The thing is, those newer, slick, super-minimalist wallets? They’re fine, I guess. But vintage Prada? That’s a whole different vibe. They just *scream* “I have taste,” even if you’re rummaging through your bag for spare change (which, let’s be real, is *always* me).
eBay’s got a ton, apparently. And The RealReal is slinging ’em too, claiming up to 90% off. 90%?! Okay, I gotta check that out later. Although, you know how it is with “sales” online. Sometimes it’s just smoke and mirrors. Still, the thought of snagging a real deal Prada wallet… tempting.
I think the appeal is that they were, like, actually *made* back then. You know, before everything was mass-produced and kinda soulless. Plus, you get that little bit of “history” with it. Someone else used this wallet, probably paid a fortune for it back in the day, and now *you* get to carry it around. It’s kinda cool, right?
And the *designs*! Forget those boring, plain rectangle things. Vintage Prada wallets have got, like, embellishments. And different kinds of leather. And probably a slightly weird, faded smell that just screams “authenticity,” even if it actually just smells like mothballs (okay, maybe *not* mothballs, but you get the idea).
I saw one online, listed for $350. Which, okay, is still a lot of money. But for a piece of Prada history? And something that’s actually gonna hold its value (or, you know, even *increase* in value)? It’s kinda worth it, I think. Maybe? Depends on my bank account after rent, tbh.
