Prada Vintage Bauletto Zipped Bowler in Papaya Nubuck Calfskin

This is a 100% authentic Prada Vintage Bauletto Zipped Bowler in Papaya Nubuck Calfskin with Brushed Gold Tone Hardware.

Perfectly proportioned between a small and medium size, this subtly branded Prada bowler is crafted from a thick, firm, calfskin nubuck in a beautifully rich terracotta shade.

Semi structured, the hide is fabulously luxurious and substantial, (think saddles!) with a soft, matte texture like the finest, velvet nap. Please note that there is a particular aroma associated with nubuck from the tanning process. Not chemical, stored or perfumed, it's a leather smell but ever so slightly stronger than standard calfskin. 

Two zips that meet in the middle to close, a handy mini zipped pocket to the front and all fully lined in black, Prada signature silky jacquard with two zipped pockets.

Carry by hand or in the crook of the arm.....it's a very tight squeeze on the shoulder.

Condition -  Very Good

Details -

Incredibly well kept, (these pieces were made to last,) there's no actual wear to the hide whatsoever.

Corners and curves are excellent with just a couple of very light fingernail scuffs to the rear, upper RH side.

Minor friction rubs to the two, top zip headers where the attachment rings rest, the remainder of the hardware is excellent.

All stitching is strong and inking, (edge sealant) in place with some miniscule flex crackles to the sides of the shoulder straps and one stray, vertical streak to the rear, inner, LH shoulder strap, (present from construction.)

 A couple of extremely vague, darker marks to the grain on the top panel and RH side panel can be noted on close inspection. (All shown in close up detail in the Gallery above.)

Entirely clean interior with surface scratches to the gold lettering on the PRADA plaque, visible only under magnification.

Made in Italy
