If I asked my fellow editors to weigh in here, they’d probably tell you that I can't quit my obsession with all things ‘90s. And it’s true. From loose, ripped jeans to
Perhaps my favorite take on ‘90s-inspired fashion today? Prada’s Cleo bag. While the bag—a reinterpretation of the brand's iconic styles from the decade—is relatively new, it’s already soared to It-status. Carried on the arms of celebs like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, there’s no doubt that it will be one of the most in-demand accessories in the coming months. But for me, the bag has even more significance.
My very first big fashion purchase ever was a nylon Prada messenger bag in the late ‘90s. It was a proud moment to spread years of savings on the counter at Neiman Marcus and an even prouder moment to carry the bag around. In fact, the timeless bag is still one I use on the regular to this day. So, when I saw that Prada gave a new spin to their classic ‘90s styles that won me over the first time around, it immediately caught my eye.
My ‘90s nylon messenger may be a forever staple in my closet, but now I’m looking to the next iteration of the accessory. The Cleo bag is one that has equal staying power and will no doubt be a smart investment piece to last in your closet for the next 20 years ahead.
