Prada has always had travel in its DNA. Long before the brand became a global fashion powerhouse, it began in 1913 as a maker of oggetti di lusso—luxury items like steamer trunks, travel accessories, and handcrafted handbags.
Founded by Mario Prada in Milan, the brand quickly gained a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, even earning the approval of European royalty. And that now-iconic Prada triangle? It first appeared on those early travel trunks.
Fast forward to today, and travel remains central to Prada’s identity, with luggage and travel accessories continuing to play a key role in its offering. The new Prada Duffel Bag—part of the brand’s men’s luggage and accessories collection—pays homage to that legacy while pushing the design forward.
Crafted from deerskin-effect calf leather, the bag is soft, smooth, and textured with a unique grain that makes each piece feel personal. It’s the kind of material that looks better the more you use it—luxury with lived-in character.
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.
