The Prada Arque Bag was introduced in 2023 and it gained a lot of attention in the fashion world. It’s a reinterpretation of a similar bag from the early 2000s. The Prada Arque Bag is not a re-edition, but rather an evolution of a hobo bag that has appeared in Prada’s collections for decades. The name “Arque” means arched or curved in French, which also explains the sleek, ergonomic and crescent shape. This typical shoulder bag can be easily snugged under your arm or worn crossbody. The design is quite minimalistic and refined, built with sophisticated and high quality materials. It feels timeless. Read more about the Prada Arque Bag review below:

Pros:
I love the half-moon shape, people start to call it “dainty”. It’s the most elegant shape I have ever seen
I also appreciate the minimalist and elegant style
The strap is unique and a game changer, it can be worn with almost anything
The leather is soft, supple and incredible strong. It’s prone to scratches
The bag holds shape despite of the soft leather
It’s ergonomic with curved design and can sit under your arm. You can wear it very comfortably
It’s not covered in logos, which is perfect
Cons:
The suede needs care because you can’t get water on it and its easier to get stains
Depending on your body type, it can look clunky and sit weird. It’s not for everyone IMO
If you’re tall, the crossbody strap can be too short
The soft leather might sag if you start filling the bag up too much
