I’ve told this story so many times, but it’s integral to this entire site. A Prada Nylon Messenger bag started my love for designer handbags. I had a friend who returned from a trip to Paris in high school with what, to me, was the most perfect bag of bags.
I could not get my mind off of it and begged my parents for one. It wound up being my graduation gift, and a couple of years later, it sat next to my desk as I wrote my first entry on this site.
One of Prada’s most recent new releases that has spoken to me the most is the Arqué. This bag combines every detail I love from the brand, as a self-proclaimed Prada girl from the start, and puts it in a pretty little package.
For summer, Prada is offering this bag in new colorways. This is one of Prada’s strong suits – colors. You would think it is easy to create new colorways, but few brands are as well-versed in hitting just the right hue in the way Prada does.
A Rainbow Assortment
There are so many options, from the quintessentially notable Prada celeste (a dreamy blue) to wisteria (a violet hue that makes my heart smile) to aquamarine (a Mediterranean sea-like green) and more.
The bag is pretty versatile. Sure, it is more compact, but I took it for a spin a few months ago and can report that it works for daily necessities.
The bag provides versatility with its detachable, adjustable leather handle and shoulder strap. The patch pocket on the interior holds some cash or a valet parking ticket, and the interior compartment (lined in Nappa leather) is open for your items. Dimensions are 18cm H x 22cm W x 6cm L.
The price is $2,700, and you can discover the many colors of the Prada Arqué now!
I like the last one, the Jade color or should I call Blue Tiffany.
Cute, but $2,700?
In the bag world right now, that seems on the reasonable side to me 😉
I have this bag in cognac. It is light as feather. The leather is very luxurious and it still looks pristine even though I’ve been carrying it continuously for the past six months. Pretty spring colors!
I also liked the bag’s usability and functionality when I tried it in person! These colors make me happy!
The lilac one I love!
