I wonder how long it will be before Paris Hilton is carrying the fairy bag?

One potential problem is that I think both bags are hand held....hopefully they will have a shoulder strap.

[quote=cougess;4955693]Let's all remember that this is a website about purses! Thank goodness we all don't like the same bags or we would have to fight over them


Great point!!! I guess from now I will be happy if someone doesn't like the same bag as me.. Less competition..mwahahaha

Just got the call; they're here! Also found out Bergdorf's should be getting a limited quantity.


Forget Paris Hilton. If Nicole Richie's child is approx. her size, she could use one of these as a diaper bag.

These are so cute!! Thanks for posting pics. Not the most versatile, but would go well with a cute white T, jeans, and some black stiletto boots...hmmm...

Just got back from 5th Ave. Each store in NY (and the rest of the US) only got in 3 bags and only the larger size. If you want one, you'd better hurry. Retail price for the large was $2290.

btw - you said in an earlier post that the smaller size is $2290 and the larger was $2490 or so. so now it's confirmed - the larger is $2290 and the smaller one is therefore less $?

Hey there Shopping247. I did. I got the larger size on the theory that if I waited for the smaller one, I'd end up with nothing.

The larger one is a Bauletto, if that helps you figure out the size. Here are dimensions I found on Amazon, of all places for a different style of Bauletto -4.3 x 11.4 x 6.7 inches. The smaller one is supposed to about the size of the Glace Satchel that's still on the Saks website under the Fall Handbags section. Not sure about the price for the smaller one. Unlike LV, Prada seems to keep its sales staff in the dark about prices and release dates.

One more juicy tidbit - the leather has a sparkly finish. The shopping bag is sitting under my desk and I keep sneaking peeks inside. I wish Spring would hurry the heck up and get here!

restricter - OMG!! congrats on scoring this handbag!! i can't wait to see pics of this, especially the sparkly finish! do let us know if the large can be worn on the shoulders as is (for spring clothes, so no bulky wintry jackets) or whether it comes with a cross-body strap.

i am going to pick up this prada bag from Saks today (see pic below, from billbill's thread about this bag). let me know if the large is comparable to this size or not (or i can check myself by comparing the measurements you just posted above). actually, if you wouldn't mind posting the exact measurements of the large when you get home later, that would be great. TIA!!

^Girl, you need to bust that bag out whether it's winter or not! I didn't realize you had gotten the bag ALREADY. This is great news. We want to see pics, especially detailed pics of the sparkly finish. I actually like the larger bag better, although the small's great, too.
