Is anyone still wearing/buying Prada nylon?

I still have my three that I totally adore. They are from 6-12 years ago and better made than the newer ones, but I reach for these bags more than any of my leather bags.

Finally caved. Just added a new nylon messenger to my collection. This one actually has handles on it as well, which I could have done without, but I like the bag and the size and the price was really super. It's from the 2015 collection, so it's fairly new, but I checked it out from stem to stern and the quality was surprisingly comparable to my older nylon messenger bags and it was also made in Italy as my other ones are. I'm not sure what kind of color resolution is coming across here, but live and in-person, it's a beautiful shade of rich emerald green. It's fairly neutral in my world. Looking forward to using it for our annual Christmas at the beach trip coming up soon.

It's always been on my wishlist to own a Prada nylon bag! Just got her today :heart: can't wait to use her!

I've been using a light gray Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag as my weekend bag and, unfortunately, there has been color transfer :sad: I just want something minimalist and fuss-free. It also rains a lot where I'm from (Vancouver, BC) so I need something that I don't have to baby or worry about. I think this Prada nylon bag is it! :biggrin:

Question for you about this bag. If you leave it unbuckled does it fall forward? Or does it stay upright? I’m not sure I’ll have the patience to use the buckle all of the time but I worry if I leave it undone it will tip forward and things might fall out.

Hope my question makes sense!

Hi there, I never buckle mine and it only slouches a bit forward when I have something in the top flap with the logo. I usually put my phone in there for easy access and have no issues.

Action shot of my new messenger. Seriously windy out on the pier that day! Really loving this bag and I actually like the handles now.

Obsessed with Prada nylon this past year! Picked up a vintage waist bag, fw2018 black patent nylon gaiter pumps, and a dual pin/keychain for good measure.. this is so reminiscent of my 90’s high school days, and yet the fall/winter 2018 runway show felt extremely sci-if/futuristic. I love it!!

Happy 2019 to all!
I just received my new Prada backpack (I purchased it from the Prada online store, it’s available in navy, $1290).

I didn’t look very closely on the website, I thought I was purchasing a ‘black’ backpack but when I received the order confirmation, I was surprised to see ‘navy’ on the invoice, haha.

Nonetheless I am so pleased with this backpack, a ‘happy mistake’ in my color preference. I already tore off the hang tag and got rid of the huge packaging (I generally don’t keep boxes from any brand, I keep just the dust bags because boxes take up too much space in my opinion). No regrets! I typically stick to black color bags and I don’t have a single blue toned bag in my wardrobe. This ‘navy’ by Prada is a beautiful dark navy, it almost looks black.

I have placed my black nylon cosmetic bag next to the backpack for color comparisons.

Thanks for reading this long-winded post! This is my very first backpack as an adult (I missed out on the 1990s backpack trend haha) and I am so thrilled with my new Prada nylon backpack
