Prada’s ₹2.73 Lakh Metallic Tote Bag Compared To Bus Floors Online

Prada, known for its innovative designs, has stirred debate once more—this time for unexpected reasons. The luxury brand’s latest men’s tote bag has garnered more laughter than admiration, as many find it strikingly similar to the dirty floors of Indian trains and buses.

This sleek metallic bag, adorned with a hot-stamped leather motif, deviates from Prada’s usual emblems. Despite its minimalist charm, which includes a dust bag and a compartment for a water bottle, the internet couldn’t overlook its resemblance to industrial flooring found in public transport.

To add to the controversy, the bag’s hefty price tag has ignited further debates online. While some fashion enthusiasts may admire its understated elegance, many are left wondering if it represents a bold fashion statement or a peculiar design choice.

Social media is awash with clever comments and memes poking fun at the tote. One user quipped, “Looks like the floor of a train toilet,” while another joked, “I didn’t know fashion meant carrying around a piece of public transport!”

Whether admired for its chic minimalism or critiqued for its unintentional resemblance to public transport floors, Prada’s tote has undeniably captured attention. This unconventional design highlights that even luxury fashion can fall prey to the viral influence of the internet.

Previously, French brand Louis Vuitton stirred controversy with a cowhide leather sandwich bag priced at an astonishing ₹2,80,000. The piece debuted on January 4, crafted by Pharrell Williams, the Men’s Creative Director of the French luxury fashion house.

Drawing inspiration from a classic paper sandwich bag, this large clutch is made of cowhide leather, matching the color of the brand’s iconic shopping bags. It features the recognizable Louis Vuitton logo and a blue closure to secure sandwiches or other valuables.
