The resurgence of classic designer bags that many thought were left in the past are at an all time high, and this isn’t a bad thing. Not only classic to the house, but also nostalgic for a different era, these bags are part of the new everyday modern twist on bags from long ago. Prada is known for its nylon bags (it’s what got me started in the designer handbag realm) and the new Prada nylon offerings meld every element of Prada that I first fell for.
Introducing the Prada Tessuto Chain Bag, a bag that while simple offers an immediately-known Prada-vibe. The gold chain shoulder strap and top-stitching on the edges are the stand out style features of this bag along with the iconic triangle logo on the front. Perfectly in tune with seasonal trends, this bag is offered in bright and bold colorways as well.
The Prada Tessuto Chain Bag is crafted from nylon, which makes the bag incredibly durable. But it’s not just the ease of cleaning that draws me to Prada Nylon bags (though that’s a major plus), there is something so simple and refreshing about nylon bags. The design and appearance is easy – and I mean that in a good way. I personally carry a Prada nylon bag daily and it still looks brand new after a year and a half of using it daily. If you are a designer handbag aficionado and want your bag to be both practical, durable and stylish, nylon is the way to go.
While not a work sized bag, this bag is a great size for daily use with dimensions of 5.1″H x 10.4″W x 3.5″D. The interior offers more space than I assumed, and since the bag is crafted from nylon, it provides more give so you can add more items inside. The interior has a zippered pocket and the outside of the bag closes with a flap closure and magnetic button.
Of course a black option is available and if you’re looking for an easy-to-wear bag addition, black is the right choice. However, I’m personally drawn to the three bright, eye-catching colors offered. Pink, yellow, and blue all in a radiant and bold, almost neon colorway make the Tessuto Chain Bag stand out. Each of the three colors is offset with a heavier white top-stitching that adds extra dimension to the bag.
Having an on-trend bag is one of the reasons I love designer handbags. Of course a collection should have simple staples (the black version of this bag fits that category), but loving and carrying handbags is also about making a statement. These bags are the epitome of statement bags. Though bold, the bag is also simple which allows for use for seasons and years to come.
Shop via Prada for $1,690.
Looks so cheap. And for $1690?
Agreed – looks so cheap and terribly made.
I agree
agree!
looks like a fake chanel…………….. PRADA WHAT IS GOING ON !!!!!!
Yikes, looks like something I’d by for my niece at Claire’s. And this post reads a lot more like a paid advertisement than anything else.
Yikes-
This bag is terrible.
The only people who will carry this will be people who Prada pay to do so.
I love a Prada nylon classic, but this isn’t it.

I love a Prada nylon classic, but this isn’t it.
I think it’s cute, but should be priced at $995 or less for a nylon bag. Def one to look out for on sale.
even $995 is ridiculous. it looks cheap.
I think $99 would be the right price for something that looks so…I don’t even know what to call it. Amateurishly made?
Would’ve loved to see the interior with your actual items in them. Not sure how I feel about the contrasting top stitch n the colored ones. It’s an extra element that is not needed. I like the black one better but would prefer it a silver tone or even a gunmetal chain strap.
I love Prada nylon bags too. I think I’d prefer this bag with a silver chain though, but I actually like it!
Hell no, not for that price. It looks like it should have a matching cheezy backpack.
For these to inevitably end up on the clearance rack at Last Call in less than a year, this is so not worth $1,600
i cant believe they closed the NM Outlet at Woodbury Commons
I quite like it actually, I would not describe ot as beautiful, and it is definitely not my usual style, but I quite like the “effortlessly cool” vibe it has, and the simplicity makes it quite easy to use. If it would have been ~$500-600 I would have considered buying it to use on rainy days.
Another snooze from Prada.
The puckering around those stiches is horrendous.
I miss when you covered the truly fashionable, the likes of Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, etc. Once upon a time these articles held measure in this community. Now; it’s nothing but performative insights. Maybe one day y’all will get back to your roots.
We never covered Anna Wintour or Grace Coddington much – there isn’t a ton to talk about with them and handbags (that we have access to).
What would you like to see us cover?
What ever happened to the weekly bag round up??
what’s in my bag for celebrities, bloggers and normal mortals and the Purseonals that you used to do. would love to see more bags that have staying power and ones that are less trendy and can be used in a variety of settings-10 best bags for professional women, travel, college, night out, diaper bags, professional women etc
Yes! On it all!!
professional MEN
I don’t like nylon bags so this doesn’t even tempt me to purchase. However, the photography is stunning especially the croissant and coffee (green tea?) IDK, but so yummy!
Glad you like the photos!
It’s definitely over-priced, but I LOVE the durable, performance-fabric twist on a chain-strapped evening bag! The design is a bit ridiculous, so to me it’s like a working girl’s wink embodied in a bag. Too bad the inflated price ruins it (although if you make a HIGH pay check for your work, perhaps it would feel truly like a durable version of an evening bag???).
If it were less than $500 and green, then I’d think about saving up for it.
I typically see a lot of negative comments on here. I find this bag fun and functional. Steep for a nylon bag, but given the durability/longevity of Nylon it seems almost fair. I’m quite drawn to the bright colors in this range. Not everyone’s taste but I quite like it!
ANOTHER Prada advertisement???? No one else advertises as much as they do on PB. I wonder if they read the comments. Rarely are readers impressed with anything they are advertising!
What’s with the plastic croissant?
I assure you that’s real!
Plastic, really? What makes you think it’s plastic?
The banded colors, texture, and shape too even
Just a perfectly made croissant!
The croissant seems to be rolled out ot a very long and narrow piece of dough. The “banded colors” are a result of two different textures; the layers that spread out during baking and the top/bottom which are smooth. The top/bottom of the dough always gets darker faster than the layers. All I see is basic baking made with love and care.
Cute colors, but looks cheap as hell. I don’t like the slack in the fabric either.
they are cute and perfect for summer but should be priced at 900$
I will buy this if it’s silver hardware!
Super cute but I need to see this in person
I would seriously consider buying this at $690 but $1690 is ridiculous.
Megs – Like many other ladies here I’ve been watching the new season of Big Little Lies and there is some serious purse eye candy. I would love to see Purseblog to a feature on “The Many Bags of the Big Little Lies” ladies. Thanks.
Ok, let me see what I can do!!
Should be leather for that price…
They look cute and fun to me. Is Tessuto stain-proof? If not, how is it kept clean?
Just curious, what does “in collaboration with Prada” mean?
Sponsored content usually.
I love this, but it definitely isn’t worth over a thousand dollars. I will be awaiting the day they’re under $600.
Megs, which country was this made?
I think this is the ugliest, cheapest looking designer high-end bag I have seen. I’d like to say EVER seen, but I’ve seen some bad ones over the year so there may be a couple out there that have been worse… IDK… Prada! Back to the drawing room!!!
Looks like a way less nice version of the Mulberry Cheyne I picked up a few years ago on clearance. I’ll stick with my Cheyne!

Such a classy bag! I recently came across some really chic tote bags on Tumi. I carry a TUMI myself and I found them to be really functional and stylish. You can check more styles here: https://www.tumi.sg/bags/totes
