The Prada Cahier Soft Bag Is the best mix of sophistication and amazing

I’ve told this story so lots of times, but I have always been a Prada girl. I remember seeing my pal with her Prada Nylon messenger Bag in high school and I fell in love—so much so, that I begged and pleaded and somehow talked my parents into getting me that exact bag for college. Prada was my first luxury designer handbag, and no matter how lots of years have passed (I honestly feel like I am still freshly out of high school; I am not), the brand will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Over the years, my love for Prada has grown, and working with the team at Prada was a dream I never thought of would come true. A couple years ago, Prada introduced the Cahier Bag for the fall 2016 collection, and it swiftly became one of the most sought-after and popular bags from the brand in years. I’ve seen it carried by so lots of people with terrific senses of style, whenever we post about the Cahier on social media we hear how much you love it, and I continue to find myself drawn to it.

Now Prada has changed up the bag a bit and made the line even better and a lot more versatile, using the previously highly structured bag in supple calfskin. I’m delighted to share the Prada Cahier Soft, a bag that still has every much-loved detail of its predecessor, now in luxurious, soft calfskin.

I love this bag. When I saw it in person, I took it out of its dustbag and just felt the leather, because Prada makes really terrific soft leather. I think so lots of of us are used to the brand’s popular Saffiano leather, which is long lasting and great, but Prada soft leathers should have a lot more love and attention.

The Prada Cahier Soft (Cahier is the French word for notebook—its pronunciation is like ‘Kanye’ without the ‘N’) resembles old French notebooks, with complex hardware detailing at the corners and center latch closure. The bag does look like a notebook, which I find fitting because like a personal notebook, our bags typically hold our secrets.

I love the design of the bag, but I also really love the size. I find so lots of bags that are a tad too big or too small, but the Cahier Soft is absolutely just right. You can see that the interior is thoroughly planned with two compartments, each with a pocket, and the front has a magnetic snap and the back has a zipper pocket. The Prada blue suede lining is glamorous and works perfectly with the supple calfskin exterior.

And let’s talk a bit a lot more about the calfskin, which is what gives the Cahier Soft its name. I read a comment a while back on a different Prada post where one of you said how much you love Prada calfskin and wish we’d feature it more. I wholeheartedly agree. especially considering that having Millie, I do look for a lot more long lasting leathers that I can wipe down easily, but I also don’t want my bag to feel too functional at every moment. part of the reason I love bags so much is because they are indicated to change my outfit and feel like a focal point, and terrific leather is a substantial element in that. This leather is thick, smooshy, and really just divine. Of course you can also select the black leather, which wouldn’t show wear as much as white, but doesn’t the white look so crisp?

As I said earlier, this bag is just the ideal size. I love that there’s an additional crossbody strap that you can change out to really allow yourself to go hands-free. opening the bag is really easy (as you can see in our video), and it’s seamless to do so while the bag is sitting down or on your body.

Right now, there are four colors of the Cahier Soft available: Cinnamon, Black, White and Marine Blue (the latter was purchased in celebration of the Miami design district store opening, and happens to be my favorite color). This is a terrific everyday bag, easy to use during the day and transition to night. If you’ve been eyeing the Cahier but wanted something a little less structured, a little a lot more laid back, but still exceptionally stunning, this is the bag for you.
