Prada puts some sparkle into your evenings with this Torpedo Frame Sequin Clutch.
Such a glitzy number won’t appeal to everyone, but I’ve fallen in love with this pretty Prada purse. Its pastel sequins create a gentle ombre effect which is just so striking. I’m not always a fan of bags covered in the flashy metal discs, but by muting the colors Prada’s helped make its Torpedo more accessible. I can just imagine the way this pale purse would punch up my favorite little black dress!
Its exterior isn’t perfect though. Prada can never resist putting a bit of branding on its bags, but the golden nameplate is to the Torpedo’s detriment. It’s not large or ostentatious, but the metal motif still disrupts the clutch’s flow.
Clutch purses are rarely practical. They’re too dainty to carry much of anything, and this puts them behind the eight-ball. But I’m impressed with all the zip and slip pockets Prada’s added here. The Torpedo is also a bit longer than the average evening purse, so we might be able to slip a few sneaky extras inside it.
There’s no chain strap though, and I feel its absence. Of course I miss its convenience, but that’s not all. While I’m sure Prada’s done its best to secure the sequins, these kind of discs usually come loose. A hands-free carrying option would have extended their life, and kept the Torpedo looking its best for longer.
At $1030 there’s no denying that the Torpedo is too expensive, but that hasn’t stopped me coveting it!
