Hi ladies & gents!

After drooling over this bag for a very long time, I finally decided to buy it.

The journey to buy this bag have been so long. There is so many decisions to make: with zippers, or without zippers? which color? which model? where to buy it?

I've had such a hard time to figure out which one is perfect for me, so I started to choose if I was going to buy the model with zippers or without. Personally I love the structure the bag has with zippers, it reminds me of the Hermes Birkin. The reason why I didn't buy the one withouth zippers is because it looks so unstructured and I don't like that at all.

The color choice was kind of easy, I knew that I wanted a light, quite neutral colored bag. I wanted this bag in Sabbia (sand) first, but it was only avaible in the bigger sizes so I choosed the one in Cammeo. And I don't regret my color choice!

The hardest thing was to choose which model I was going to buy. I tried to decide between 1801, 2274 and 1876. Since I haven't a PRADA store in my country and couldn't try them out, I relied in modeling pictures and compared to other bags I have. After weeks of thinking, I decided to buy the 2274 because I wanted a quite big bag which is quite functional.

Sorry for my novel, hehe. Isn't she beautiful?

I felt that on mine so I've to get it check with my SA, I was thinking whether you had the same problem bc from image I can see the right side have abit wave handle images could be the reflection.. Thanks! Enjoy ur blossom bag!

Hi! Thank you :smile: I haven't actually noticed anything on the handles, but as you may have seen in my other thread, my handles have started to peel off a little bit. I've sent it to Italy to be repaired, so I can let you know how my handles look like when I get it back. I think if your aren't truly satisfied with the bag for the price you paid, you really should talk about it with your SA.

Hi!! Just received my 2274 papaya today after 2.5 months wait! My handles are smooth but I do notice some dents on my bag though. I'm trying to ignore it since I love the color so much and they've already discontinued the color so I don't think it's possible to replace mine with the same color.

Other than the dent, I'm loving my bag so far!

Congrats! Bn2274 is gorgeous isn't it!! Yeh I know what you mean... I'm trying to ignore my handle but it gets to me, that's just cause I'm pedantic lol I'm going to my boutique as my SA would like to have a look at it whether it's defect or not. If it's normal then I am happy to keep it. If it's a last one like yours then I would keep it and enjoy it :smile:

Your purse is beautiful! I am thinking of buying the same one. I was wondering, how hard is it to maintain this light color? Do you find you have to be extra careful? I love the cameo, but not sure if I should just get basic black. I want to use the bag every day and not be worried. However, I hear that the saffiano leather is really durable. Can you let me know your thoughts?

Thank you! I really don't know since I've just had it for about a week.. but I've heard that it shouldn't be a problem because it's easy to just wipe off. I would say that black is the safest choice if you are worried, but the cammeo is just so lovely! :smile:

I agree, the cameo is sooo lovely. I want a spring summer bag and the color is perfect. I think I will do a little more research and take the plunge. Saffiano seems to be a pretty durable leather...
