Well into the post-pandemic era, the demand for practical yet stylish handbags is still on the rise. From oversized totes to structured trapeze top-handle bags, the latest runway collections affirm that spacious purses are here to stay.
For its Spring/Summer 2025 lineup, Prada leans into this ethos with a covetable selection of handbags, including a fresh interpretation of a timeless silhouette—the bucket bag.
What Is the Prada Buckle Bucket Bag?
For its Spring/Summer 2025 show "Infinite Present," the Italian fashion house explores the tension between contrasts, harmonizing utilitarian elements with bold, statement-making details. This vision manifests itself in one of the season’s standout silhouettes: the Buckle Bucket Bag.
Debuting at the Milan runway show in September 2024, the bag appeared in two looks, styled to complement sharply tailored ensembles. Models strutted down the catwalk with the practical yet sophisticated accessory in white and burgundy, reinforcing its versatility across various styles.
Defined by its languid, cylindrical silhouette, the Buckle Bucket Bag is distinguished by a leather belt accent that fastens its open-top closure. Crafted from supple Soft Grain leather, it measures 29 cm in height, 26.5 cm in width, and 18 cm in depth. Available in four classic shades—white, caramel brown, black, and deep burgundy—the design ensures effortless integration into any wardrobe and season.
Inside, the bag offers a spacious main compartment with a sturdy base for added support. Lined with premium calfskin leather, it includes a small slip pocket by the opening for your compact essentials. Each unit is outfitted with an adjustable leather handle, allowing for an ergonomic, customizable drop length between 28 cm and 36 cm.
How Much Is the Prada Buckle Bucket Bag?
The Buckle Bucket Bag features three distinct belt variations: a classic leather belt, a gold chain jeweled belt, and an edgy metal-studded belt, resulting in a total of nine variations to choose from. Retailing from €3,300 to €4,400 (about P206,748.30 to P275,664.40), prices vary depending on the selected belt design.
Locally, interested shoppers can head over to the Prada boutiques located in Greenbelt 4, Makati, and The Shoppes at Solaire, Parañaque to see the bag upclose.
