Prada Madras Bags

Madras, plaids of every color for spring and summer is the pattern of vacations, resortwear and summery attire. One would not think it was appropriate for Fall, but leave it to Prada to find a way to make it so!

Crafted of solid color and two-tone finely woven leather, Prada has created a line of Madras bags lustworthy of any bag lover. If you are a woven bag fan (like me) you will feel like you’ve been hit by Cupid when you see and feel these bags! The leathers are finely woven in India, then sent to Italy for final fabrication. These bags feature weaving all over the bag and straps. Various styles perfect for individual tastes!

Madras Double Handle Small Tote Bag
A ladylike tote featuring woven & rolled leather double-handles with a 5″ drop, this bag has a two-tone leather with a grey-tonal weaving. Gold accents and the triangular Prada logo are exterior features of the bag. It measures 12.5″ x 9.5″ x 5.5″ so it’s definitely quite roomy. A top snap closure opens to reveal a suede lined interior with a single zip pocket and an open zip pocket. Available for $1995.

Madras Top Handle Flap Tote Bag
The largest bag in the collection at 13″ x 13″ x 6″. It’s the perfect day bag for the fashionable professional. Solid chocolate brown weaving all over the bag. It features a 17″ detachable shoulder trap and a woven top handle with a 5″ drop offer differing carrying options. The front flap closure features gold embossed Prada logo. and a snap closures. A roomy suede interior features an inside zip and open pocket. A beautiful, timeless bag for $2650.

Madras Flap Shoulder Bag
My personal favorite of the collection is the smaller flap version that measures 12″ x 7.5″ x 4.5″ with a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap measuring 19″ x 23″. The bag becomes a perfect over-sized clutch. A front snap closure and gold embossed logo add a beautiful detail. An open suede lined interior includes a zip and open inside pocket. $1995.
