Crafted from Prada’s signature Saffiano calf leather, this logo plaque mini bag is a timeless piece. The compact rectangular silhouette is available in a variety of colors and suspends from a gold tone chain strap, allowing it to be worn over the shoulder, or across the body. It’s punctuated with signature branding and inside reveals a zipped compartment, an embossed logo and three cardholders. It’s the perfect size for a night out, when all you need is a few essentials, or for days when you want to travel light.
Prada Padded Nylon Clutch Bag
Made in Italy, Prada debuted its first shell bags in the '80s, and they've been a house signature ever since. This Prada clutch bag is created in the house’s signature nylon and bears a signature triangular logo plaque on the front – a feature which depicts the coat of arms as an emblem of the house’s House of Savoy heritage. It comes in a variety of hues and features a silver tone zip across the top and suspends from a coordinating chain shoulder strap. We recommend carrying it in hand or attaching the gunmetal chain strap to wear it cross-body. It’s a considered touch to finish a muted daytime look, such as a sweater and trousers and works equally as well with evening edits.

It’s clear to see the level of expertise and classic Italian craftsmanship that’s showcased in this Prada crystal embellished nylon clutch bag. Constructed from black nylon, it features floral shaped rhinestone jewels, a top zip fastening, an internal zipped pocket, a logo plaque, a detachable chain shoulder strap and an enamelled triangular logo on the front. Carry this Prada bag to complement party edits or to bring an uplifting spirit to daytime dressing.
How to Care For Your Prada Clutch Bag
Prada bags are generally made from durable nylon and saffiano leather which are both water repellent. If it gets soiled, check the care tag on your clutch bag and follow the instructions provided. If that doesn’t work, try a gentle cleaning method like using soap and warm water. If you’re having trouble getting your Saffiano leather clean, take it to a cleaning professional. To keep your Prada clutch looking its best, the house suggests that your clutch bag should be stored in a dry place inside the provided dust bag.
If you visit a Prada store they also offer a cleaning service for an additional fee or you can email their client services team, who can arrange for your bag to be picked up by courier. Once they have received it, the artisans can apply specific products to protect the leather and the bag will be cleaned. If needed, a color touch up is also available and zips and hardware can also be replaced.
