Get the designer look for less…
We don’t know about you, but we’ve been seeing the Prada raffia tote bag all over our Instagram feeds. The designer handbag launched all the way back in 2020, and has become a wardrobe staple ever since.
It’s the perfect addition to your Summer wardrobe, with a soft, deconstructed design and the embroidered Prada logo complementing any outfit. If you’re a fan of the bag, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s back for 2022, available in a range of fun colourways.
Although we are big fans of the bag, it is definitely more of an investment piece. The tote currently retails at £1,400 on the Prada website, but if you’re planning on using it for years to come, then we think it’s well worth the cost.
