I'm in love - what's that bag!? - Page 2

Glad to see that you found the info you were looking for. The bags remind me of artwork- very beautiful. I wish more designers would use this kind of "art" on their handbags instead of the same boring designs.

Thank you, Restricter, for this info. Very helpful.

I don't know where the search function went but there was a thread about the new bags a few weeks ago -- I added a pic from style.com which I can't seem to find on my drive. It was the same girl in a fold over tote in turquoise/lilac hues -- and there was a smaller orange colorway bag too. The print is all over the spring fabrics -- lots of sheers.

These remind me of a cross between 60's pop/art nouveau and anime -- and with so much of the Prada market in Asia it doesn't surprise me. I'll reserve judgement until I them in person.

Lizz, these are actually the same style bags as the Ombre runway bags from the Fall season. The leather is soft and lightweight, so unless you're planning on putting a bowling ball in the bag the straps should hold up just fine.

^^^^^

Thanks for the update !!!
I think the bags are adorable.....but I haven't bought a Prada in years, because I found the leather ripped and tore very easily even with very careful use. Restricter, please post pics of the one you get....you can PM me or disguise it in the LV forum somehow so peeps won't be so rude in the future.

^RESTRICTER!
I always ask PF ers opinions because I rely on them heavily to tell me whether I think a bag is too trendy for me or not....99.9% OF THE TIME...THEY EVEN tell me its too trendy and ill end up selling it in one month.I LOVE THAT!
Im sorry ..BUT U ASKED for an opinion..we gave it..Like that opinion or not??!!
THATS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR!we arent making fun of u,we r jsut telling u our HONEST opinions.I saw your thread in LV about being pissed off at this....
I think if u post a bag .u should welcome ALL opinions as this is what a FORUM is for...

I truly VALUE BOTH the negative AND POSITIVE opinions as i heavily rely on them to make sure Im not wasting hard earned money!

Sorry if u were offended ..we all like different things...I dont expect everyone to like what I have...ever!!LOL!that would be silly!

I LOVE these Prada's!!

Beautiful artwork, and definitely a collectable! I've been so impressed with Prada over the last year. From bags and shoes to R2W, they are truly on top of their game. I know it might not be for a while, but PLEASE post modeling pics as soon as you get her!

lizz · Jan 15th, 2008, 09:29 PM

^I agree, I never would've been attracted to the Prada bags until recently. I feel the label is becoming much more modern in its designs. I feel this fairy bag and the gradient bag I bought is VERY cutting-edge and cool. Yes, please post pics if/when you buy this bag so those of us who love it can see it on! Thanks in advance . . .

glamourosity · Jan 15th, 2008, 09:51 PM

Restricter, when is the bag going to come in??

I luurve it.

^^^^ With all due respect, I think restricter was simply asking for a little more class in your replies, not saying you shouldn't post your opinion at all... I think simply saying "that isn't my style" should do... "Fugly"??!! Wasn't Mean Girls made like, 4 years ago? LOL (J/K)

Jill · Jan 15th, 2008, 10:44 PM

^Excuse u..??I never called the bag FUGLY.....LOL!
