Replica Prada

Welcome to Replica Handbags PRO’s exquisite collection of replica Prada bags and accessories. The replica Prada is much more than a functional alternative to the pocket. It is the deep history of design, going back to the ancient beginnings and understanding the origins of purses that keep those designing the Prada label on the edge of design.

Through the course of time the Prada has become a design object in its own right, a signature mascot for all of the major French couture houses and a powerful symbol of growing female independence. Until the late 1700s, both men and women carried handbags. When the direction of fashion in the 1800s streamlined the female silhouette, the need for a replacement to the garment pocket created a permanent role for the woman’s purse. The ultimate woman’s purse is a replica Prada. The ultimate source for yours is Replica Handbags PRO.

In antiquity, bags were used to carry weapons, flint, tools, food, and eventually money. Egyptian burial chambers of the Old Kingdom (2686–2160 B.C.) contain double-handled leather bags designed to be suspended from sticks, as well as bags made from linen and papyrus. The ancient Greeks used leather bags called “byrsaas” for coin pouches; this is the language source of the English word “handbag”. Over time, the handbag has evolved to a status symbol, a statement of class.

The replica Prada, similar to its forebears, continues to be an important offering in the ritual of courtly love. The rise of the evening bag can be dated from the seventeenth century, when men and women used gaming bags to carry their chips and coins. Designed to sit flat upon a table, these bags reflected a new sophistication in form. With a shallow tightly gathered drawstring body attached to a circular base stiffened with cord or leather, the bases of these bags were often decorated with the initials or coat of arms of their owner to avoid any confusion over the night’s winnings. The square shape that had dominated bag design for two centuries or more was now sprouting into three dimensions. Bags were made of interlocking panels in the shape of crescents, shields, and pentagons and told little stories (of heroic colonial enterprise or secret love) on each individually embroidered panel. The idea of the bag as a narrative in itself or a formal social badge for its owner expanded in the eighteenth century when leather folding wallets featured one’s name and title boldly embossed on the front, usually in gold letters.

By the middle of the 20th century, bags for women became smaller and tended to be obscured within the folds of large skirts made even more voluminous by hoops and farthingales. Increasingly, the bag had to compete with its much more practical rival: the pocket. The notion of an elaborate bag with a drawstring or handle became more and more feminized as the century progressed. As masculine fashion became even more streamlined with tight breeches and cutaway coats, men were forced to compress their needs into custom- made wallets that contained everything from cash to credit cards.

The Prada in the 1960s seemed eager to shrug off the hang-up of structure and tradition. Bags were made in simple shapes and elaborate inexpensive materials such as wood, straw, cotton, and PVC. Bags could be whimsical, like Enid Collins’ sequined baskets, or psychedelic patterned Prada bags, but they were rarely staid. Bonnie Cashin’s design mantra “make things as lightweight as possible—as simple as possible— as punchy as possible—as inexpensive as possible” summed up the spirit of the era. The American sports- wear designer spearheaded a return to soft, unstructured bags. She coined the term “Cashin Carry” for her 1967 replica Prada and it stuck; she made a lunch-box shaped bag with pockets that flipped open on either end, and a hobo bag that included an extra pouch—just in case. She took the everyday replica Prada and dolled it up in acid-bright leather piping and Harris Tweed. Designing replica Prada’s from 1962 to 1972, her ideas spawned the slouchy egalitarian style of the 1970s and continue to speak to the preppy elegance of contemporary sports replica Prada bags.

The replica Prada in the seventies was influenced by the divergent forces of feminism, global travel, status fashion and sport. Unisex styling gave the ‘man-bag’ its brief moment and many rough hewn embroidered denim and hand tooled leather shoulder replica Prada bags were worn by both sexes. Utility style had an impact on materials and both the rip stop nylon ‘Le Sports age ran on the cover of Life magazine in 1956 making the Kelly the most famous bag in the world. Luxury accessories were slower to catch the public’s imagination in mid century America than in Europe, where an inexpensive replica Prada was expected to last a lifetime.

The first four years of the twenty-first century saw the most intense diversity in replica Prada design and equally intense competition between designers, but the replica Prada handbag always dominated the race. When Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Moss began to sport Prada handbags, owning a replica Prada mirrored a cult-like following. When characters on the TV show Sex and the City obsessed about owning a red replica Prada bag, the yearlong waiting list for the bag doubled and then tripled. In terms of fame, the replica Prada bag has now eclipsed the authentic Prada handbag. Perhaps it has simply come to be that the replica Prada is the bag of this generation, being softer, larger, and slightly louder than its predecessors. Regardless of the reason, Replica Handbags PRO can fulfill the need to own one.
