A Chinese Folklore Tale Comes to Life With Prada’s “The Modern Tale” Capsule Collection

  • By Bryan Goh

Prada's 'The Modern Tale' Capsule Collection
The pendulum when it comes to Chinese folklore tales swings to two extreme ends. You have the happy ones which includes talking rabbits on the moon, a peach tree that blossoms all year round and insert-generic-fillial-piety plots. And the bad ones are well, bad — the ghosts of pregnant women that stalk their prey, demons that lurk in the water and… shapeshifters.

But if you’re Mrs Prada, (and that’s Miuccia Bianchi Prada to you, punk), you ain’t pressed.

In fact, you’re gonna come up with Prada’s “The Modern Tale” Capsule Collection: a capsule that celebrates the magical and mysterious power of love at its heart.


And you’re going to do a new Prada Re-edition bag as part of Prada’s “The Modern Tale” Capsule Collection. It now comes with a detachable ribbon and chain shoulder straps and a Saffiano leather name tag with a keychain.

P.S.: It’s apparently for the ladies but you don’t really care right? But if you do, the gents get an astral blue messenger bag and belt bag with contrasting black edges, made of nylon and Saffiano leather from Prada’s “The Modern Tale” Capsule Collection.

Where does your story come in for Prada’s “The Modern Tale” Capsule Collection?
