PRADA - Cartella Professionale Vintage – Pelle stampata...

PRADA Splendid and rare archival folder-style handbag signed Prada Milano, featuring a structured silhouette reminiscent of the timeless “doctor bag” or mail bag style. Made in premium and sturdy genuine cow leather with crocodile-embossed effect, in a vibrant fiery red shade with high visual impact. The external design presents a large front flap with two vertical adjustable straps, adorned with glossy silver metal buckles imprinted with the brand "PRADA." The wide, solid single top handle is anchored via coordinated rectangular rings, ideal for hand carrying. The bag's rear maintains a minimal, elegant geometric clean look, without exterior pockets, but characterized by the same continuous crocodile-embossed finish that covers the entire body of the lot. The interior reveals impeccable organization and technical details of excellence that attest to its historicity and value: a capacious main compartment equipped with an internal red leather securing strap with a gold buckle, ideal for blocking documents or a laptop. There is an internal zip pocket. The lining is entirely made in the characteristic dark jacquard monogram fabric with a wave motif and the PRADA lettering. In the center of the inner wall stands the rectangular archive leather tag with a hot-stamped logo: PRADA / MADE IN ITALY. HISTORY AND AUTHENTICATION DETAILS: - Estimated year of production: Late 1980s – 1990s (Vintage archival). - Key hardware detail: The inner zipper slider is branded CCC (Cerniera Chiocciola), the historic Italian hardware manufacturer regularly used by Prada in that specific time period, a crucial detail for collectors and authentication experts. CONDITION: VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION - Exterior: The leather retains a beautiful luster and structural consistency. There are slight and natural signs of age, small creases, and a light and common color loss/abrasion localized only on the lower corners of the base, due to normal resting on surfaces. - Handle: Compact, intact, and free of cracks. - Interior: Clean jacquard monogram fabric, in excellent condition, free of tears, loose seams, or stains. Zipper smooth and functioning. Vintage boutique value: About €2,200 Measurements: Height 27 cm Width 34 cm Depth 11 cm Splendid vintage item that carries with it the charm and history of its time.
