June 5, 2025
This exquisite black Saffiano leather handbag from Italian luxury house Prada’s Galleria collection has earned the nickname “The Killer Bag” among fashion enthusiasts. Crafted from Prada’s signature Saffiano leather with its distinctive cross-hatch texture, the bag combines durability with elegant lines, making it one of Prada’s most iconic designs.
Featured in “The Postman Dreams” (2015)
Cinematic Legacy
In 2015, Prada collaborated with filmmaker Autumn de Wilde on the short film “The Postman Dreams”, starring Elijah Wood as a mysterious delivery man bringing Prada Galleria bags to women in whimsical scenarios. The bag’s cultural significance was further cemented by its appearance in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, earning its “Killer Bag” nickname.
Heritage & Craftsmanship
Introduced in 2007 and named after Prada’s historic Milan boutique, the Galleria showcases the brand’s patented Saffiano leather – a wax-treated, cross-hatched calfskin that’s exceptionally scratch-resistant and waterproof. The leather undergoes a 10-15 second pressing process to create its signature texture.
