Prada Arque Bag Review: Nylon, Suede, Leather, mini + Small + Large Size, Price

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:

Overview

The price of Prada Arque Bag is $2,450 – $4,200 USD. There are 3 sizes; Prada Arque Mini, Small, Large. Its usually made in calfskin, but also in suede. The bag is made with an extra long and adjustable handle that is long enough for shoulder carry. The most popular colors are pink and white. There is also another version; the Prada Arque Flap Bag.

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
