Prada Brown Ostrich Leather Jewel Embellished Swing Bag SS 2003 Archival Piece

According to Vogue, Prada is a designer brand that delivers through unexpected reinventions. From dresses, to jewelry, to handbags, Prada alters the staples of fashion into items with completely different essences. From the Spring/Summer 2003 collection, this rich, mocha brown Ostrich leather hand bag is a futuristic take on the classic purse.

Outfitted with a dramatic steel D-shaped hoop for a handle, this hand bag dons large prong set jewels and beads. There is an excellence in the balance of color here that mimics the balance of forms. It is a post-modern questioning of the purse and is equally curious and dramatic. As such, it is nothing short of a collector’s piece. This purse and variations can be seen on the Spring 2003 runway and featured in Prada's Spring 2003 ad campaign modeled by Elise Crombez and photographed by Steven Meisel.

The bag closes with a concealed snap. The hoop handle has the Prada logo engraved, the interior is lined in satin with a single interior pocket. In very good condition with some minor creasing to the leather at the back bottom corner of the bag.
