I don't know how true it is, but a Holt Renfrew Prada specialist posted on instagram the 2000 re-edition bags are getting another price increase soon, meaning the rest of the re-editions may too. :sad:

not only will they increase the prices again - they lower the quality at the same time

They stop using ANY saffiano leather for the 2000. It's now 100% nylon - so it's cheaper for them to produce the 2000- mini bag - but they sell it for a higher price

Yikes... I would not be surprised in a few years Prada's nylon prices will hover around Saffiano prices.

100%! I've seen they replaced the saffiano zipper pulls with nylon ones on many of the nylon mini pouches and bags too.

Prada's quality has been messy for a very long time, even Made in Italy pieces have messy quality. Their printed cotton ready-to-wear sometimes has small white spots where the print didn't catch onto the fabric. Sometimes their shoes often have crooked stitching or flaws on the leather upper. I had to go through 3 pairs of the monolith ankle boots at my Nordstrom to find one that didn't have crooked, skipped stitching at the back, or weird ridges on the leather.

They're moving much of their production back to Italy, but quality isn't going back up.

In Germany, where I live, the 2000 edition went up from 590€ to 650€ today - and like I already mentioned, they are full nylon now - no Saffiano leather anymore

so that makes 10% up + at the same time lower the quality

I am out, Prada! No way I will buy this

$1100 in Canada for the Re-Edition 2000...:shocked: but the pull tab is still in Saffiano leather :roflmfao:

There's another one on the Canadian site called the Re-Edition 2005 Nylon Mini Bag (not to be confused with the one that has a chain, guitar strap and a pouch!) going for $1150CAD. It looks quite similar to the first version of the Re-Edition 2000 and still has leather handle, trimming etc

So here we go :smile: I'm relatively new to the forum and am about to gonna buy my first Prada nylon bag.

I'm currently debating between the re-edition 2000 and the re-edition 2005 (but the one with the thin shoulder leather strap only, not the chain & thicker crossbody strap)

any opinions or thoughts anyone - and maybe why?
are there differences in wear & tear (metal zipper vs. plastic zipper & leather edges vs. fabric edges?) -- or is your vote only based on looks?


thank you lots

Hi! I tried the thicker canvas strap on in store and my SA and I both agreed that the leather strap is definitely more comfortable as a shoulder bag. I know that a lot of people make it work as a shoulder bag but I personally think it looks too tight under the arm. To be honest, I didn’t pay attention to any of the other details LOL. But if that’s a dealbreaker for you like it was for me, it’s def something to consider.

Are you not considering the Re-Edition 2005 w/ the guitar strap + chain because of the price or simply not into the look?

I have that one in nylon and personally, to this day, I think it's the best choice I made when I was purchasing the Re-Edition series. That bag to me is like a 3-in-1; I can wear it crossbody, as a shoulder bag and more...and of course I LOVE the overall look of the bag with the thick strap and all.

BUT! If that look isn't for you then I get it. In that case, I would spend a little bit more ($50CAD+) and get the Re-Edition 2005 mini w/ leather trim. It gives the bag a more luxurious feel, which can be dressed up easier, and I believe will retain better value and life in the long run.

IF you don't mind the thick crossbody strap+chain look, have you seen this one?

I have both - the 2005 in Cammeo; and the 2000 in White. I find the 2005 sits better - the leather strap does not slip off the shoulder at all, but I use my 2000 more often as I can fit more and I like the bright white Prada did the bag in. If I could only get both, I’d probably still go for the 2005 with Saffiano for the shoulder drop - I can’t see using a 2000 with a coat.

This video is pretty good and helped me a lot! (Not mine).

Hi -- I also recently debated between those two, but when I saw them in person I had to go with the 2005. The leather strap on the 2005 seemed much more luxurious and was slightly longer than the nylon strap on the 2000. The 2000 seemed super casual, whereas the 2005 could be dressed up a bit. Hope that helps, have fun deciding!
