The name Prada usually renders mental images of high-end designs, fashionable runways, and maybe even Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada. For me, however, Prada always equals well-made, chic handbags.
That’s exactly how I’d describe this Prada Cervo Antik Bowler bag. Because of the brand name, you know undoubtedly that you’ll be getting excellent quality. After all, you’ll be paying for it with the handbag’s $1,500 retail price.
Anyone shopping for Prada would expect that kind of price tag, however. If you’ve got money burning a hole in your pocket and can afford to splurge on a purchase like this one, you won’t regret it. The Cervo Antik collection is definitely one that will stand the test of time when it comes to style.
Made from soft deerskin leather, this bowler bag is crafted to perfection with subtle pleating on the front and sides. This particular purple color might not be the most versatile, but the bowler comes in a few different shades to suit different tastes.
I like the simplicity of the design, which is something that I’ve come to expect from the brand. One of their other, more structured bowler bags, the Vitello Daino Bowler, is even more simple in looks than the Cervo Antik. They are equally stylish, but I do prefer the more relaxed look of this one. The worn-in looking leather is casual without being rustic.
I don’t really have any complaints about the Cervo Antik Bowler except that I might love it even more if it had a longer, detachable shoulder strap. It’s not really an issue, however, since the double rolled handles would provide plenty of carrying ease.
