Prada has been flying below the radar. Nothing exceptionally amazing and nothing on the other end of the spectrum, exceptionally awful (ok I take that back, remember the Visone tote?!). Nevertheless, for the most part we have been un-phased by Prada.

While we appreciate all of the additions and imagination that goes into making stand apart bags, sometimes we simply want a great and practical staple. This is precisely what the Prada Soft Calf Hobo brings us, exceptional craftsmanship and supple calfskin leather.

There is no reinvention of the wheel here. As much as we are always craving the perfect little black dress, it is imperative we have a classic black bag in our collection. Many opt for Chanel, but this Prada bag is a great everyday bag. There are two side pockets for easy access and a fun luggage tag, which appears to be removable. A snap closure and inside zip pocket finishes this bag off. Dimensions are 13″W X 11″H X 5″D. Buy through Saks for $1495.

...nothing special.

Compass Rose · Aug 28th, 2009, 02:17 PM

Yeah! Now, I like this!!!

M_Butterfly · Aug 28th, 2009, 03:36 PM

Way too big for me!!

GottaShop2 · Aug 28th, 2009, 07:46 PM

Nice!

Stella Fleuret · Aug 28th, 2009, 08:48 PM

Looks kinda pretty. I don't like these bag shapes generally (looks like a tote to me), but I like it. Prada always impresses me!!

gacats · Aug 30th, 2009, 08:03 AM

I do like totes, and this one is nice, but not nice enough to justify that price.

Stella Fleuret · Aug 30th, 2009, 06:24 PM

That's true, gacats. I agree!

karo · Sep 1st, 2009, 03:53 PM

I really, really like it! It's a nice, classy bag, great for work.

Chi town Chanel · Sep 2nd, 2009, 09:36 AM

The leather on this bag is wonderful. It is a classic that you could use forever. Great and practical style.

This bag seems "safe" to me, but not spectacular. I think itll be a good daily use bag.

noon · Sep 2nd, 2009, 07:35 PM

Yawn, quite boring. But it looks like it would be a good functional bag for everyday use.

This is lovely :)
