Okay, so picture this: you’re wandering around Guangzhou, right? Maybe you’re hitting up Taikoo Hui or something, looking for some swanky stuff. You’ll *definitely* see Prada. And chances are, you’ll see something with that triangle logo. It’s not just slapped on, though, is it? From what I’ve gathered, it’s actually, like, the whole point sometimes? Like, the “Symbole” bag? Apparently, it’s all about that triangle shape being the star, not just some little detail.
I saw a thing online saying it all started with Mario Prada’s totes, which… okay, grandpa Prada knew what was up, even back then! And then Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada got together (talk about a power couple, am I right?) and just ran with it. They were like, “Triangle! Bag!” And BOOM, the Symbole bag was born. A total must-have.
And Guangzhou’s all about that must-have life, you know? Everyone wants to be seen with the next big thing. And the Symbole, whether it’s sunglasses, or a bag, or even just a *ring* (saw one of those too!), that triangle screams “I’m fashionable, and I can afford this!” Which, let’s be real, is the point of a lot of designer stuff, isn’t it?
Plus, and this is just my opinion, I think it’s kinda clever. Like, it’s geometric. It’s modern. But it also feels… classic? Like, it’s a triangle! It’s been around forever! Prada just made it, like, *their* triangle. You know?
Oh, and that SKP pop-up in Beijing! Totally jel. I wish they’d bring it down to Guangzhou. Apparently, they had all these bright colors and summer vibes, which, hello? Guangzhou’s basically summer year-round, so it would fit right in! Imagine the Insta pics!
