The Prada handbag is a global symbol of modern luxury, innovative design and understated prestige.

Since the debut of the iconic nylon backpack in the 1980s, Prada has released a succession of influential designs - from minimalist classics to coveted limited editions. This beautifully photographed guide showcases the full spectrum, from sculptural statement pieces like the Plex Ribbon and the Inside Bag to cult favourites such as the Galleria, the Cleo and re-edition nylon styles that have defined contemporary cool.

Discover the Prada bag's enduring impact on celebrity fashion and popular culture, and explore the craftsmanship behind each piece, from precision-cut Saffiano leather and architectural silhouettes to hardware, finishing techniques and interior detailing.

With expert insights on authentication and navigating the resale market, this is a smart, practical resource for anyone looking to buy, collect or invest in a true fashion icon.
