’t that most designer bags? When I am making a purchase, I sometimes close one eye and think “without this logo, would I still want this bag?”
Asking the buyer to pay that price for the tiny triangle.
Dunno why, but seeing nylon bags reminds me of Lesportsac or Kipling.
These photos are beyond stunning! Obsessed with that brown leather
I really like this bag!
Me as Nigel from The Devil Wears Prada “Be serious Prada, you’re not trying.”
😂😂😂 🧡
I’ve taken to buying Tory Burch nylon. STILL overpriced honestly but as much as I love the nostalgia, I can’t bring myself to pay these prices.
Oh, I like the backpack with the shoulder strap! I wanted to have it when it first came out but didn‘t have the heart to spend the big bucks…
This style is what made me love Prada all those years ago! The leather versions look really really nice!
Those metallic stilettos aren’t giving me the Prada vibe and that pajama top with a summer skirt is not grabbing me either. 🤔 But the bags are a nice throwback with a bit of an update.
The clothes don’t go with the explorer vibe.
Mikaya got 2 of these bags, gotta say the suede bag is very nice
What’s “Mikaya”?
