I say the Prada but with saffiano in a bag color and hardware combo that you don't already have since you mentioned having a YSL black camera bag with silver hardware. That's me projecting though because I don't use WOCs (too small for me) and I like Prada saffiano although I don't have a re-edition. If interested in Prada you may want to look into international stores because it might be a bit cheaper--although if there were issues with the bag it would be more difficult to deal with.
 
I would get the Prada bag. You already have the LV Felicie to use as a dressy WOC if needed. I see you also mentioned you’re pretty casual. So the Prada nylon Re Edition would work well. I’m very casual as well and only use my YSL clutches if I’m dressing up. I feel like they’re too dressy for everyday (for me). If you already don’t use your other bags bc they’re too dressy feeling then I think you’ll feel the same way about the YSL. I’ve also had the Prada Re edition both in saffiano and in Nylon. The nylon is much more forgiving whereas the saffiano one bulges much more noticeably on the front corners since it’s a stiffer leather. It’s not as forgiving so it doesn’t fit as much as the nylon.

It's up to you. I think this Prada bag would work well for you. I think having placed your initial post in the Saint Laurent forum, answers will be skewed in that direction. Good luck! and let us know what you

You mentioned you had the prada re edition does that mean you’ve sold it now and didn’t like anymore? Or what was your reason for not keeping it?
 
This is mine. I just got it last month. I love it, it's very easy to wear and holds a lot for its size. Despite my aspirational username, I actually live a very casual life. Jeans, fleece, and dogs are the norm. I expect to use it for a long time.

I sold the saffiano because the bulging and denting in the corners when filled drove me nuts. Lol. I did sell the nylon one, but only because I had it in cornflower, which is a very light blue. I found that light nylon and I don’t go well together. I will more than likely buy it again in black, but am kinda waiting to see if they’ll re release it in navy. I love navy and silver hardware together.
Right now I use this Prada mini bag a lot. I added a crossbody strap from my old Prada phone case, and it works great as a crossbody bag. Fits the same amount as my LV PA’s. Even though it’s flat it fits a lot because it’s nylon, and the shape keeps it from bulging weird. I would buy another but besides the black, they only offer it in lighter nylon colors.

For YSL, have you looked at the baby Nikki at all? That’s an amazing everyday bag too. And very versatile.

I have the Ysl camera bag in black and silver and I actually never use it.
I’m just indecisive ‍♀️

Do you wear your prada one often? And do you think that one will go out of style ?

I wear it relatively often.
I rotate among my bags so it's hard to say. But it's probably in my top 5 most used. I enjoy the more discreet logo, especially for the current times.
The silhouette of the bag itself is very very classic. I don't think it will go out of style. :smile:

Wearing it with a crossbody strap is a little more trendy but I still like it.
To be honest thought, I wear it more as a shoulder bag than a crossbody. Been favoring shoulder bags in the past couple of years.
