Prada Ivory Saffiano Bi-Fold Zip Briefcase You know how the movies portray things. Everyone walks fast, walks with a purpose, walks with power… oh and they all look fabulous. I was instantly reminded of this when I came across the Prada Ivory Saffiano Bi-Fold Zip Briefcase . It is sleek, elegant and it means business. This Prada bag has a bi-fold front pocket with a zip closure – perfect for grabbing that presentation you’ve prepared. The front leather lined compartment has built in pen holders, card and patch pockets. Basically you have everything you’d expect in a traditional briefcase, but it is a touch more fashion forward. The measurements are 16” wide x 11½” tall x 3” deep.
