Few brands have nailed the archival trend as well as Prada has, tapping its beloved bags and reviving them for the now. Its fashion’s cyclical nature that allows us to revisit what was once an It-Bag from a brand, delighting handbag lovers with a mix of past and present. Prada has perfected this trend, bringing back some of its most iconic bags and modernizing them for the now. And when it comes to popular vintage bags from the House of Prada, few Prada bags were as iconic and beloved as its nylon line from the early 2000s.
A House Icon from the 2000s Returns
It’s not surprising then that the brand continues to hone in on its former favorites, enchanting fans of the past and captivating fans of the present with touches of historical Prada elements and a contemporary flair. The newest Re-Edition is no different.
The latest bag to see a comeback is a classic house staple from 2002. The new Prada Moon Bag revisits the lines of an iconic shape from the 2000s, combining a silhouette from the past with Prada’s innovative spirit of the now. The Re-Edition 2002 is characterized by its compact silhouette and curved lines, but it’s the details that really bring together two worlds — Prada’s past and present.
A House motif, the Prada grommet, comes from the sailing world but becomes an element of function on this bag, accompanied by the large Prada buckle, which has a sporty feel that works alongside more casual Re-Nylon. Of course, the most recognizable House element, which represents Prada’s past, present, and future, the enameled metal triangle logo, finishes off the Re-Edition 2002. That specific House motif dates back to 1913 when it first appeared on trunks designed by Mario Prada himself. A removable key ring lets everyone know this is part of Prada’s beloved Re-Edition line. Retail is $2,700 via Prada.
