Just bought my first ever Prada bag! I’m obsessed! I love how casual this bag is, I don’t have any bags that aren’t leather so I’m looking forward to a nylon bag being more carefree.
I’m shocked with how fast I got it too! I ordered it on Sunday night and it arrived this morning!

Beautiful! The more I see this bag the more I love it.

Ahh, I'm debating whether I should get the Prada Re-Edition with guitar strap + chain or the mini bag instead. I'm not a fan at all of the thick strap but I think the chain is sooooo cute. I think I like the chain more than the leather strap on the mini bag but the thin leather strap is pretty cute too. I'm just not sure what I would do with the guitar strap after, lol.

i had the same dilemma and went for the 2005 version with both straps. i almost never wear the crossbody so i basically paid that much more for the chain lol... but also it was worth it because i get more use out of it since the chain has a longer drop it sits more comfortably on my shoulder and fits over oversized sweaters etc whereas the leather strap one wouldn’t stay on over my sweater

Thank you for this!! I foresee myself using this bag a lot so I think it'll be worth it too. :biggrin:

I can't absolutely verify this, but when Prada started farming out their manufacturing to China, rumor had it that the Prada boutiques were VERY aware of the "Made in China" stigma. More than once someone has posted the same thing you posted: no Made in [wherever] tag to be found and the story was that the SA's were removing the Made in China tags to also remove that stigma. Sleezy, but believable.

Very believable. If the bag was made in Italy there would absolutely be a tag. Now it just seems like they are hoping that the customers don't notice anything and won't ask questions. Such a shame there isn't a Prada store in my country, I'd love to take a closer look at the new Re Editions and check if their tags have also mysteriously vanished:cool:

Hi, does anyone have the one in Alabaster Pink and can post a picture? I am debating and unsure because it seems so very light in color…
Is it noticeably pink or more white in tone?

I appreciate and thank you for your help!

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?

Does anyone happen to know if this bag has been discontinued? It seems to be out of stock everytime I check for it :(

If you are near a store/boutique, I'd suggest going in to put your name down on the waitlist.

When I bought mine I put my name down at both stores near me, each had about a 20pp waitlist, and I got a call in 1 week! Note that I also didn't have a SA at the time nor did I have a history with Prada..this was well over a year ago.

Good luck!

I like it. But I think it’s a “trend” bag. Personally, I stick to classic shapes. If you can’t get it off your mind, then buy it. It can come back around in the future again anyway!
