I’m underwhelmed, and I hate being underwhelmed. I’m not a huge fan of Prada’s Fall 2009 offerings, and I’m even less of a fan of Prada Spring 2010. So much so that it kind of makes my head hurt.

Memo to the fashion industry: no one wants clear vinyl bags. No one. You guys tried this crap a few seasons ago and thought it would be cute, and they all ended up on the sale rack at the end of the season, and they didn’t even move particularly quickly once discounted. A clear, architectural hard plastic clutch meant to hold three things for a night out, a la Fendi’s Spring 2010 presentation? That’s clear done well.

But a vinyl gray-tinted clear satchel meant to hold the dreck of everyday life, like tampons and your ATM receipts? No thanks. Do not want. Ever. But that, with some jewels stuck to the top and a canvas tote or two thrown in for good measure, is basically what we got. Since Prada does such a big bag collection for every season, this is probably only the tip of the iceberg and several other non-runway mini lines will eventually surface, but if this is any indication of what’s to come, I’ll take a pass.

It's funny, I either love or absolutely hate Prada, it rarely evokes amobivalence from me.

Really don't understand the see through bags at all. Chanel did them and I didn't understand them then.

NagaJolokia · Sep 30th, 2009, 04:33 PM

See-through is cool. Nothing is new here at all; all commonplace classics, i.e. speedys/bostons, that I don't really care for. However, at least most of them are okay-looking and not ugly, right?

HandbagAngel · Sep 30th, 2009, 05:22 PM

Oh No.... I will not spent 4-digit money on plastic bags which are also see through.

I agree, the clear stuff is lame - -- I am not interested in having my purse innards broadcasted to the world.....

Nothing new here is right!

The plastic bags don't knock my socks off for sure..

Remember back when Michael Kors did a big tote also as well as Chanel..

this time it seems like ambivalence it what they're going for, IMO very successfully done which is not a good thing. Bland, generic and dull.
