Prada’s history begins with travel. Founded by Mario Prada in 1913 who created oggetti di lusso, or objects of luxury, the company initially specialized in travel accessories and steamer trunks, alongside handbags and unique items. Renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, Prada’s pieces earned international acclaim and even royal European patronage, laying the foundation for the brand’s prestige. The iconic Prada triangle – first seen on those early trunks – became a lasting emblem. Today, travel remains central to Prada’s identity, with luggage and travel accessories continuing to play a key role in its offering.
Prada’s intelligent design and sophisticated know-how find elegant, contemporary, and functional expression in the new version of the Duffel Bag, which enhances and completes the collection of men’s handbags.
In line with the brand’s artisanal expertise, it is crafted from deerskin-effect calf leather, which not only makes it exceptionally soft and smooth to the touch but also gives it an irregular grain that makes each piece unique.
Its shape – both classic and modern – evokes a relaxed, summery attitude. Constructive details such as double handles, an adjustable shoulder strap and a central zip combine precision, practicality, and a timeless, sophisticated informality.
Thanks to its dimensions and a design that blends clean lines with the leather’s richness and softness, it can be styled as a travel bag, a weekend bag, or a more casual duffel.
