· Vintage Aesthetic ·
Resembling a thick antique volume, the Cahier features accordion-style pleats that mimic book pages. This design offers surprising capacity within its compact silhouette.
· Classic Details ·
The forest green calfskin features black leather trim with distressed silver studs, blending vintage elegance with contemporary edge. Metal corner guards recall traditional bookbinding techniques.
· Buckle Closure ·
A wide black strap with antique silver buckle secures the bag like a book cover. The closure requires unlatching before opening, providing security with slightly complex access.
The silver PRADA MILANO logo plaque adorns the black leather strap, complementing the antique metal buckle.
· Chain Strap ·
The silver-gray metal chain strap offers shoulder or crossbody wear. Leather shoulder pads provide comfort and grip, though the non-adjustable length may challenge petite wearers.
· Interior Space ·
Measuring 20cm long (standard book length), this compact flap bag contains two main compartments plus a secured inner pocket for valuables.
Fits essentials: cardholder, smartphone, notebook, AirPods, lipstick, perfume, and compact powder with organized ease.
· Fashion Look ·
Like carrying a literary classic, the Cahier transitions effortlessly between feminine dresses and casual denim, making it a versatile wardrobe staple.
