Prada has this bag that is SUPER popular. I have sold many of these and I have sold some to my sister in laws and friends. YES, I have seen them up close and personal. It's a great bag.
The only con that I would have for a grub like myself is that the jeweled front piece would be broken and / or lost. I'm not very good with ornamental pieces because I am usually running from one place to another. That running usually makes me get caught on something and then *POP* bye bye jeweled piece!
This is a gorgeous bag. Very sophisticated. Very classy. Very dressy. It's definitely an IT bag. I have a sister in law using it everyday. I'm not sure I could do that but I know that it definitely is usable everyday. It would not seem weird to do so.
Now here's the Hermes reference. This bag comes in a ton of colours as well.
I'm going through a green phase. I am so digging that emerald green one above. I love that this bag has a shoulder strap.
Here comes the usual PRADA disclaimer. These bags are NOT made for wear and tear or to be work horses. I have owned a lot of Prada bags. I have broken almost all of them (real and replica alike). It's most likely me but if you're like me, and are rough with your bags, expect that they take a beating, DO NOT BUY A PRADA replica. You will cry. I know I did.
It's very sad to see a gorgeous bag broken because you tried to get on the elevator at the last second and your handbag stayed behind.
Tugging, lugging and dragging is not for these bags (buy a Balenciaga, LV, Hermes, Chloe or a Gucci bag for that stuff - they can take anything). Do NOT buy Prada or Miu Miu. They are not made for that kind of treatment.
The Prada Jewel handbag is on the site for $260.00USD and that includes shipping and inspection service to Canada and the US.
Happy Shopping...dahling!
