Prada Nylon Bags

Prada turned industrial nylon into a luxury material in the 1980s and 90s, and the Tessuto bags of that era — hobos, backpacks, messengers and totes with Saffiano leather trim and the enamel triangle plaque — are now vintage staples. Alongside them we stock the Re-Edition 2000 and 2005 revivals that brought the shapes back.

Good to know

  • Why nylon: feather-light, weather-resistant and forgiving of daily use — a practical first vintage designer bag.
  • Vintage check points: nylon fading or shine, zipper tape condition, plaque enamel, and Saffiano corner wear.
  • Details that date a piece: plaque style, zipper brand and lining pattern help place production eras — our listings photograph them all.

Every piece is checked by our team in Japan and graded on our published condition rank scale (N, S, SA, A, AB, B), and retail orders include an Entrupy Certificate of Authenticity. Stock is one of one: when a piece sells, it is gone. Sold-out pages stay up so you can compare — and if the one you want has sold, message us and we will find it for you.
