Yikes, just read this whole thread and didn't see I was chastised for saying "fugly". But don't we all agree with Jill, that we want to hear what others say about bags, gives you a different perspective???

But the worst part, or should I sawy best part is "fugly" turned into fantastic cuz decided I liked the fairy bag and just ordered it, but won't be here for another week. Will post pix when it arrives.

Then you guys who don't like it can sling mud at me. Sorry for the fugly faux pas. PS Never saw the movie "Mean Girls", maybe I should.

My husband looked at it and totally agreed!

THAT said, not really a fan. I am now wondering if some designer at Prada said “hey, let’s see if anyone catches THIS”!

Now I know I'm not that crazy, I just checked out the artist's 17 foot by 200 foot Prada piece on his website. You see the more of a picture, with more of the creature's hands and body.

Have a great Monday, all!
ROFL!!!

I think the bag is kinda cute, but am not certain I'd carry it. I like nice bags but *must* be able/want to use them everyday.

It was never the different perspective -- it was the word choice. Anyway it's over. But what changed your mind?

I saw the bag in person, and I thought it was gorgeous!!!!

I thought it was stark white from the pictures, but it's more very light cream with subtle pink hue and that's what did it for me. Also it does look like a work of art, and I'm more of a hand held tote gal.

Can't remember, did you get the bag restriter??? I got the smaller version, since I won't be using if for an everyday bag, but that size even held alot --IMO.

There was only 1 size last Friday -- the $2290 one with the double zipper. I might actually use it as an everyday bag, just to shake things up. The bag looks stunning with a black suit. I wouldn't wear it on a job interview but for a day-to-night look, it rocks.

BTW, did you see the empire waist dress in the Runway Lookbook with that print? I think I might want one.

I saw the dress on the prada website, liked it and a pair of shoes. Probably won't get either, but were nice. The 2290, I didn't think was that small, did you? Did you get it? LMK.

The $2290 bag was the big one and I grabbed it so fast that the bag was a red, white and black sparkly blur. Could Prada have mispriced this batch? I tried on a skirt with the print today. Will wait for the dress and then I'll probably wait for the sale. It's not like I could wear that dress to work...

I honestly think prada decided to increase the price when they realized what a hot item it was....restricter....... if u remember I had a pricing issue with my fairy bag....in the beginning I was quoted 2290 for the large than they told me 2490..... than I told them that is not what they quoted me....yadayadayada and got it for 2290.
