First off, let’s talk about the leather. We’re talking glossy, wrinkled leather, maybe Saffiano (that crosshatch stuff, you know?), and sometimes even supple leather. It’s Prada, so you *expect* good leather, right? But then they slap on these floral appliqués. And, well… that’s where things get interesting.
See, some of the articles mention these “large floral appliqués made and applied by hand.” Hand-made! That’s sounds fancy. It also sounds like a potential disaster. Like, imagine paying thousands for a Prada bag and then one of the flowers starts, like, *peeling off*. Nightmare fuel, I tell ya.
I saw one description that said “embossed florals in a tonal design.” Okay, that sounds kinda chic, actually. More subtle. Less, “HEY LOOK AT ME, I’M CARRYING A GARDEN!” Which, let’s be honest, some of those big floral ones are SCREAMING.
And then there’s the whole “SS23 collection” thing. Which, like, cool, it’s new. But also, fashion is SO fleeting, isn’t it? Will these flower purses be “in” next season? Or will they be relegated to the back of someone’s closet, gathering dust, a sad reminder of a trend that’s gone the way of leg warmers and jelly shoes? (Okay, maybe not *that* bad, but you get the idea.)
eBay’s got a bunch, new and used. Which, y’know, is a good way to maybe snag a deal. But be careful! Make sure you’re getting the real deal. Fake Pradas are everywhere, and ain’t nobody got time for that. Especially if you’re shelling out for a *floral* fake Prada. That’s just… a double fashion crime.
Farfetch has the real deal, apparently. And you can pay in 12 installments. Twelve! That’s a long time to be paying for a purse. But hey, if you gotta have it, you gotta have it, right?
