Fashion month is in full swing, and with New York and London behind us, it’s on to MFW. Prada remains one of the week’s most anticipated shows, and the street style seen outside the venue never disappoints either. While it’s customary to carry or wear something by the designer who’s showing, of course, many attendees are invited and dressed by the brand as well. In this case, it was Prada or nada.
Most guests opted to carry new bags from the House, like the slouchy, smooshy Prada Aimeé Bag and the cool Darling Bag. It’s fun to see so many Prada Bags in one place, all worn and styled differently.
One creative show-goer tricked out her Darling Bag with charms and other fun accessories, while the brand’s Crystal Triangle Pouch catches the eye all on its own. A bold red patent Galleria is my favorite from the bunch, paired with a seasonally unnecessary but show-stopping fur-lined coat. Check it all out below!
PRETTY IN PRADA

That darling bag is looking a lot like a LINDY bag, geez
Verbatim!
I really like the new Prada bags. But no one is going to say anything about the Darling bag and how similar it is to another one from a French brand that likes the games??
I love seeing bags people wear to shows and how they style them! Thanks team!
The Darling bag is, quite frankly, darling.
The Lindy is possibly my favorite bag from the house (the retourné 3X Kellys being their only competition). I much prefer it to its design sibling, the Hammock, although I prefer the Hammock’s slimmer profile.
To me, the Darling looks like another variation on the theme. While it appears to lack a shoulder strap, and does not appear to be designed for shoulder-carry, it retains all the slouchy appeal of the Lindy with (again, what appears to be) less of the bulk. The double top-zip seems a functional alternative, as well.
This is one I’ll keep an eye on. Perhaps my daughter will accept this in lieu of sneaking about my closet for myyy bags, lol.
The darling bag does have a longer strap. The design is brilliant! Check out the Prada link. I’m obsessed.
Yes! Seeing that it has the shoulders strap seals the deal for me—and the price point is great!
The Aimee bag I only appreciated in person. I thought it looked so plain and boring, but when I tried it on I was sold. The lambskin interior and overall feel is really beautiful and luxurious… but also the size and way it easily hangs with a jacket is brilliant. It is very minimal but the draping and shape and feel is worth it to me.
I love the Aimee as well, though it does remind me of the Celine Remy. Prada has really found inspiration in other houses…
I keep coming back to the Aimee in suede – it is stunning!!
It’s just wild to me that Prada, a truly great design house, is blatantly, shamelessly copying other designs. Like sure the Darling doesn’t have the zipper pulls and lock like the Lindy but their Margaux knockoff is quite literally the Margaux with a Prada triangle slapped on. It really is about marketshare in the cutthroat world of fashion.
I’m going to need one of those Darling bags preferably in a non-neutral color.
