9 Prada Bags That Will Never, Ever Go Out of Style

There's something truly timeless about the best Prada bags. Like all the smartest fashion investments, they just don't seem to age. Whether you woke up as a fashion girly in the '90s or right now, the brand's famous nylon backpack probably features towards the top of your wish list. The Galleria tote remains the pinnacle of ladylike poise, almost twenty years after its first release. The minimalist Re-Edition 1995 couldn't be any cooler, thirty years on. You get the picture.

Easily some of the most aspirational arm candy of the last 50 years, Prada's bags, have long been the stuff fashion dreams are made of. Ever since Miuccia Prada took over the helm of the family company in 1978, she has sprinkled her genius over the handbag line in particular, creating pieces that are not just fashionable, but culturally iconic.

So, if you're currently in the market for a piece of the proverbial Prada pie (try and say that after a few wines, we dare you), you probably want to know which are the best Prada bags. From modern day heroes to the classics that have stood, and will continue to stand, the test of time. After all, a Prada bag is not a small investment, and like everything we purchase these days, it needs to add joy but also long-term value to our wardrobes.

Which Prada bags are worth spending your money on? We have a few suggestions below.

SHOP THE BEST PRADA BAGS:

1. DADA

Prada's latest arm-candy offering, the Dada, has swiftly entered the charts of our all time favourites. It may be fresh of the AW25 catwalk, but this soft, simple but striking bag looks like it could have been plucked from any season in the last few decades—and that's exactly what we love about it. Modern yet classic, with an iconic embossed logo, buckle detail and soft folds. It's not too small or too big, and the longer handles transcend any trends we've seen come and go recently, giving it a quiet longevity. We're sold.

3. RE-EDITION 1995

Boasting the iconic Prada logo, a chic luggage tag and, well, not much else, this multi-pocket, boxy silhouette is reflective of Prada's minimalism at its finest. With a top handle and longer shoulder strap option this could easily be your go-to sidekick for decades to come.

4. BACKPACK

It's not often that you associate a rucksack with luxury, but that's certainly the case when it comes to Prada. Lest we forget the bag's iconic reference in the ultimate '90s rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You, it's clear this practical yet cool design will always have clout.

5. BONNIE

The ultimate blend of function and style, Prada's Bonnie bag is another more recent style from the brand that carries a vintage look that makes it feel ageless. A very sleek take on the chuck-everything-in shoulder bag, with an elongated silhouette, slender handles and belt-inspired buckles. The Bonnie comes in four sizes to suit your specific needs.

6. EXPLORE

With the brand's now instantly recognisable buckle details, a play on the OG backpack pockets, with a sprinkle of added elegance from the shoulder straps, the Explore is becoming a modern-day classic that's whipping Gen Z up into a frenzy. There are more relaxed versions in padded nylon, or more elevated leather iterations—take your pick.

7. GALLERIA

Often the bag that first comes to mind at the mere mention of Prada, the Galleria tote is known for its clean design and roomy interior, making it incredibly popular as an elegant day-to-day handbag. It was first conceived in 2007, but for AW25 the brand is focusing on it as an It bag of the season once again, proving just how timeless this bag is.

8. RE-EDITION 2005

Elevated yet still youthful and cool, it's no wonder Prada revived the 2000-2005 shoulder bags with roaring success in recent years. But it's far from done. As one of the label's most popular bags of all time, there are now hundreds of iterations, from simple black to crystal-encrusted or bright pink. Whatever your bag personality, there's one here to suit you.
