Prada outlet bags

[MissJess818]

Hi all!

I’m new to the Prada side of the forums as I usually frequent the Louis Vuitton threads, but yesterday I was shopping at the outlet mall here in Toronto and strolled into Prada for the first time. I saw a bag I like for what seems like a really good price to me considering it’s a full leather bag. (I’ll attach a picture) price point was around $1060 CAD.
I was wondering if the items in the outlet are previous season models and colours, or is Prada like Gucci who creates outlet items? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know but it's likely a mixture of both.

I've never known for certain, but that's been my understanding.

Thank you both !

It was the colour that drew me in! And the soft leather is a bonus. If I can’t stop thinking about it, it means I should go back for it doesn’t it? Haha.

And with the full zip closure, it's one of my faves.

Do you have this bag? Do you happen to know how long the crossbody strap is?

A friend worked for Prada in Europe and the way it worked for them was at the end of the season the older stuff would get shipped to the outlets. As people pointed out it’s probably a mixture, but for sure some of it is just older stuff, not Made-for-Outlet

All of the Prada outlet Bags i have seen are very nice and durable. Most of the other Designers use cheaper Leathers on the made for the outlet Bags. I feel it degrades the Label when they do it.

Do you know the name of this bag?

No, sorry.

I just hit a Prada outlet outside of San Francisco.. many older season runway pieces (including bags and shoes). Definitely not junk made just for outlets. Great merchandise, felt like a retail store in my opinion.

The outlets typically carry older season items and overstock. The quality in my opinion is the same as the boutiques except a lot cheaper in price. Check out what I just picked up from the Livermore Outlets:

Same outlet I frequent most often. I’ve found some incredible (past season) runway shoes there. Great nylon pieces!
