Prada's ₹ 2.73 Lakh metallic Tote bag takes Internet by storm. See hilarious reactions
Prada, renowned for its cutting-edge designs, has introduced a new men’s tote bag that has sparked more laughter than praise.
The luxury brand has unveiled a men’s tote bag that has quickly become a target of ridicule among luxury consumers, primarily due to its unconventional design, which some say resembles the unkempt floors of Indian buses or trains.
While the bag features an appealing minimalist aesthetic, Prada may need to acknowledge the criticism, as many customers believe the design overshadows its other attributes.
At this time, Prada and Balenciaga are just profiling people with 0 brain who we can leave behind in case an asteroid is coming and we need to migrate to a different planet.

This stylish metallic tote, featuring a hot-stamped leather design, strays notably from Prada’s traditional motifs. Although it offers a minimalist appeal, complete with a dust bag and a designated compartment for a water bottle, the new design fails to make a memorable impact.
Historically, some unusual designs have made a significant mark in the fashion industry, but this time, fortune did not favor the luxury brand. There are occasions when innovative designs do not resonate with consumers, and this tote bag serves as a prime example.
A lively discussion is underway regarding whether this bag represents a groundbreaking fashion statement or simply an eccentric design choice.
This unique design illustrates how even high-end fashion can be shaped by the viral influence of the internet.
The bag’s steep price has ignited significant discussions online. Harrods, a luxury retailer, offers the bag for £2,850 (around Rs 3 lakh).
Founded in 1913 in Milan by Mario Prada, Prada is a prestigious Italian luxury fashion brand. The brand is celebrated for its stunning leather handbags, travel accessories, footwear, ready-to-wear lines, and a wide array of other fashion products.
India, known for its rich history and cultural diversity, plays a major role in the handbags market. By 2024, the revenue in this sector is projected to reach an impressive US$4.50 billion. This projection indicates a robust growth path for the market, with an anticipated annual growth rate of 5.48% from 2024 to 2028.
