Is the Prada Re-Edition Nylon bag worth the purchase?

Just ordered the Prada Re-Edition 2005 Nylon Bag in black! I was about to buy it pre-loved today for $1800 CAD but was looking on the site after dinner and it was in stock (decided to just suck it up and pay retail for a brand new bag), hopefully my order doesn't get cancelled as the bag is out of stock now.

This will be my 2nd Prada bag. My first one I purchased when I was 14 (23 now) and on vacation in Bermuda, which now that I think of it, It would've been 10 years ago now. I'm thinking of consigning the first one I bought at a local luxury consignment store as I haven't touched it in years and don't know how to style it (it's a denim type bag).

OMG. I ordered a bag (nude nylon) on the site laaaaaate Tuesday/going into Wednesday. I got the we received your order email blah blah blah and that I’d get a confirmation email and shipping email in due course. I’ve checked a few times today but the order says in process and now I’m panicking. Haha!

They defs got my moolah though so I hope I am just paranoid.

FWIW, when I ordered the Navy one for my wife back in January, there was 1 left and it was showing sold and available at different times of the day, before I finally pulled the trigger. It stayed at out of stock after I did.

It then took 7 whole days for it to be "confirmed", but from talking to live chat after the 4 day mark they mentioned that it was being transferred from another boutique but there's a possibility might get cancelled.

Fortunately it did ship the same day it was confirmed out of my local boutique and they even wrapped it nicely in a gift box instead of just the shopping bag.

It was definitely nerve racking during those 7 days and I was even lucky enough to get with the old strap, which says "PRADA" all over instead of just one spot of the newer models. Made in Italy too, as that was another thing that I was worried about.

I got the email that my order has been processed and has been shipped! That was just about a 16 hour turn around time for ordering and getting it shipped. Hopefully you hear about yours soon!

Haha! The good vibes in the thread must’ve helped. Got a email message late in the afternoon to tell me it was available for pickup and dropped by today. (got the shoulder bag version). Can’t wait for it to warm and wear super-cas.

Hi, here is mine, saw the quilted version and really liked it! Doesn’t have the small chain to use as hand held though. Still debating between this one or the saffiano leather version with gold....hmm.

Love the quilted version! I have my eyes on another one that has the shoulder chain (similiar to Chanel19). It's called Prada System Nappa Leather Patchwork I believe. But I feel like it's too similiar to my Re-Edition 2005 since both bags have the thick fabric strap and the little pouch :/ and the nappa leather is kinda pricey too...:facepalm::facepalm:

I’m eyeing Prada System Nappa leather in the color Water Lily. It is soooo soft and luxurious... wonder if anyone notice this one? Please share your thoughts.C3372333-82FA-488A-8288-237457FAEAF1.png

that’s the one!! I wish it came in more than 3 colours. There’s a nylon version too but no chunky chain with the nylon apparently. I was at the Prada store couple weeks ago and the SA was reluctant to show me the bag. It sounded like she had one or two in the back but perhaps they were on hold for other people so she didn’t want to bring it out? She also told me it’s been selling fast but who really knows right. I should just msg my SA and find out but I still think it’s too similar to my re-edition...
 
Can't believe the price has gone up again! When I first wanted one they were about £250 cheaper than what they are now it's so annoying :annoyed: I remember reading someone's comment on this thread saying if you want one then to buy soon as price will go up due to the popularity and it's gone up 3 times now!
