*RARE* PRADA ST. COCCO BICOLO PAGLIA HANDBAG PURSE

Description: ST. COCCO BICOLO PAGLIA HANDBAGbyPRADA "Over almost a decade of ground-breaking experimentalism, Miuccia Prada has explored everything from irony to deliberate ugliness to intellectual subversion. She’s been there, done that, and has the souvenirs to prove it. For Spring 2004, the designer turned her attention to the stiffest fashion challenge of the day: how to make feminine, happily nostalgic clothes without rehashing the clichés of vintage?“It was about tourism and craftsmanship, many things,” she said of a show that revisited the optimistic fifties to bring back a full set of densely packed suitcases. Out tumbled every possible variation on the classic touring wardrobe: circle skirts printed with illustrated Mediterranean scenes, shirtwaists and Capri pants, sundresses and bathing suits, button-through skirts and lovely evening frocks, silk madras bras and little tulle full-skirted dance dresses." This spectacular vintage frame bag from PRADA oozes subdued luxury in a classic and timeless manner. The neutral exterior is elevated through the use of tonal crocodile leathers in natural and tobacco brown that is offset with beautiful bronze circular chain strap and hardware. The exterior of the bag features a luggage tag on one side that may be personalized with a picture or other memento or keepsake. The other side features the easily recognizable PRADA triangle brand placard at the base. The purse opens and closes with a flick of the embossed latch. The interior, fully lined in leather, features an open compartment with one side zip pocket. Protective feet at base. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS BAG1) I have been an avid collector of handbags over the years; however, I only have one PRADA remaining in my collection of 75+ bags. The reason I held onto this particular bag when I transitioned others out of my closet is primarily because of its unique but timeless design. 2) Seasonal sophistication. Fall is my favorite season, which corresponds to when I generally had this bag in rotation. I loved how this bag complimented the earth tones I favor wearing at this time of year, as well as the cashmere sweaters, wide-legged pants and plush overcoats. 3) It is a highly collectible PRADA, without being the PRADA on everyone else's arm. Approximate Dimensions: W10 x D4 x H7 NOTE: First 3 pictures are professional/runway photos. All other photos are of the actual item for sale. CONDITION DETAILSThis bag is preowned and will therefore show some signs of prior use on both the exterior and interior of the bag. I purposely provide high-resolution pictures taken in natural light of every angle of the bag (front, back, top, bottom, sides, corners and interior) to accurately reflect item's condition to the best of my ability. Any moderate and/or major condition details are clearly notated under "Item Condition" with a corresponding picture with notated area clearly circled. I am also happy to answer any questions and/or provide additional photos so buyers may assess condition prior to purchase. Minor signs of wear which correspond to the item's age and normal use may include the following and are accurately portrayed in the photos provided: EXTERIOR: Minor marks, scratches and/or accretion on exterior of bag that result from normal use, including edge wear on corners of bag and/or minor pilling if exterior is constructed of suede or textile. Hide and dye variations which are common with animal skins due to their naturally varying texture and thickness. Relaxation of shape and minor creasing typical of animal skins which soften with use/over time (I store all my purses upright with insert or paper when not in use to preserve shape to best of ability over time). INTERIOR: Minor marks, pilling (depending on interior material, like suede or textile) and/or accretion resulting from normal use. HARDWARE: Minor scratches and/or patina resulting from age/normal use. OTHER: Owned by non-smoker in pet free home. No residual perfume odors.
