Prada Square Totes: It’s Hip to Be Square

Basic geometry defines a square as a four-sided regular polygon with all sides equal and internal angles at 90º. Bag Snobs define a square as a perfectly chic, smart, and snappy shape for a tote. And it looks like Prada agrees! Showing off a new collection jam-packed with alluring squares, they just might be the biggest proponent of the square bag this fall, taking it from trend to possible revolution.

A few months ago, I came to the shocking realization that a python Prada was missing from my exotic bag wardrobe. This new berry edition, lined in lambskin, is just the antidote to all bags light, pure, and dull. Just in time for fall, this python sparkles like a garnet (and has a jewel-worthy price tag) – and the bold shape shows off the skin like a perfect picture.

Leave it to a cute square to streamline the bowling bag style into something tailored. Go for mature and ladylike with burgundy (a classic fall choice) or satisfy your inner little girl with creamy pink and white (a wardrobe shake-up).

My favorite square, however, might be the camel-colored lambskin brief. Crinkly skin just looks so good on a stern form – it’s just the right juxtaposition. It’s the classic Prada we’ve always known and loved, now with harder edges and a softer core.
