Prada Mainline Cargo Messenger Bag
Prada Mainline Cargo Messenger Bag
Before Miuccia Prada took over the fashion house in the late 1970s, Prada had not been much different from other luxury brands with their products, solely offering a range of luxury leather goods. Miuccia decided to experiment with different materials in order to give Prada a fresh look (Leather had been the most used material by fashion houses at the time). In 1979, Miuccia introduced the first range of bags constructed from a heavy duty nylon material, which had been labelled as an ‘anti-luxury’ material. These ‘anti-luxury’ luxury bags instantly became a hit. Prada later expanded into clothing in the 90s, continuing the use of Nylon in their designs, and have never looked back.
This piece from the 2010ss is a unique cross-body messenger bag. It features a main compartment with an interior pocket that conceals Prada branding. There are 3 cargo style compartments on the exterior for valuables. Rounded off with signature Prada branding on the front of the bag.
Great condition with no flaws and minimal signs of use.
