I'm In The Clear

Okay guys, I'm back.  I'm in the clear.  I'm all yours.

And the good news is my supplier tells me there is time to get bags out for XMAS.  So if you've been thinking about it and want to place an order, come at me!

Like today, tomorrow or Sunday.  Then that's it folks.  Then you are SOL.

Write me, call me, send me a message from the site.  I'm all yours now.

Ahhhh!

Let's do a bag of the day!


Prada.  I don't highlight Prada for a lot of times for the same reasons applied to Miu Miu.  Some bags are great.  Others...meh.  Prada bags are usually made to look beautiful!  They look fabulous.  Every last detail on these bags is right.  So when you get the bag, you're all giddy. 


Then your wonderful relatively new bag breaks.  And then you're not happy.  Some Prada bags, like the one above are made very, very well.  Good looking AND durable.  Some though, not so good.  Look great and perfect but the durability is just not there. 

Remember when I was talking about Miu Miu bags the other day?  They are the opposite of Prada bags.  They are usually made very durable and there is never a breaking issue.  It's always the design or the look that gets messed up on them. 


If you're madly in love with a Prada bag, ask me or another person who's selling the replicas if it's a keeper.  Trust me you'll be glad you did.  If the average return policy on a replica site is 7 days, your new awesome looking replica Prada is bound to break on day 8.   Trust.  And if you ask someone in the business, is it a good bag?  And the standard reply is, "very good.  very good.  buy it.  buy it.", run.  Run fast my friend.  If a bag is great it will sell itself.  There is no need in this industry to have to do the force sell. None.  You'll never, ever hear me say, You gonna buy that?  Huh?  Ready to pay?  Come on pay now? 

These bags, if they are made well, and if someone is honest, will sell themselves.  Now A LOT OF PEOPLE come to me and ask, "is this or that a good bag?" and that is where the honesty needs to come in.  I had to tell a guy NO on 4 bags this week.  It hurt me to do it because he just wanted to buy his partner a bag.  He didn't know what was good or what wasn't.  He only knew of 1 designer!  He wanted the pain of picking out a handbag to end and to end fast!  He kept picking poor quality bags.  I'm sure by the end of it, he thought I was yanking his chain and just saying NO, THAT ONE IS BAD, for fun!

Again anything that I just wrote has to be footnoted with a disclaimer that reads this is not an across the board application for any particular brand.  It's a learned experience from importing and exporting items. It's the reason why I can confidently say, LV Griet, Hampstead or Whatever?  Yeah, THAT is an awesome bag. No doubt - buy it.  Enjoy it. 

You say, Prada New Shopper?  I bite my finger nails.  Just ask.  You'll sleep better. 

Happy Shopping!
