While Mendes shares she's not one to splurge on luxury items, she says she absolutely can't live without the Prada Cleo leather shoulder bag ($3,250).
"I was filming 'Riverdale' in Vancouver, and I was looking for a simple everyday black bag with silver hardware specifically, and I needed it to be big enough that it could fit a good amount of stuff but also not too big that it can't be worn at night as an evening look, but I wasn't finding anything that I liked online," she says. "There was a Prada store a few blocks away from where I lived in Vancouver, and honestly, that was the first designer purchase I made that truly felt worth it . . . this bag has lasted me so long and I wear it every day — all the time."
Mendes adds that she "actively [has] to work hard to not wear it" — that's how much she loves it.
Pro Tip: The brushed leather, a distinctive material in a lot of Prada collections, is likely why Mendes can get away with using this bag day in and day out without the wear and tear that most bags experience over time. We're also loving the iconic '90s hobo bag style.
