The Prada Cahier (pronounced ka-yeah, French for “notebook” or “journal”) is a standout piece in Prada’s collection, first introduced in 2016. Inspired by antique books and vintage travel trunks, the Cahier blends romantic, old-world charm with Prada’s bold, fashion-forward edge. It's instantly recognizable for its distinctive metal hardware and structured form.
