Hi All -

I am new to Prada... actually just bought one today and I know NOTHING about 'em! So I am hoping everyone here can assist me! (Many thanks in advance for that!)

I bought the Prada Gauffre in Nylon - the Large Vertical Tote (zipper top, cross body strap) in Black. Here are my questions...

How do these bags wear? (I did a search here but mixed reviews came back)
Should I keep this?
How can I wear this -- for the fashion impaired, what do you think?
Should I keep this?
I am not sure about the black... I have never been one for a black bag but...
Should I keep this?
Is it feasible that this is $1725 at NM and $1450 at Saks? (I think I see it on the Saks site for less - but in Lavanda and Bruciato only)
Should I keep this?

I think that is it...

Many thanks to all!

Thanks, Jill and Emmy!

Okay, here is a picture... I am not modelling it though - I STILL need to get dressed! :smile:

Two more questions...
What can I wear this with? Can this be a little hand held bag too? (Sorry fashion impaired here!)
Is it feasible this is $1425 on Saks site and $1795 at NM? (The only reason I ask is I sorta' wanted the brown and it seems to be cheaper -- I wonder if it is the same bag!) Is brown more practical or black... hmmm....

Thanks so much!

They are different bags - the one on NM is larger than the one on the Saks site. Why not order the brown one from Saks and compare?

I love them both - I have the smaller gauffre in leather - I've only used it once so far, but I SO loved carrying it!

P.S. - I took off the strap...but it is a dressier bag. I don't see why you couldn't hand-carry this one - it would look great either way!

^^ I love it! HIT SUBMIT!! That is too cute! Also, today is Saks promotion day - the gift card event!

This bag is about the same size as mine in width and depth but the height of mine is 4" greater! This bag is so cute! I say buy it! So far, I love mine! (I even ordered one in brown as well!)

You and me both! Since I got my gauffre, I also got a lovely previously-owned LV Alma - I just couldn't resist! Now I'm trying to stop...what I really need to do is weed out some of what I've got! :crybaby:
