When it comes to quality Italian leather handbags, one of the first brands that comes to mind is Prada. Prada is not only known for its rich history and iconic logo, but its bags are incredibly crafted, allowing them to stand the test of time. Everyday handbag lovers and celebs alike have chosen to carry Prada for years and have looked to the brand for stylish classics that both feel and look luxurious.
We’ve covered throwback bags from various designers such as Dior, Gucci, Fendi and more, and few have featured as many bags that are as relevant 10 years ago as they are now than Prada has. While some of these outfits are so 2008, it’s truly not surprising that almost all of the below bags are classic enough to still be carried to this day, considering the values that Prada was built on. Prada is known for its vast variety of quality leathers and the bags below are an indication of the many options that the brand has produced over the last 12 years. Take a look at what we dug up below and let us know if you still have (or love!) any of these bags.

I STILL love my Prada Vitello Daino Tote…so damn heavy though!
Oh ya, that leather is heavier! But such a beautiful bag!
Looking at bags now compared to then…the bags were HUGE. What exactly were we keeping in those bags?!
EVERYTHING daaaling! Ha, I truly don’t know. I have some mighty big bags that I could never carry today!
I love prada but their new collections are so so bad
The Prada Fairy bag will forever be iconic.
I don’t think I can go back to big bags like this, though I loved them at the time, I’ll stick with mini bags from now on.
I also prefer smaller bags. While I do have two larger handbags in my collection, I wouldn’t actively hunt for bigger bags as usually my necessities can compactly fit into a smaller backpack (Longchamp Le Pliage Club.)
Ok one of the pics made me really appreciate my bra. And is it just me, or do all these throwbacks look like everyone actually USED their bags? I don’t think collecting and amassing was quite the same 10-15 years ago.
Just makes me wonder where are all these bags now?!
Some of those bags the leathers and colours were gorgeous
