I’m a bit late to the game and have just ordered this little bag. I’m not really clued up on Prada as I usually buy LV, Gucci or YSL. I like how this is trendy but also quite understated. I’m wondering if it’s still popular though as it’s a lot of money for a bag with a short life span. I know, I know that if I like it that should be the only thing but that’s fine for low price items. I kind of expect high end items to have longevity! As my knowledge on Prada is limited, I wondered what those in-the-know though of it longer term?

This is just my personal opinion...I've had this bag for over 1 year and I'm still so very much in love with it.

Did it come out as a trendy bag? Abosultely, with it's guitar strap and the extra pouch BUT when you think about, it's also a remake of a classic so imo it definitely holds its weight in the "classic bag" category. Prada nylon has been around forever and it's a signature Prada thing. It's not for everyone of course but when I think Prada I think nylon. I love how the bag can be worn more than one way so if couple years from now you are not feeling the whole thick strap multi pochette look you can easily carry it as a small shoulder bag with the short chain or add another strap you like for xbody wear and that look will never go out of style.

I bought this bag not for the trend but simply because it screams "me" to me. I hope you will love yours for the years to come.

Thank you for this. It’s good to hear from someone who has loved the bag for a period of time. Mine arrives today and I do think it has so much going for it. I’ve never looked at it before (never been keen on the LV multi). I love the curved shape of the top and feel that makes it look smarter if I want to use it with the chain only. I’m a mum of two primary kids so I need practical but also want it to look good. Hoping it is a long term bag for me too :smile:

If you don’t have too much personal stuff to carry on a daily basis, this bag might just be THE practical yet stylish bag you are looking for!

The great thing about Prada nylon is its durability and the thick strap makes it super comfy to wear plus the bag itself is fairly lightweight especially if you don’t carry the chain (but personally I love the chain so I never take it off :biggrin:). I’ve carried it on multiple occasions from going on a hike to going out for a nice dinner and it’s all worked out for me lol.

I do find the small pouch sort of get in the way sometimes so I don’t wear it out much but on the bright side, without it, the bag is even more understate and “classy”? if you know what I mean…:P

Sorry I’m rambling on. Just love this bag soooo much and I hope you do too should you decide to keep it and start wearing it :heart:

I love your enthusiasm for it! So the update is, the bag arrived. Whilst it is a little smaller than I imagined, it does fit my things as I really don’t carry many daily essentials (phone with folio case so my cards are in there, key cles and small flat coin purse). Anyway, I also managed to score a preloved one for £300 under RRP and that is arriving today so, if it’s in new condition as it was described, I will keep the preloved one and send other back. Win win Hopefully.

Hello everyone


Last week I asked you here in this thread, whether to go with the 2000 or the 2005 one with the saffiano strap-

Your answers helped me a lot and yesterday my 2005 arrived. I already love it really much and I am sure, this particular model was the best one to choose.

The 2005 multi with the chain and the guitar strap was never really an option for me, because I think I wouldn't wear the thick strap often and so the price difference wouldn't be worth it for me.

To the 2005 with the leather strap I could attach a chain or a longer crossbody strap at any time (for example when hands-free would be needed for traveling) and that would not be possible with the 2000. Also I think the small saffiano details, the longer and thinner strap and the metal zipper elevate the look of the bag.

:smile: can't wait to wear her out

Just received the Re-Edition 2005. Bought the bag from Prada's online store and just out of curiosity wanted to check where it is made. But I can't find the made in tag anywhere! I've literally searched all the tiniest corners of the lining but there is no tag. Is this normal?

There should be a little black tag telling you where it’s made. This is from my re-edition 2005. 17375040-99DA-4001-8D69-E75BB7DE52AB.jpeg

Nope, no tag. In my other nylon bags the tag is easy to find, even though it's tiny. I contacted Prada customer service. Very interesting to hear why the tag is missing.

Hmmm...now I'm interested in what they told you. Do you mind sharing? If you don't want to post it publicly, maybe you could message me the reason?
