Prada City Calf Double Zip Executive Tote in Hand Stitched Black Calfskin - SOLD

This is a 100% authentic Prada City Calf Double Zip Executive Tote in Hand Stitched Black (Nero) Calfskin wtth Shiny Silver Hardware.

Crafted from a thick, luxe, matte black calfskin, all entirely hand made......from the 'So Black' chunky stitching to the painted inking..... its a superb, super-solid and substantial, craftsman contructed piece.

The trapezoid shape gives a modern feel whilst the traditional Galleria styling makes it so instantly recognisable, these pieces were built to last both in terms of style and longevity.

Ultimately practical, its strong and sturdy with a fabulous suppleness that ensures its not hard sided or boxy, so though its a weighty bag it feels fabulous to carry.

Divided into three sections, the main interior seals with a self locating popper and boasts a lining of thick, luxe stone-toned suede with two, zipped pockets and one leather slip. The outer two zipped sections are lined in signature Prada jacquard fabric.

Condition -  Very Good*

Details - 

No wear to the hide. All corners, curves and even the flat leather base feet are unworn.

Hardware is bright and shiny with only minor surface scratches, (no dulling, oxidisation or tarnish).

Shoulder strap is excellent, top handles are well shaped and firm and inking, (edge sealent) entirely in place.

Stitching is intact and strong throughout.

Entirely colour consistent. Though the calfskin is very finely grained it manages to deter fingernail scuffs magnificently! 

A number of surface impressions to the hide can be noted, most visibly the two to the front, middle of the bag. Shown at a standard distance and also close up, these appear as a shallow diagonal line and a twin dot, see photos provided. A couple of extremely minor impressions to the base and sides, these aren't noticable without inspection.

As is very commonly found on this style, the surface fibres of the hand stitching begins to ruffle with use and become slightly fluffy. Again only visible if reviewing closely, this is a natural feature and doesn't affect the piece in any way.

The reason for the * rating is due to the flex cracking to the inking at the four top corners of the aperture (opening). No loss, peeling or stickiness, this crackling is inevitable on a piece of this stature with its movement when carried. It does not affect the use of the bag in any way and is significantly less visible than the close up photos make it appear but has, of course, been reflected in the price.

Entirely clean interior.
