This season, sophistication takes on a new shape as the Prada Galleria embraces the East-West silhouette. And in this latest evolution, the Prada Galleria captures the season’s stretched out staple with such exquisite precision. It’s an elongated iteration that transforms the Maison’s already beloved design into something gloriously contemporary.

Then we have its variety, where texture is key. From lustrous Saffiano leather to supple Soft Grain finishes, in a palette that runs from pristine white to rich caramel. And always one up for some fun, Prada also gives us the Galleria in bold animal prints and fringes in sumptuous suede.

No matter your choice, each piece embodies Prada’s mastery of contradiction and paradoxes: lightness meets sophistication, ease balances rigour. Additionally, the metallic zipper details add graphic punctuation to this timeless yet thoroughly now accessory. This is how Prada defines effortless luxury for the discerning woman always on the move.
