Finally, a Prada bag concept that’s both practical AND cute. Check out Renée Zellweger and Kate Winslet sporting their Prada messenger style tote bags, fashioned from the classic tessuto and saffiano fabric and personalized with their initials. While a bag with monogrammed initials can definitely go the route of cheesy, there’s something innately stylish about this one. Not only is the tote bag, with its long strap and double handles, extremely practical for everyday use, but the letters, available in a wide variety of colors and designs, are utterly adorable for all ages.
A quick call to Prada revealed that the letters are actually some sort of polished brass that is punched through the tote at any spot you desire. The best part? There’s no month-long wait; the sales associate can place the letters on while you wait in the store! It’s a great way to add some individuality to your work bag. Or it can make for a great present (fill it with candy and other goodies for an extra treat!)
$540 for the tote, $30 per letter (maximum of two), available at Prada boutiques.
