Fendi or Prada?

I love Italian style and like you I'm a loyal Gucci fan. Everything in Gucci is made beautifully and long may it last.

I've only ever owned 2 Prada bags and recently gave one of them away to a Prada loving friend. Occasionally, I'll check on the website but nothing catches my eye. I used to buy the RTW and have 2 exquisite jackets I would never let go (a python and an ostrich) and I love the shoes and boots (and have lots). I find the RTW and the footwear excellent quality.

I must say that in recent years Fendi has got itself together again. Like Gucci they do many price points for different people, if I bought Fendi it would be high end (proper ltd ed peekaboo or one of their hand finished bags) no good messing around with the more commercial lines. I have have a couple of Fendi dresses and a fur coat, the fur coat is out of this world (I need to collect it from storage!). I tried on Fendi boots a couple of years ago - crippling, so lovely to look at on others but not for me.
 
I have both and both are great quality, in my experience. However, my Pradas are a few years old and I hear their quality has diminished lately. Style-wise, I prefer Fendis over Pradas lately.

I have two fendi coats, love their coats...
 
I love Prada. But Fendi has become more innovated and has more variety of styles than Prada. And that is my biggest gripe on Prada lately. I am tired of the mass of lux tote like bags with also Too much bags in saffiano leather. And that is frankly annoying. [emoji36][emoji36][emoji36][emoji26]

Reminds me of the Zucca rut that Fendi was stuck in about 15 years ago. :laugh:
