Prada's FW23 menswear collection manifests as an "exploration of the fundamentals of fashion," as the brand puts it. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have the clothing talk over Prada's Fall/Winter 2023 collection, appropriately named "Let's Talk About Clothes"
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons present Prada’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection, aptly titled “Let’s Talk About Clothes,” after a group anchored in choice. And what better way to start a conversation than with a set of tote bags that look like flasks? Pinkies raised
Prada’s FW23 handbags are just stylish branded totes containing stainless water bottles, albeit in textured leathers and glittering silver coats.
The sleek, rectangular shape of the bag and the bottle’s rising top give the bags the appearance of enormous flasks you may carry. They’re not, regrettably. However, they sell your preferred drink carriers, so everything is preserved.

Prada’s Flask Tote & FW23 Menswear Collection
Though that may be the whole goal. In Prada’s FW23 menswear collection, already-muted uniforms are refined and reduced to give them a new meaning in an “examination of the principles of design,” as the brand puts it.
At their most basic, the Prada tote bag and drinking cup, in this instance, convey the sense of being brand-new and distant Prada products. Or I’m reading too much into it. The future?
In contrast to its SS23 collection, which unsurprisingly included leather shorts and fierce boots as the Prada man’s summer uniform, the Milanese fashion company went even more understated for FW23.
As of 2021, the company employed 13,140 people worldwide and ran 661 locations that were both owned and franchised. The majority of Prada’s net sales are concentrated in the Europe and Asia-Pacific areas.
