Hey everyone! I'd like your opinion on the following bag, I kind of love it but am worried it's unpractical. Has anyone seen them in person? My province is currently in lockdown so I am unable to check them out and can't find any reviews online. I'm kind of loving the astral blue version.

Not sure how long it is as I haven’t measured, but I am a large person in general (5’10”, XL, 38C), and have no issues with the strap length - I never adjusted it longer or shorter. There’s definitely room to make it longer. I wear mine crossbody too. The mini pouch sits perfectly on my chest.
I used the bag recently for the first time when I went shopping for groceries since my shoulder hurt too much to carry my Chanel BA, and the Prada was sooo light and convenient. You could always try one and if it doesn’t work for you, return it.
I went in to Saks to buy a bag to replace my well loved Prada nylon crossbody and I originally thought about getting an upgrade to a Celine Trio. Figured it was a tad more formal and hey, leather. While trying on the Celine I saw this Prada re-edition: https://www.prada.com/us/en/women/b...2000_shoulder_bag.1BH046_064_F0002_V_W11.html and snapped it up. It has the same shape as the Celine, but the sales associates all said the Prada would hold up better. I'm very happy with it. I feel like the quality of the zippers, metal, smaller details are better than the older nylon bags.
Ultimately, the worth it factor depends on your lifestyle. I wore my old nylon bag at least twice a week while running errands or going for a walk around town. I never carry a lot, so the small size was perfect for me.

I have this exact same bag and highly recommended it. The best feature is the middle compartment between two zipper when I put my phone for easy access. It actually fits more than it appears to be and so light weight.
My mini re-edition arrived last week. Here it is:
It's tiny, but so cute. I can fit essentials in it like card case, hand sanitizer, and lip balm. Now I want other colors....

Hi all, I’ve now had my black re edition 2005 for about 7 months and it has been getting almost daily use. That said, I’ve just noticed that the part of the leather on the clochette that is in the ‘loop’ (and which appears to have been glued together) has started to separate. Has this happened to anyone else who has had this bag for a little while?
Oh no! I’ve had mine for about a year, used it quite frequently, but haven’t had that issue. There is some mild crinkling in the leather, which I’d expect from a strip so thin.
Do you mind sharing how you got this cutie?? Whenever I look at Prada’s website it is unavailable!
Try calling Prada Customer service, with the website it's kind of like a waiting game cause it'll be there one minute and then "available soon" the next or if it allows you to locate in store then do that as well.
I got mine from the Korean Prada website as I live in Seoul. Maybe stock depends on country, too? I would also try to call and see what's available near you like this poster said.
Has anyone else noticed a price increase for the 2005 re-edition bags?
I ordered the crossbody nylon bag at $1690 CAD a couple week ago, but now it looks like it's $1,850 for the same bag. I also saw a screenshot here at TPF that it was $1,370 CAD previously. That's a price increase of 35% in only a span of 15 months or so...yikes!

yes! I bought mine in the US in November and when browsing the site noticed the price went up A LOT since then. I almost considered returning mine but I’m so glad I didn’t because not only is it my go to bag now, but the price increase is crazy.
What does everyone use the little pouch for? I had been keeping my cards in it but the zip is tight and I’m worried that I’ll lose them so I will be transferring to a cardholder.
I use Honest hand sanitizer and the spray bottle is too large to fit.
any suggestions? I truly do love this bag, it’s so perfect for the pandemic since it’s lightweight, hands free and holds exactly what I need for a trip to the grocery store or to get take out.
