Securing an ‘investment piece’ is no mean feat. Spirits are high when traversing luxury avenues in search of a bag that will retain its value and elegance throughout time and trends, but the journey is often unfruitful. To be worthy of investment piece status, there are certain criteria that should be met. Versatility, a story, a classic silhouette. Bonus points if it’s limited edition. Enter: Prada Galleria.

The Galleria bag is named after the location of the House’s Milan flagship, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, where creative director Miuccia Prada’s grandfather founded the Maison in 1913. (Meaningful backstory? Check.) Created in 2007, the Galleria’s strong silhouette allows it to be endlessly reimagined without losing its essence. (Timeless? Check.) This season it is revamped once more as part of a limited edition release that sees geometric shapes in contrasting hues splashed across Saffiano leather. (Exclusive? Check.) Summery and sophisticated, playful and grown up, the Galleria is crafted from 83 individual pieces and hand-finished down to the emblematic Prada triangle that sits front and centre.
