prada fairy bags
The Fairy Bag is an art. Crafted from the luscious deerskin leather, with most refined craftsmanship, it is worh much admiring and drooling. The soul of this bag is the illustration painted by James Jean. His comic art successfully collaborated with internationally renowned fashion house Prada to create a faerie world of fairies. . The hues are plum, black and earth vividly with a slight shimmer of the deerskin background. With fairies, nymphs on the forest glade, this bag is infused with life and spirit. The bag is designed in a simple shape with dual top handles, but looks enchanting and majestic in whole.
The designer of the bag is the head of Prada, Miuccia who is always ‘trying to find a new creativity’ and commissioned artists to do illustration for her collections. There is no doubt the Fairy Bag is a huge success. After its premiere in spring 2008, it has been redesigned into various styles such as tote, messenger, wristlet and clutch. The signature fairy prints also spread to Prada’s shoes, frocks and scarves.
