The Prada Galleria was first conceived in 2007 and has since become a true icon for the House.
Sleek and stylish, the Galleria design masters both form and function.
Tapping into the craftsmanship of the maison, the Galleria offers a timeless design and has become a hallmark of Prada’s 21st century identity.
The name of the bag is a reference to Prada’s historic flagship boutique which first opened in 1913 and is housed in the well-heeled shopping district, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
Continuing its journey through the 20th century, the design of the bag is reminiscent of 1940s’ frame-shaped bags, with its rectilinear shape and curved top-handle, the inside conceals a trio of parallel compartments; two zipped with another pocket hidden deep inside. The first iteration of the bag was crafted rain Saffiano leather, a material patented by the House’s founder, Mario Prada and is still a go-to leather for Prada today.

The Galleria bag exemplifies Prada’s century-strong excellence in luxury leather goods, created from 83 individual pieces, all hand-finished. For this season, the Galleria bag is available in a series of new colours, adding a pop of vibrancy to the line.
